Professional Fishing Guide at Callaway - Half-day Bass Spin Fishing Trip - Callaway has long been known for her magnificent largemouth bass, and in the past conventional tackle fishers have begged to go where only fly fishers have gone before–the twelve other lakes on the property. Now, it’s possible to book a guided spin fishing or baitcasting trip and fish for the bass of a lifetime. Our guided guests are regularly catching 6-13 pound bass, and we’re convinced there are personal record-breakers out there waiting for many of you. There are many days when guests report catching up to 135 bass per day! Because we do a very limited number of conventional tackle trips, and because many of our guests book several months ahead of time, we suggest making reservations with plenty of advanced notice. Expires 09/23/10
