Here is the detailed trip report from the guide's perspective:

What a great day we had out on the water with Joanne and the Cats on the Rock Guide Service team! The conditions were perfect for our 4-hour fishing trip at the Tamarac Marina. 

We had a lot of fun targeting channel cats using a variety of techniques like Trolling, Bait Casting, Heavy Tackle, and Drift Fishing. The action was busy all day long, which made for an exciting trip - especially for the kids. We managed to land a nice haul of fish that will make for some tasty fresh fillets.

The scenery was beautiful, and we got some great photos and videos of the trip. One of the highlights was when Joanne reeled in a big catch - you can really see the excitement on her face in the photo we took. Moments like that are what make these trips so memorable for our guests.

If you're looking to stock up the freezer or just enjoy a fun day of fishing, I'd highly recommend booking your next trip with Cats on the Rock Guide Service at the Tamarac Marina. Their 4-hour channel cat trip is a fantastic option, with plenty of action and the chance to bring home some delicious fresh fish. Give them a call today to start planning your adventure!
