“I have been fishing with Robert many times both for bass and crappie. He put my two kids (6+7 years) on about 30 crappie in less than 3 hours. He is an excellent guide and bass fisherman.”

About Robert

My wife and I moved up here in 2019 partly because of my passion for Bass fishing and Clearlake being known worldwide as "The Bass Factory."

I have loved fishing all my life but have been mostly Bass fishing for the last 16 years - almost exclusively at Clearlake for the last five years. The Crappie are so big here that I can’t resist fishing for them when the bite is on. We catch 50-100 in a matter of a few hours.

While I am passionate about fishing, My/Our biggest passion is serving the Homeless in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Every week my wife and I are joined by a team of people from 3 Churches serving the Homeless with food, showers, clothing and other resources that are available to them. Learn more about “Open Arms Ministry” here.

While living in Clearlake I have taken dozens of people out on the lake fishing from all ages 7 and up. My goal has always been to make sure we have fun. Of course, catching fish is a big part of that equation. See my testimonials of what they thought of their day on the lake and pics of the fish they caught.

  • My 11 year old went yesterday for the first on a boat with Robert and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for him. Dylan lived his best life for those hours on the lake and now I have a pro in the making. Thanks Robert for a fantastic time.

  • I’ve been fishing for bass most of my life and considered myself to be a pretty good angler. I asked Robert to take me out and show me some of the new techniques that he’s familiar with and I wasn’t and I have to tell you it was the best day of fishing in my life. We fished for about 4 or 5 hours and together we put a five fish limit together for around 35 pounds in total weight. That is the first 35 pound bag I’ve ever seen. Robert is not only a skilled angler but a skilled teacher worth every penny.

  • Thanks Bass Factory Guide Service for a great day on Clear Lake! As soon as I heard his previous boat record for Crappie was 106, I knew we had to try and beat it. So 107 Crappie on the boat today. we could’ve beat it by a few more, but decided to call it a day. We had tons of crappy that were in the one and a half to 2 pound range. And about a dozen that went for 2 1/2 to 3 pounds.

  • Can't say enough good things about Robert and the fishing. He knows all the good spots, we caught over 50 bass in 5 hours. Not only a great fisherman, also a great guy. Couldn't be happier with the day of fishing! Will definitely do this again.

  • We went out today for a half of day with Robert from Bass factory guide service, first time I had fished with him. We started out on top water until the sun came up, then switched to deeper fishing after that. In all I caught twenty bass, with a good number of big lunkers. Robert is absolutely accommodating, and made the trip. I would go again in a heartbeat.

  • Robert is an incredible guide! He is very personable and a great person to be on the water with. Robert is also very knowledgeable he knows where to find fish on Clear Lake and how to catch them. We fished late May and caught quality Largemouth and Black Crappie. Highly recommend!

  • What an unforgettable day on Clear Lake! I recently had the pleasure of booking a fishing trip with Robert, and let me tell you, it was everything I’d hoped for and more. I brought my two sons along, both avid little anglers, and we came home with big smiles and a memory that will last a lifetime. From the start, Robert was welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. He knew the lake like the back of his hand and guided us to all the best spots. The boys were thrilled every time they reeled one in, and Robert was right there cheering them on and offering helpful tips. He felt less like a guide and more like a fishing buddy who genuinely cared about us having a good time. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and safety was clearly a top priority. Robert had everything prepped and ready, so all we had to do was focus on catching fish and soaking in the scenery. Watching my sons laughing, learning, and bonding over each catch made it one of those rare and perfect experiences.

  • I have been bass fishing for 25 years. I just sold my boat and happened to have a trip to Clear Lake this weekend. I reached out to a few guides and Robert responded immediately. He was extremely easy to communicate with and we arranged a time to meet up. He was keenly interested in making sure he could accommodate my schedule and style of fishing. We met up this morning and the weather was extremely challenging. Despite this Robert went out of his way to accommodate me and my goals for the day. His boat is top notch with world class technology and his gear is also excellent. Despite the challenging weather, I had a great day. Robert is a down to earth guy who is easy to talk to and very accommodating. I will definitely look him up the next time I come up to Clear Lake. I highly recommend you give him a chance to take you out on this amazing lake.

I had a great time catching over a 100 Crappie fishing with Robert. I highly recommend him for a great experience you won’t regret. I can’t wait to get back out on the lake with you and break our numbers…..
