It was my grandsons birthday and want to fish Toledo Bend. I keep a bay boat up there but I wanted a break from being the captain. Living The Dream Guide is my go to fishing service. Our captain JT was patient, knowledgeable, funny, and a great mentor for young people wanting to learn fishing habits. I enjoyed the fishing trip and a break from fishing my own boat. They clean the fish which was a plus for me. I highly recommend Living The Dream for your next fishing adventure on Toledo Bend. Comfortable pontoon boats with the best electronics to locate the fish.

Although the fishing was somewhat difficult our guide Brandon was fantastic. He never gave up and actually stayed longer than usual. We told him at the end of the day all that mattered was we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. GREAT GUY.

Great time fishing Toledo Bend.
Our guide Michael was a pleasure to fish with. He was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and made the day on the water a day to remember.
The weather was great and we managed to put together a nice box of fish.

Never booked a guide service before but I wanted my 80 year old parents to experience it and have a great time. The fish at this time of the year are scattered and harder to fish, but our captain Jerry put us on some fish and we ended up with a nice catch of 58. It was fun for my husband, myself and my parents.
I would definitely love to go when the fish are abundant .Great people to deal with and are very friendly.

Unlike others who We're in need of guided tours, we were in need of of a rental pontoon boat to spend the day on the lake. We called the day before and were very fortunate that there was availability. The the team at LTD was very helpful, and very thorough. The check in process was very easy, and the boat was in great shape.. We were given a map and very specific instructions on where we could go and enjoy joy some tubing.

The 2 days of fishing for my group was 1st Class. I had fished multiple times with LTD over the years with groups of men and always had a great experience. I decided to bring my wife and another couple to let them experience the fun. This trip Jim and Michael, these guides took the time and patience to help my wife and my buddies’ wife OUT FISH THE MEN. These two guys are first class gentlemen and fishermen. They made sure that the women(and men) would have a great time(Big Fish)(87 day one & 91 day 2).
My group is already looking at a calendar to set up trips for them, their kids, and other friends. As for me I’m booked with Josh June 15 & 16 with my 2 sons and a brother in law. You guys really have a first-class operation.

Awesome trip with Jerry & LTD Crew. Hanna the Deckhand did a great job of helping to keep lines baited & rods back in action after hangups & broken off hooks.
Will be back again and would highly recommend LTD Crew for a fishing trip.

We were up at Toledo Bend to fish a bass tournament and on a whim called up Living the Dream to book an early season Crappie trip. They were very honest and accommodating and set us up with Jim Shandley and his son Michael Shandley. We met them early on the morning of the trip and were soon on the water. They are just great and friendly people. First class equipment, knowledgeable guides who have been fishing at Toledo Bend for many years. We absolutely loved it, and you will to. Book your trip, you wont be sorry. A great big thanks to all at Living the Dream, especially Michael and Jim, we will be back.
