On the morning of June 3, 2022, my son, Logan, and I enjoyed the unique pleasure of celebrating his 21st birthday by joining Captain Kenneth Cates for a morning of bass fishing on Lake Rayburn.
Logan and I are novice fishermen at best, yet Ken treated us as though we were seasoned semi-pros who knew the ins-and-outs of experimenting with a wide-array of top-line rods, reels, and interesting looking artificial bait. I must admit that I personally snagged more overhanging tree branches and underwater brush than I did fish.
This said, Captain Ken is a consummate professional whose enthusiasm, patience, kindness, and encouragement made for a spectacular morning of fishing and friendship.
Logan and I will share this memory for a lifetime.

Fishing turned on first thing in am . It got tougher to connect after around 11 am , Capt ken never gave up and , we covered a lot of different places on the lake . we caught a lot of fish . It was a great experience and would highly recommend and I will go again . I have fished Sam Rayburn a lot in my life and I learned things about lake and different tackle I did not know .

We had a great time and enjoyed our time on the water even though the fishing wasn’t good due to weather.

I fish quite a bit in the west.
Ken took the time to explain and teach me how to rig and fish different tackle for Texas waters and how they may work wherever I fish. Sure we caught fish but the knowledge he gave me is priceless if you are a fisherman. Book this guide my friends. You can’t buy this.
