Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Russell Rollins consistently delivers exceptional fishing results, with customers regularly catching their limits of catfish in under two hours and bringing home substantial hauls of both catfish and crappie. His boat accommodates up to four people perfectly, and he utilizes advanced techniques like live scope for crappie while also providing live bait for couples who prefer fishing together. Russell knows the prime honey holes and adapts his approach based on conditions, working productive spots efficiently rather than running all over the lake. Customers appreciate Russell's storytelling abilities and wealth of lake knowledge, including local history that adds depth to every trip. He shows exceptional patience with young children, ensuring four-year-olds stay actively involved throughout the experience. Even when weather challenges arise like thunderstorms or high winds, Russell finds protected coves and keeps the trip productive and enjoyable. Customers consistently book return trips and describe him as laid-back, fun, and genuinely passionate about what he does.

Captain Russell gave us a really memorable day on the water. We caught dozens of catfish from his honey holes and managed to bring a few crappie in on a fairly slow day. His boat is set up perfectly for up to 4 people. He's an amazing guide and clearly loves what he does. Would recommend he and his services to anyone looking to have an unforgettable day on the water!

Friendly and knowledgeable, answered all my questions about crappie fishing. Was amazing with my four year old son and made sure he was involved as much as possible.

Be sure to schedule your trip when the weather is warm! We went in mid-March in the morning and the boat ride was cold! We caught Crappie and Catfish enough for our family for months! Russell was great and quite a storyteller. We are going again later in the season later in the day!!

We went fishing with Captain Russell and quickly reached our limit of catfish in less than two hours. Captain Russell made the fishing experience enjoyable, and we'll definitely be booking with him again in the future.

You won't need snacks because you'll be too occupied catching fish.

Had an excellent fishing experience with Captain Russell. He has a keen sense of where the fish are and what they're biting on. Although I booked a half-day trip, he exceeded my expectations by ensuring I caught plenty of fish for a substantial fish fry. We ended the day with a nice variety of catfish and crappies. Thank you, Captain, for a memorable outing!

Captain Russell contacted us before the trip to understand what activities my wife and I would enjoy. Normally, he deals with clients who focus solely on catching crappie using a live scope. I informed him that we preferred to fish together, and he did a fantastic job accommodating our preferences. He brought live bait, which enabled us to fish simultaneously and have a more engaging experience. As a result, we were able to catch both bass and crappie and had a more enjoyable time overall.

With Captain Russell, our vacation was successful and unhurried. While catfish were eager to eat, crappies weren't. You will like his depth of information as well as his sense of humor. He is knowledgeable about the history of the lake. In April, we'll try for crappie and visit him once again. Thank you, Capt.
