5.00Captain Ken Walker was outstanding! We did the 4-hour trip on Rodman. I've fished all over, for all types. As has my buddy. This was over the top on expectations and results.

5.00I 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.
