I don’t think some realize just how fast it can happen. We had a boat 1/2 mile from the ramp when they first heard thunder. Packed up and went straight to landing. The wind was already blowing as hard as ever and had 4 ft swells. That took place in a matter of 5 min. Could the guide done anything di...
They had on life jackets. They were inside the cabin on the pontoon and could not get out in time. ...
I don’t know who you went with, but the guide in this incident was very familiar with the lake and grew up guiding. His step dad has guided for as long as I can remember. It wasn’t from a lack of experience or knowledge. It was a terrible, freak accident....

Don’t let everyone discourage you from bass fishing. The offshore bass bite has been as good as ever. We caught close to 100 on an afternoon trip earlier this week. 50-70 bass has been our average outside of the 3 days of he splash last weekend. A jigging spoon and Carolina rig is all you need. Look...

Mine has been great! Honestly, best motor I’ve had. Great on gas and a ton of torque. And BRP didn’t go out of business, they just stopped making Evinrude. Parts are still widely available and plenty of mechanics work on them. Realistically, someone could buy my boat for $12k cheaper than one with a...

Yep hats why it hasn’t sold yet. And I’ve got it prices $12k lower than the exact same boat with a Mercury. ...

Let me know if we can help. We would love to take you fishing. Bent Rods Guide Service 318-308-5818...
We are still here, but overall, much lower turnout this year. Having it at the Riverfront really hurt us. ...

That was David Cross. He is one of our full time crappie guides :lol:...

I’d recommend a Garmin 93sv. You can find them on sale for $600 or so and it will do everything you need plus you can add a Livescope to it later in down the road if wanted. ...
It’s going to be some giant bags caught by to consistently catch 25lbs a day will be difficult. I think you’ll see a ton of 16-19lb bags a day and 96lbs will win it. ...
We will be there there. If y’all swing by the Bent Rods Guide Service booth, come say hi!...
If you ever need to entertain some clients on the lake, we’d love to partner with y’all up here at Toledo bend! Bent Rods Guide Service...

Yea I talked with Ben after all of that. We got it worked out. Not sure why, but apparently it was taken the wrong way as if we were out there trying to beat the MLF guys. We did our best to stay out of their way but still do our jobs as well. ...
