Especially if you get Jeff/Mary. I've seen some questionable stuff from the underlings.

Steve Bono w/o question. Jeff and Mary do not fish much anymore. If you can them them to take you they would not be bad.

Jeff/Mary are good
I like Sam Bordelon personally

I'd wait until it starts cooling off a little in late sept/oct to take a trip. It's pretty hit or miss right now with the water temp so high.

Josh Johnson or Jeff Poe! End of discussion!

Josh Johnson.
Josh used to guide for the Poe's (I believe). I have booked several trips with him and had good experiences. He's also a great guy. Once when the weather turned sour on us early in the trip he mentioned that we could fight it and catch a couple of fish the entire day or if we wanted....we could cut it short and just re-book for another day.
I haven't had that offered to me before. (hell he might have been hung over or had something else to do that day but it was a nice gesture).

Yep, Josh is a great guide and learned everything from Jeff Poe. I consider Jeff the best on the lake, and Josh is damn near his minime and on his own now, but Josh has more of a young, fun personality. Either one is a no lose! Hackberry Rod and Gun is, well, CORPORATE CATERING company that will take you fishing!

too each their own. I've fished with HR&G several times. I'm not a corporation. Had a blast.
If you want someone younger, fun & good, go with Sam Bordelon & Contraband Charters.

went with Norman Restor once. We were in West cove fishing under birds with huge specs (3-4 lbs) every cast for about 20 minutes. I had on the biggest trout of my life (8-10 lbs.)that came by the boat once close enough to net. I was yelling at my buddy and Norman for someone to get the net, but they wouldnt stop fishing/catching long enough to net my trophy. The big sow went on another run and when I got her close to the boat again she got off. I was pissed, highly pissed, just sat down and fumed for about 15 minutes. My Buddy and Mr. Restor didnt say a word.
I will not use him again. May be an isolated instance.

Josh is fun, catches fish, and has a badass Blackjack bayboat! To fish out of a blackjack has got to count for something.

Bono is an excellent fisherman. A little high strung, but will fish long and hard.

Norman is a nutjob! I stayed with him a few years ago on a weekend trip. One of my buddies ended up bringing Cap't Norman's shirt home to Monroe after the trip. I saw him out at Sixth Street one night with it on a year or so later. Good times!
