Dakota was a great fishing guide. Went with my kids 10 and 8 years old. Trout were hit hard by winter storm freeze so we went for red, drifting with drag net in bay. He kept our lines in the water with bait and made sure my kids lines were cast well constantly. He was friendly and was on phone real rime with other boats to keep up with where the fish were. He gave fishing technique tips and guided us on bringing them into the boat. We caught 4 red fish good size and ate them for dinner the next night. Highly recommend.
