Rodman Reservoir Fishing Guide Reviews

Enjoyed the adventure I opted to fish Rodman Reservoir during the drawdown. Captain Chris was very accomodating and a pleasure to spend 6 hours with. His boat and equipment are setup for fishing this type of lake. The weather was ideal for fishing; mostly cloudy, west wind, warming temperatures. The water temperature was 66.The bass were not very co-operative. I caught five bass with the largest about 4 pounds. I also caught 4 mud fish and 1 small gar.
I will be back for another adventure next year.

Captain Ken Walker was an Amazing Guide!!! My daughter and I spent the day on Rodman Reservoir with Captain Ken Walker and he did not disappoint. We both caught several bass over 5lbs. Ken’s knowledge and skill set is fantastic. We recommend that anyone looking for a great day of fishing book a day trip with Captain Ken. 


The best day of monster bass fishing ever! 10 stars out of 5!!! I took my son on an eight hour trip with Captain Ken Walker on Rodman Reservoir on my sonâs 14th birthday. I had seen pics of huge bass that had been caught on that lake and had seen great reviews for Captain Ken Walker, so I had really big hopes for us. Captain Ken exceeded my hopes and expectations. We started catching fish within the first 20 minutes of fishing. Within the first 30 minutes of fishing my son landed a huge 9 lbs. 13 oz. trophy bass! From then on we never went more than 20 minutes without catching a fish. I landed an 8 lbs. 7 oz. and then an 8 lbs. 12 oz. bass by noon! Thatâs 3 trophies in less than 5 hours in the boat! We caught 7 different species of fish and they were all big and fun to catch. Ken is both a great guide and a gentleman as well. He greatly exceeded my wishes and desires. He was very helpful and patient with us. I canât wait to get back to Rodman to fish again and when I do there is only one person that I want to fish with - Captain Ken Walker! 


Rodman Reservoir with Capt. Ken Walker Wow, what a trip. Nobody can expect the trip we had every time, but what a guide. Would recommend him to anyone at any time. He will teach you a lot of nuances in regards to wild shiner fishing. Biggest 5 Fish: 1. 12 lbs. 8 oz. 2. 10 lbs. 4 oz. 3. 8 lbs. 5 oz. 4. 7 lbs. 6 oz. 5. 5 lbs. 7 oz. Nice stringer. 


Day on Rodman with Capt. Ken Walker My grandfather and I went out on Rodman and had a great time! We both have our new personal best bass, mine being 8lbs 15 ounces, and his being a little over 5lbs. Capt. Ken was very informative, and knew exactly where the fish were and how to catch them. I would high recommend this trip to anyone looking to catch big bass! 


Most Incredible Fishing Experience I just wanted to tell you about the most memorable and incredible Florida fishing experience I have ever had. My girlfriend and I went out on the Rodman Reservoir with Captain Ken Walker. If you are looking for a genuinely kind, patient, and knowledgeable fishing guide, Captain Ken is your man. Not every Captain is as professional as this one when it comes to teaching your loved ones how to land their new personal best. When you go out fishing with Captain Ken, know that you are going to get the most of your trip. You are most likely going to catch your personal best bass netted by one of the best. It was so awesome to get my girlfriend the biggest fish of her life and get her hooked on fishing. We could not thank Captain Ken Walker enough. We highly recommend him for showing you around this breathtaking destination. Thank you Captain Ken 


Happy husband CAPT Steve Niemoeller was an excellent guide.. his years of experience really showed and we had an excellent time.. He took us on the Rodman Reservoir and landed us on a perfect spot. Between the husband and I, 24 bass and two of which were over 9 pounds was beyond great.. I have been fishing before but Iâm no expert at all, CAPT Steve saw the right away never said a word but talked to me during every cast and walked me through every time I had a bite... itâs nice when u cast your own without help and he said âgood castâ.. the two big one I got on my own cast and set the hook, reeled that baby in and he smiles said âgood job thatâs a big oneâ...this trip was all for my hubby, but I think I had more fun..totally recommend this company and especially CAPT Steve Niemoeller... the pic is my big bass..

North Florida is unique as it has the warm summer months, but also the very cool winters. This is because summer months bass seems to go deeper and be less active. In the spring and fall, you will find the most activity. The winter months are known for the big spawning bass, but also cold, windy seasonal days.
