Contact and booking details

Guide and group options

Kevin’s website describes tournament success and appearances in fishing television and publications. The standard trip is planned around a small group. For more than two anglers, he can arrange additional guides rather than assuming one boat can accommodate everyone.

Fishing gear

Fly anglers can use supplied Hardy, Loomis and Tibor equipment, with hand-tied flies and leaders ready for the trip. Spinning and plug-fishing options use Shimano reels and Loomis rods. Discuss the intended tackle and target species before bringing personal gear.

Packing and departure

A cooler with ice is supplied. Bring food, drinks and rain gear if needed. The published departure is Glades Haven Marina, but confirm the current dock and start time. Ask about fishing-license coverage, park access and any additional costs for the chosen itinerary.

Booking details

Call or email for rates and available dates. Kevin notes that messages left while he is on the water may be returned in the evening. Ask for trip duration, deposit, cancellation and weather terms when arranging a single outing or a multi-day package.
