"What a pleasure to spend a day fishing with Bob! He is patient, knowledgeable, a good listener, teacher, and guide all wrapped into one. This was my first fishing trip with a guide and it was very great experience. Thanks Bob!"
Raul G., Harker Heights, TX

"Thanks again for all of your hard work getting me on fish and teaching me new methods and techniques, I found your advice on live bait fishing, jigging, downrigging and more effective ways of using sonar to be immediately effective and I will definitely be getting more from my sonar and downriggers from now on. I find that it's always worth getting a professional guide because I learn so much from them, your guide services and professionalism were were outstanding. I would reccommend your services to anyone who wants to learn about fishing or to perfect their fishing techniqes, I had a great time and if I'm back this way again I'll be looking you up for another fishing trip. "
SFC Jason W., U.S. Army Special Forces, Salt Lake City, UT

"Thanks, Bob, for a memorable fishing trip Saturday. Dylan had a blast as well as Jeffrey and I. Your hands-on approach for the kids is great -- teaching them various techniques, lure selection, and information on using conditions [in] determining the depth to fish. I've been on lots of guided fishing trips but never one where the guide was willing to share his tips and secrets. I would recommend this trip for young or old alike. I learned things I didn't know, as well. Thanks again. We wish you continued success."
Jeff Oliver, Oliver Brothers' Transmissions, Waco, TX

"Hello Bob, thanks so much for a great trip and the extra details [about downrigging]. We had a great time and certainly did learn a lot. I got the downrigger installed on our boat Thursday night and despite the strong winds and clouds the following morning, I took the wife out and we pulled in several fish on our own. The best part was that by the end, my wife was handling the downrigger and I could just drive and work on using the sonar to find fish. I am very grateful that we were able to accomplish all the goals for the trip- give Spencer a great birthday trip while getting him excited about fishing, and that I was able to take away the knowledge that I needed to make sure that our family outings are more productive in the future. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. Best regards,"
Don N., Round Rock, TX

""I contacted Bob to help me with my consistency in catching fish. Frustration was setting in and going 2-3 trips without a single fish was not going to cut it when I start to teach my son to fish. I needed to be able to get on the fish and hold my son's attention. After explaining my situation to Bob he planned a custom trip to fit my needs. The trip was a blast, I felt like a kid again cranking the 140 plus fish into the boat! Bob taught me several techniques I had never seen before and explained in detail how to reproduce each. It has been a week since I had my lesson with Bob. I have been able to translate his techniques to my local lakes and all of them have translated into more fish, including a 6 pound Buckethead [largemouth bass] yesterday morning on Lake Georgetown! It was a true pleasure to fish with Bob, I learned more in one day than I had in the last five years on the water. If only I could teach my son with such enthusiasm and patience. His attention to detail and love of his sport make a future trip with Mr. Maindelle a day on the lake to look forward to." "
Matt W., Austin, TX

"Bob, Thanks for everything you did and shared with me. The boys said "this was their best fishing trip ever!!!!!" I was just hoping they would have a good time, BUT this far exceeded everyone's expectations. Hope we can do this again in the future. Thanks,"
Ken S., Troy, TX

"Bob, thank you for a great fishing trip, I have been fishing all my life and do pretty well most of the time - but it was nice to to learn some new techniques and have one of the best days I have had on the water."
Rod T., Major, U.S. Army, Ft. Eustace, VA

"Thanks for the pictures. Susan showed them off to everyone all weekend!!! We had a blast. I was very appreciative of the help you gave me and for showing my wife a good time. She has already said after looking at the rest of your photo gallery that she wants to go with you again and catch an 8 lb bass!!! You will definitely hear from us again!!! We have also recommended you to several of our friends. Thanks again. I know what the boat looks like now so if I see you on the water I will say hello, but I won't "vacuum up all of the fish"!!! Thanks again!"
Craig M., Ellison High School, Head Baseball Coach, Killeen, TX

"Bob, thank you for your support of the soldiers and families from the 3rd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery. Your gesture of support significantly enhances the morale of the unit and is truly indicative of your business. Thank you for your contribution to the officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the Red Dragon Battalion!"
1SG Robert L., Command Sergeant Major & LTC Terry C., Battalion Commander, 3rd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery

"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Maindelle, thank you so much for the "gifts" of time, talent, expertise, and enthusiasm that you gave to our 5th grade students [while conducting the casting/fishing station at "Eagle Experience" outdoor day]. Our students learned so much and are continuing to talk about the habitats of fish and how to cast. They loved the casting lessons and competition. You are both very gifted with children. Your passion for God's creation and love for people was clearly evident. If you ever want to go into teaching, give me a call. Your participation helped up take a "new step" in reaching our goal of designing science learning experiences for our students that are engaging, memorable, and authentic. Sincerely,"
Sharon D., Principal, Nolanville Elementary School, Nolanville, TX

"I caught more fish in one day with Mr. Maindelle than I ever have in my lifetime."
Cadet Charles Y., United States Military Academy, Class of 2011

"There were three of us that went out with Bob. He put us on fish immediately. I took a couple of my college aged kids from my church and they had a BLAST!!! The total for the day was 361 fish. THAT'S RIGHT, 361. If you want to catch fish, you need to call Bob. He know's Stillhouse and Belton Lakes like the back of his hand. We used a jigging method to pull most the fish off the bottom. At times it did not seem fair to the fish because we would catch them as the lure was going down. I WILL USE BOB AGAIN IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE."
Jerry W., Harker Heights, TX

