Backwoods Catfishing Guide Service

Reviews

See what everyone is saying about Backwoods Catfishing Guide Service!

I take pride in being a top tier catfishing guide service. Please leave a review on Facebook and Google!

Each and every trip, I have the clients in mind first. I will do whatever is needed to ensure you have a great time and memories that last forever. If its a tough day of fishing, we keep going and try various methods. If a 100 pound catfish is caught? I will celebrate with you but we keep going for bigger. I’m never satisfied in giving you exactly what you came to Alabama to do and that’s to catch big fish! If you are unhappy with your experience or any issues at all from booking to arriving back home, please let me know so I can continue to improve. 

Thank you all for a review! That means a lot. Out of 50+ reviews we have maintained a 5 star rating on Facebook and on Google and that’s something I’m very proud of!
