Reviews
I chose to fish at Rodman Reservoir during the drawdown, and Captain Chris was incredibly accommodating, making the 6-hour trip enjoyable. His boat and gear are tailored for this kind of lake. The fishing conditions were perfect: mostly cloudy skies, a west wind, and warming temps with water at 66 degrees. While the bass were uncooperative, I managed to catch five, the biggest weighing around 4 pounds, as well as four mud fish and one small gar. I plan to return for another adventure next year.
Ken Walker demonstrated remarkable knowledge and was both educational and patient throughout our experience. My son landed a personal best bass weighing 9 lbs. 12 oz. Thank you, Ken!
Captain Ken Walker provided an exceptional experience! We went on a 4-hour trip on Rodman. I've fished extensively, as has my friend, and this trip surpassed all our expectations and yielded impressive results.
