    My husband and 11 year old son went and had a blast. Lonnie was easy to talk to and great with our son. They caught a ton of fish. He supplied everything. We will use him again!

    Lonnie is a very top notch bass fishing guide as well as overall great person. Book a trip with Lonnie and it is true bass fishing experience. Not only will you catch fish but he will teach you many things about the water that you are fishing. I have been out with him on both Guntersville and Smith lake and any trip with him is always a great time fishing. Highly recommend!

    Fishing with Lonnie is like fishing with an old fishing buddy. He works hard to put you on fish and gives great advice. He takes the time to give tips to help you become a better fisherman. Very responsive to questions and gives more than superficial answers. Very knowledgeable.
