J.D. Richey Sportfishing takes great pride in providing the best service in the industry and it is our goal to make your visit with us more than simply a fishing trip – think of it more as a mini vacation and day-long adventure.

Our fleet features clean, safe and modern boats custom-tailored to our fishing styles. The 20-foot Willie driftboat will hold up to 4 anglers and the 20-foot Smoker jet sled can fish up to 5 people. The 22-foot Ranger bass boat also can carry loads of 4 anglers.

Equipment
We are affiliated with the best names in the fishing tackle industry, so you'll always fish with high grade, well-maintained gear. We're on the GLoomis, Shimano, Pautzke's and Sep's Pro Staffs.

A week prior to the trip, we will contact you and give you detailed directions to the meeting location and what time to be there.
