Bass Fishing on Head Water with Dan Dan Hamilton was so informative, kind, and responsive. He kept me informed on lake conditions the best spots to fish and put us right on bass. We have several bass within the first 15 minutes and I couldn’t even be more impressed! I also loved that he communicated with our 2nd boat captain on what we were doing and what decisions we made. He was pretty cut and dry but if you know Florida people then you know that is standard lol. Don’t use it against him because I promise he will get you bass!