"Bob! Thank you so much for a wonderful day - the boys talked and talked about it (my husband is still grinning from ear to ear). What a great way to spend time together! Thanks again - the pictures are great!!"
Christy T., Killeen, TX

"Bob - Thanks for providing a very memorable experience for Hunter. I am sure it will be a highlight of his youth. We do not have the resources to provide such a successful fishing trip and appreciate that [you] can fill this gap expertly. This trip has exceeded my expectations as well a Hunter's. Thanks again for your efforts,"
Tom C., Grandfather, Cedar Park, TX

"I didn't hire Bob Maindelle and his guide service, but I did give him a call about Lake Belton. I am a tournament angler and I was fishing an upcoming tournament on Lake Belton, a lake I had never even seen before. I was nervous about going into a tournament blind, so I called Bob. Never having seen the lake before, I wanted to get some idea of what to look for when I got there. He gave me some info of the lake structure and the terrain around it that I was able to focus on pre-fishing to find the fish. Long story short, his tips on what to look for when trying to locate the fish on Belton paid off, found a game plan pre-fishing that we were able to stick to on tournament day and ended up placing 2nd! My thanks go out to Bob and his experience with Lake Belton, I can only imagine what a day on the lake with him would be like, he knows what he's doing! Thank you Bob for your help, I really appreciate it! God Bless,"
Jake S., Texas Tech Anglers Association

"Dear Mr. Maindelle, I'll always remember watching our Peebles [Elementary School] kids cast! What a wonderful, meaningful experience you gave them. Thank you for your enthusiastic participation in our science day. Sincerely,"
Gayle D., Principal, Peebles Elementary School, Killeen, TX

"Dear Bob & Rebecca, Thank you so much for participating in our "science adventure" out at the Parrie Haynes Ranch! It was an incredible day of hands-on learning for our students, and we could not have done it without you! The students so enjoyed your session and the "competition" … they are still talking about it! I appreciate your expertise throughout the day - through all ten sessions!! Both of you have had a tremendous impact on the lives of our 5th graders. I appreciate your help and guidance. Sincerely,"
Pam A., Campus Instructional Specialist, Nolanville Elementary School, Nolanville, TX

"Bob is the best fisherman I know! Every time I go fishing with him we always catch fish. I never thought I could be a part of catching 99 fish in one trip until I went with Bob. He knows what to do, when to do it, and how to set those fishing with him up for success."
Justin M., Killeen, TX

"Bob, I enjoyed meeting you, and appreciate your knowledge about fishing. The trip was well over my expectations. You were over the top on different techniques and most of all your character. I meet so many people in my business and employ many, you stand out in such a positive way. I will want to book another trip with you before Rachelle and I vacation in the fall. Thanks for the pictures!"
Mike M., Restaurant Owner, Salado, TX

"Bob, Thanks for a great time this morning and showing us all the tricks, we have never caught fish like that (although Spencer's fishing trip exceptions have increased dramatically now!) Thanks again, and we look forward to more trips with you."
Scott and Spencer L., Temple, TX

"Fishing with Bob was great! My son and I met Bob at the lake. After a couple of minutes of safety and where things were on the boat and a quick class on how we were going to catch the fish, we were off. Within 30 minutes of being at the lake we were catching fish! We caught over 100 (one hundred) fish in about 4 hours. My son caught the biggest, a 5lb hybrid bass. I would recommend Bob to anyone who wants to catch fish and have a good time. Thanks Bob, for an awesome outing!!"
Joe L., Copperas Cove, TX

"Mr. and Mrs. Maindelle, thank you so much for joining us out at Parrie Haynes [Ranch]. The students loved learning how to cast and are ahead of schedule with life science. You helped to make the day so memorable!"
Karey P., 5th Grade Science Teacher, Nolanville Elementary School, Killeen, TX

"Bob, thanks for the trip....Amy was as excited as the boys....they all loved it. Thanks again. It was the most fish they ever caught."
Karen C., Georgetown, TX

"Bob, thank you for the great trip and the pictures. Both kids had called their dads before we were across the Stillhouse Dam heading home. Tanner's dad then called me for specifics. Deb was really impressed with the pictures, as was I. Thanks again,"
Bill H., Belfalls, TX

"My father-in-law, Bob N., my brother-in-law, Justin H., and I met [Bob Maindelle] at 7 AM at Temple Lake Park ramp. Courtesy dock flooded by all night rain. Our guide had a live well full of shad and had rods rigged for topwater, down-rigging, and live bait. Topwater was slow, caught a couple of sandies and a 3-1/2 lb. hybrid. Went to downriggers, caught a couple. Still slow. So "Guide Bob" (we had two Bobs in the boat) says, "We'll get 'em with these shad.", and we moved about a mile, found a spot, and proceeded to "kill 'em". For three hours we caught largemouth, smallmouth, hybrid stripers and sandies on a ratio of about 4-3-2-1, 40% largemouth, 30% smallmouth, 20% hybrid, 10% sandbass - all on shad. I caught a 6-1/4 lb. largemouth and a 4-3/8 lb. smallmouth. Dad-in-law caught two 5 lb. largemouth. Brother-in-law caught a 3-1/2 lb. largemouth. We caught about sixty while basically fishing a 100 yd. stretch, back and forth. Nearly everything was 2 lbs. and up, except the sandies. The 4-3/8 lb. smallmouth took me about ten minutes - she drug lots of line - a great fight. My first smallmouth ever. Had only seen them on TV. Now I understand the fuss. The best news is, all of those dandy fish are still in Lake Belton. Guide Bob is catch-and-release."
