Don't take it from me... Read what our customer's have to say about fishing aboard the Patience II.

Chris Kelly

Had another blast fishing with Doug. This time he brought his first mate (and nephew) Dave. Just made the trip that much more enjoyable. Dave, though, turned out to be a pretty good guide himself, as I was expecting him to tie the boat down and direct the trolling motor more than give pointers and keep it fun. I don't know, another 40 fish day and I gotta say I'm comin to expect it. Great fishing.

Took our third trip with Doug on April 7, 2008..Chris and I caught 38 Bass and 1 Clear Lake Golden Marlin over 10 pounds...Doug knows how to find the fish...Can't say enough what a great guy he is...we will be back...

Doug and Lorna Londborg

We went out on 3-28-2008 with Doug, I`ve fished for 50 years, but I`ve never caught Bass like this before,(oh yea, my wife caught the biggest one). Doug took us on a fishing trip of a lifetime. We hope to do this again, Thanks and GET-R-DONE

Sept. 2007 - Mahalo Doug, I had a great time, catching 17 Bass and 1 Catfish in four hours was a blast, this was my first trip to Clearlake and your expertise is what made the trip such a success. Pulling in the five pound Bass and taking 2 of the Bass home to eat was a great way to start my vacation.

June 2007 - Here I go again - a repeat client with another well deserved testimonial. This trip I brought the wife along for a day on Lake Berryessa with Doug on his comfortable boat the Patience II. We had our limits of kokanee in a matter of hours, a ton of great laughs and we were fortunate enough to see the American icon - a living bald eagle - swoop down no more than 40 feet from our boat as it nabbed a fish laying on the surface. What a day. I can't imagine having a better time on the water with a true professional like Doug. Thanks once again and we are looking forward to more trips with you ASAP.

June 2007 - Doug, Dick is still talking about the two days we spent with you at the end of May. He has submitted a photo to the local paper of his 7 pound bass. Dick's health has continued to be a problem but he is still active. I think you gave him the time of his life. Our conversations during the two days added to the pleasant experience.

April 2007 -  A day my 10 year old nephew and 10 year old son will not ever forget. That was their first experience with large mouth bass and I can truly say Doug spoiled them. It will be hard to match. 3 hours on the water and they fished themselves out of bait. The last few fish, Doug and I needed to help them with their poles because their arms where too tired. Doug not only got us to the fish, but gave us some history of the lake and it's inhabitants. I recommend if you want a great time call Doug. I will again.

Chris Kelly

April 2007 - Man, never had more fun CATCHING fish than I did with Doug. He took my father and I out on the lake at 8AM, and by noon we had caught over 20 Bass, and run out of Shiners. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Mike Kelly

April 2007 - Hi Doug, thanks again for making sure Chris and I caught fish last Tuesday. Never thought I would like Bass fishing but you made it really fun! You are fun guy to fish with... Thanks again...

Bruce Jenkins, Santa Rosa, CA

March 2007 - This was my first time fishing with Doug. The experience was GREAT! My girlfriend and I had fun catching big bass. Give Doug a call and I guarantee you'll have a great experience.

Anne & David Vick

The fishing outing Doug took us on was the most fun I've had in a long
time! The boat was so nice. We were very pleased with the
hospitality, equipment and absolute knowlege of our host. Those
Crappie were so fun to catch!

David and I are so very pleased, and will be back next year. Thank you
for taking us out even in the nasty weather. I'm very Happy!!!

The "Perfect" Day of Fishing can and did happen for my son and I!! We
caught between 30 and 40 Largemouth in one day (I didn't think it was
possible to lose count but it happened!. At one point my son pulled in
three bass in a row all healthy fish in the 5 to 6 pound range!! All
thanks to Doug Rader!!

Our trip with Doug turned out to be the best day of fishing we have
ever had on a California Lake and we have spent many a day out there on
our own boats. We have been on guided trips to Alaska and to much of
Baja del Sur as well as many other sites but this guy has it all and
was the very best in many aspects of the guide business.

GET-R-DONE's Doug Crandall is KNOWLEDGEABLE, COURTEOUS, and
INFORMATIVE. He has a very COMFORTABLE BOAT and best of all he is
willing to TEACH AND PASS ON TECHNIQUES.

We may end up being very sorry for writing this glowing testimonial
because we don't want him to be booked all the time but he deserves our
highest praise.

Thanks again - Doug - our "Dad and the Lad" memory will always be a
treasure.
