Big Fat Bass Guide Service – Erie 

I booked wirh Capt Destin because I wanted to learn how to bass fish in deep water. I’ve never been bass fishing in anything past 20’, or Erie, and he got us on a bunch of fish and some smallmouth. Very pleasant guy to hangout with. I only wish we coulda cracked some beers afterwards! I recommend.

Definitely will be booking Captain Destin again….Put us on really nice fish late spawn…..Had a great day with my sons.

He was very patient with our son who was just learning, easy to talk with, and everyone that was fishing caught fish.

Despite the windy weather, captain tried hard to help us get the bite! Can’t believe we can still have such a big bag in the weather like this! Strongly recommend!

Destin put me on the fish, that's for sure. He also is exactly what I was looking for- we used a variety of techniques throughout the day. It was great to use drop shots, crankbaits, swimbaits and jerkbaits with the advice from a tournament angler. His boat, rods, reels and tackle are all top notch. I really appreciated having access to quality equipment. If you're a serious bass fisherman this is the guy to book with. You will fine tune your techniques, learn a thing or two and have a fantastic time.

I've fished with Destin multiple times and never had a bad time even when mother nature tossed some weather curveballs our way. I got to fish spring, summer and fall and see the smallmouth eat about everything you could throw at them. This guy is a brown bass freak and I think whispers to them living so close to the water. Amazing boat and top notch gear Willing to work to make his clients comfortable on the water. His communication is top notch relaying weather forecast making sure you come dressed for your day. Make sure to get some forearm work outs in so your arms don't fall off reeling in fish all day!

Fishing with Destin has been a great time over multiple years of trips. His knowledge of Erie and the big water is impressive. A lot of fish 4+ lbs over those trips and more 5+ then we have caught anywhere else. He's great at teaching technique, whether you're an experienced angler or someone newer to the sport. And he works extremely hard to not just put you on fish, but quality. His boat and electronics setup is top end as well. We'll be back to fish with Destin again.

Due to high winds we had to stay in the bay but Dustin was just looking out for the passengers to enjoy the trip. Started off slow, but ended up with a total of 5 fish, most of them were in the second half of the trip. We will try to come back in the spring/early summer for warmer weather.

My wife and I came to Erie for a day trip for the first time. We were recommended Bar Ronin for a good dinner and we were not disappointed! Everything from the snacks to the desserts were delicious. The atmosphere is great. Highly recommend for anyone looking for some food in Erie.

I had the pleasure of fishing with Destin on several trips and looking forward to the next trip. He is a top notch guide and fisherman. Knows Lake Erie very well and always putting you on quality fish. Destin is an awesome person too. If your looking for a great smallmouth experience on Lake Erie, give Destin a call.
