Capt. Brad Leifermann... Extremely Professional. From pre-trip contact to finish we were provided with perfect equipment, and amenities, tailored to meet our needs. We fished pre-determined locations with action at all sites. He even had rods set with different types of lures for each of us, so that each place we were offering a menu. When there were hits on a particular lure, we just switched to another rod with that lure. Capt. Brad's extensive background and professional experience are evidenced in a terrific trip. We will be back. Thank you Capt. Brad !!

Capt Brad was a great host and a very willing instructor. I've been fishing for a while but have only dabbled with bass. Brad demonstrated many of the popular techniques that are effective for LM Bass. I'm ready to try some of these techniques on my own and will definitely be back for the advanced techniques class.

The bite was slow Saturday 10/26 on Lake Harris, didn't see any other boats land any fish. But Captain Brad was able to get my son Shane on about 12 bass and I manage to land about six. Shane loves learning and talking about fishing; and Captain Brad was happy to interact with Shane and exchange stories. Captain Brad showed us some new techniques and methods. It was a great day with a great captain.

Great Guide I suspect one of Brad’s stranger charters, but left me hoping to fish with him again. Our full day we already expected to be shortened by weather and that was confirmed when for the first time in my 80 years, I fell in the lake. Balance goes downhill as we age apparently and due to Ranger’s and Mercury’s dedication to streamlining, not much to grab onto as you go into the water. As a dedicated fisherman I hung onto the rod and reel and always looking for information about L. Apopka. one of Brad’s first questions was: “What’s the bottom like?”. I reported firm and Sandy. The purpose of our trip was partly due to Brad being a native Minnesotan, who my 17 yr old grandson and I were familiar with from his tournament record back home. After spending 8 hours killing $125 worth of Golden Shiners the previous day on Rodman Reservoir (4 bass) we were enormously relieved when he told us first thing that we would NOT be fishing live bait. He provides a great boat and great equipment and is very personable everything you want ifor a great experience on the water. I highly recommend Capt Brad Leiferman

Excellent Captain! We went on a guided trip in April of 2022 with Captain Brad and had a great time on the water. He put us on Bass all day and took us on a fun boat ride to show us the unique wildlife of the area. His 22 ft Ranger is loaded with all recent tech and enjoyable to ride in, with lots of room for fishing between the 3 of us total. Highly recommend fishing with Captain Brad if you want a quality fishing guide experience. Thanks Brad!
