It’s all about catching fish!

Take a look at the new Carolina Sportsman Guide Service fishing boat for the upcoming season.
After boating over 2000 fish this past 2008 season, I realized I needed more room to move around.

This boat will fish up to
4 people and your favorite four legged friend in case you cannot find a pet sitter.
If it’s to hot we can put up the top and continue the fishing. Just spin around and let me bait you up for the next bite.
This boat is so comfortable my wife wants to go fishing with me all the time.

This is the vessel that you are looking for when wanting:
-Quality family bonding
-Cohesion building business trips
-My buddies and I just wanted to do something together
-Somebody said you catch a lot of fish, make me a believer!

My intent is to offer you a safe and memorable guided fishing trip that will inspire the novice fisherperson and
make the pros jealous!

For those of you that have fished with me in the past, I thank you so much for your business and hope to hear from
you again soon for the 2009 season. For those who are interested in booking a trip, just call or e-mail and I will
do my best to answer all your questions.

I love life, just wish I had more bait!
Your friend,
Bob

Your Personal Fishing Guide

If you have never experienced catching allot of predator fish, you need to reserve a spot with me here at the CAROLINA SPORTSMAN Guide Service. The striped bass are at their peak spawning habits in early May in the upper Roanoke River. The season opens in March and continues through the end of April, although the striped bass continue to occupy these rapids until months later. These fish and several others are in the river shoulder to shoulder and will hit a shoe if you tie a line to it!

It is possible to catch up to one hundred fish in a single day. I have been catching fish on this river since 1975 and I want to share this adventure with others. Live shad or cut herring are the baits of my choice but I will occasionally throw white or yellow buck tails for some additional action. If you are looking for some father and son bonding or just some good ole times with a couple of buddies, reserve your spot now and come join me so you too can get a sore elbow!

To make reservations please call (252)-203-3831 and ask for Bob.

Thank you for your business!.

What CSGS provides for the trip?
We provide everything a person needs to catch fish with the exception of a valid NC fishing license,
We fish with 18 FT heavy duty Jon boats and water level permitting; we launch Pontoon boats as the primary river boat.
We fish live bait with a little something extra that really makes the fishing aggressive.
All tackle is provided, I will ask if you have a preference in equipment, spin or bait casters ECT. You might even have a favorite rod and reel you would like to bring from your own personal arsenal.
Site/Safety orientations of the fishing area and nearby facilities are given at the launch site.
The trips are normally 7 hours long, and the boat launching traffic at the ramp drives the shove off time in the river. The lake shove off time is decided with the clients.I am normally in the water by 0700 and shoving off when all parties are comfortable with their surroundings. Bring a few snacks, we can eat while continuing to fish or take a break on the bank, it’s really up to you. Bottled water is a plus when it‘s hot. I do provide menus on the boat if you would like to order from the local pizza/sub restaurant, pretty good food but it cuts a little bit into the fishing time. Make no mistake……..CSGS is a serious fishing guide service and we are there for YOU to catch the fish. There are no hidden surprises or fees. I address all questions and concerns that you may have before during and after the trip.
The Roanoke River Striped Bass season is a wonderful opportunity for anyone that enjoys catching great numbers of fighting fish. Season dates for keeping your creel are 1 March thru April 30 and sometimes it is extended to meet the needs of the State. Fish are still there after the season closes, just call or write with your questions. Corporate, family or just you and your dog we fish.
Booking now for the 2009 Striper season on the Roanoke River, for those who want the better dates! $100.00 deposit, minimum of 4 people. This is World Class Fishing from America’s backyard. Don’t miss out!
I want to thank all who have fished with me in the past, and hope we will fish together again soon.
I may have made a mistake somewhere in this ad, my apologies for it, I guess no ones perfect. If you have any questions just call or write and I will get back with you as soon as I am off the water or out of the woods or I have another signal. All kinds of references for my Guide Service, just call Halifax Chamber of Commerce, We are the real deal. Thanks for your time. Call or write and let’s book a trip you will always remember.

RATES

Lake fishing trips
Day or Night
Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, White Perch, Catfish and Walleye
$350.00/day for 1-4 people
(Lake fishing begins after May 15th)
 
The Lake fishing trip is a very relaxing, enjoyable fish catching trip. I have developed several ways to catch the different species of fish in this area and you will have the opportunity to experience a different way of fishing with something other than a hook and bobber.
The lake trip is a chance to go out on the water with family members, your co-workers, visitors from out of town or just because you wanted to do something different. Make no mistake; these trips are for catching fish and not just a boat ride!
We are fishing the Lakes pretty much year round so call and let’s get you on the calendar.
 
For all you overnighters or weekenders, call and lets discuss the Offshore Lot instead of the same ole Hotel/Motel Blah.

Roanoke River fishing trips
Striped Bass
 
$650.00/day for 1-4 people
 
The Striped Bass fishing trip is a first class, professionally guided trip on the upper most reach of the Roanoke River. Water level permitting, the river pontoon boat is the primary boat for the season, making every trip a very comfortable and safer drift as opposed to the safe but limited walk around space the other Jon boats offer.
The upper most reach of the Roanoke River is considered by some to be the Striper Capital of the World. The majority of my clients are return customers coming back year after year to this wild but wondrous blessing of nature. One day fishing on the Roanoke River will give you a life time of memories, so don’t forget the camera!
For all you overnighters or weekenders, call and lets discuss the Offshore Lot instead of the same ole Hotel/Motel Blah.
Booking now for the 2009 Striper season on the Roanoke River, for those who want the better dates! $100.00 deposit, minimum of 4 people. This is World Class Fishing from America’s backyard. Don’t miss out!
