Captain Pat’s Guide Service

“My Bass Police Guide Service is all about providing clients with a memorable angling and outdoor experience”

Capt. Pat Bennett, owner and operator of Bass Police Guide Service, LLC. is a licensed US Coast Guard Captain with over 25 years of tournament bass fishing and angling experience. Each guided fishing trip to the lake is tailored to best meet the needs of clients as well as providing a photo record of their fishing and outdoor experience. The Bass Police are conservation minded and adhere to a “catch, photo and release” policy. That is not to say that if you catch the trophy of your lifetime you won’t be able to keep it, you will. However, a life sized reproduction of your catch will look better and last longer. The choice will be yours.

Capt. Pat excels at demonstrating and teaching the latest techniques for catching bass. Clients should take full advantage of this opportunity to learn something of the “Art of Angling” from Captain Pat. There is much more to a good fishing experience beyond the catching of fish. The goal of the Bass Police is to provide clients with a fun-filled day of learning, sightseeing and fishing with the utmost in professionalism and attention to detail.

Book your trips early and let’s go fishing!
