We just spent a beautiful day on Lake Berryessa with Zach. He's everything you want in a guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge and experience with you. He knows how to get fish on the boat. He was also really helpful and patient with my 9 year old son. We were able to hit lots of different spots, catching big bass and rainbows. Highly recommended!

I've gone with a few guides on different lakes and I have had the best experience with Zach by far! Along with catching the biggest bag of my life, I have learned a TON over the last few days. Zach is super personable, very attentive to what's going on and happy to explain whats he's thinking. He even handed me HIGH END rod/reel combos - lIke, seriously, the good stuff. If you want to learn bass fishing or just get out and whack em for a day, Zach is your guy.

So last week or sometime I went out on a guided trip. Had been roughly 7-8 months that I had been on the water due to work and life. But have been following Zachariah Ploeger on social media and booked him for a trip and all im going to say is EPIC DAY. Not only did I catch my PB (7.16) but the way it happened was nuts. Throwing a frog first cast into the duckweed I stuck a 6.12 and that pumped me up. The very next cast I stuck the 7.16 back to back cast I was mind blown. Later In the day caught some 3-5 pound range fish it was a guide trip I won't forget. So if anyone out there is looking for a trip look this guy up cool dude loves to talk about fishing and will put you on some biggens

I can't speak highly enough about Zach and his abilities as a guide, after the amount of fun and success my eight-year-old son and I had with him on Clear Lake this past week. Zach was not only incredibly knowledgeable about Clear Lake, as he immediately put us on the fish, with the perfect lures and techniques to start landing bass; but he was remarkably helpful and patient with my son. He taught him casting and retrieve techniques, and worked with him throughout the morning, producing immediate results (my son actually out-fished me in the end, and I couldn't be happier). I absolutely plan on reserving another day with Zach on either Clear Lake or the Delta as soon as the Mrs gives me another day pass on the water.

My buddy and I just took our first guided trip with Zach last weekend on Clearlake. He worked hard to get us in front of fish, was super informative and kept trying other stuff on the side to see what they were chewin on. He ran us up and down that lake so we could really experience its different areas. He's got a lot of experience and would no doubt make you feel safe bringing your kids out too. It was an absolutely awesome time, Zach is the man don't hesitate to book him.
