Tom was literally the BEST guide!! He was incredibly knowledgeable and kind and professional. Truly created the BEST experience for my husband and I. We caught SOOO many fish! He is wonderful! I’m so glad he is in business doing what he does best. We will absolutely use his business again and recommend him to many friends and family. 5 stars easily. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
