positive review  My brother, his son and my son went out for the morning with Wally on the hunt for big cats and we were amazed. We had a great time and I know we will all remember this fishing trip very fondly. Biggest fish was 38" what a blast!

positive review  Dono is pure gold in fishing and in personality. I can't say I've met many people who I enjoy so thoroughly in the eight hours of meeting him. As for the trip itself it was nothing but monster cats all day long. Looking forward to doing a second trip in the near future. Thank you so much for all the laughs, this day will never be forgotten. Best Bachelor party I could have ever asked for.

positive review  Just got back from a couple days fishing with Donovan and Blackwater Cats. Outstanding trip and top notch guiding by Donovan. Always kept us in the fish...I figure we pulled in over 700lbs of fish over 12 hrs of fishing. 1st time Catfishing and I’m hooked! definitely recommend; and I’ll be going back!
