I used to fish often when I was younger (20 plus years ago) since I had easy access to the lakes in upstate NY. After I entered the adulthood, life became busy with responsibilities and job obligation. I took a long break from fishing but always wanted to get back in to it. I met captain Rich and we went out to Lake Occoquan on several occasions. We fished for different species every time(large bass, cat fish and shad), just based on the condition for the day. Captain Rich had all the items that we needed for the day. I just showed up, hopped in the boat and we went. No hassle, no stress, and good time. Capt Rich was very professional and courteous. He is very passionate about fishing and knowledgeable around the local waters. I can't speak for someone is an experienced or expert fisherman. If you are somewhat like myself, an average guy who enjoys fishing....highly recommended
