Platinum Fishing Guides Customer Reviews

My 7-year-old and I had an awesome time out on the water. If we're ever back in Chattanooga, we’ll definitely be booking with him again. 10/10 recommend!

Captain Ricky took my 10 year old son and I on a father son trip that we will remember for a lifetime. He has the best equipment on his boat that takes out any guess work on where the best places to fish were. He was patient with my son and didn't mind I broke the line 3 time try...

Awesome trip from start to finish! Ricky was easy to communicate with, showed up on time, and was a great guide to fish with. Most importantly—he put us on the fish! We landed 35 Largemouth in just half a day. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Rick is awesome! Besides his tips and advice, he has patience with less experienced anglers. He knows the area/fishing so well and can tell you all about it. 10/10 recommendation!

My son and I had an amazing time! Ricky knew exactly where the fish were and what techniques to use to get them biting. I’d recommend him to anyone—from beginners to experienced anglers. We landed over 30 bass in just four hours!

Ricky was top-notch from start to finish—professional, knowledgeable, and put us right on the fish. He shared helpful tips throughout the trip and made the whole experience enjoyable. I’d hop on a boat with Captain Ricky any time!

Ricky is a top notch fisherman and an ever better person !! You won’t find better on the TN River !

Captain Rick put us on the crappie slabs all day! We did a full day guide and was wishing we had bought two days! It was a pleasure actually catching fish not riding around. We learned a few things from him to know going forward and a lot of laughs! I highly recommend Ol Captain ...

I have had the pleasure of fishing with Rick for many years. Very knowledgeable about how to use graphs and what baits for different times of the year. I have crappie fished and caught limits almost every time. I have also caught my personal best Bass at 9.5 pounds. He is very pr...

Had a great time with Capt. Rick Murphy. Learned a ton and had a lot of laughs. Can’t wait to do it again. We may have to schedule a fall trip and get of them frogs. Thank you Captain for the wonderful day.
