What anglers are saying
- JJT YOLO· 4 months ago
My son and I had an absolutely amazing experience on this fishing trip. Mr. Mike Perry went above and beyond; super knowledgeable, patient, and clearly takes pride in what he does. Everything was handled with care, from the equipment to making sure we were in the right spots at the right time. You can tell this isn’t just a job for him, it’s something he genuinely enjoys, and it shows. Whether you’re experienced or brand new, he makes the whole trip enjoyable and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great time on the water. I’ll definitely be booking again.

My wife and I decided to take a quick weekend get away, we booked a trip with Mike, he had us on fish within an hour of stepping in his boat. Not only is Mike a great guide on the lake, also very knowledgeable of the history of the town. My wife and I caught our PB fish with him, we are already looking at dates to book another trip.

Mike was an outstanding fishing guide! He communicated clearly before the trip, met us early, and had a clean, well-equipped boat. We caught our limit early, which made for an awesome day on the water. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone in our family had a great time, regardless of experience. If you’re looking for a fun and successful fishing trip, we highly recommend booking with Mike!

By far the best and most experienced guide on the lake. Mike was great in all aspects of the trip. I would 100% recommend Top Gun. Always listen to your guide. They know best.
