Here are some gracious endorsements my clients have given me:
Subject: Thank you...
Good afternoon Louie!
I just wanted to say thank you for showing the men in my life, (son, grandson, and husband), Stephen, Christian, and Joe, such a wonderful day of fishing! It was an exhilarating experience that they will remember and look back on for the rest of their lives. It only enhanced the trip with the fact that Christian caught that huge Striper!
We have been e-mailing your web site to our friends and family, so they can share in this happy occasion. Hopefully, this e-mail gets to you alright because I did not see a direct e-mail link to you on your web site. Thank you again for showing my family such a good time.
Blessings,
Robin Grimsley

OK guys! If you want to catch the biggest spotted bass of your life, call the man and go! We fished Saturday, and I promise you we had 10 fish at or over 4 pounds. I also got to see and hold a 6.99 pound spot (see below). It's big fish time, so go fish.
Thanks LB for a memorable trip and I'll be back soon!

Subject: Carters Lake Georgia
All,
I just wanted to let you know about a trip Dave R. and I took over to Georgia a month ago. One night I was watching "Reel in the Outdoors" with Joe Thomas and he was visiting Carters Lake in Georgia. They mentioned many times about it being the best spotted bass lake in the country. As usual, I didn't believe the hype that goes with this statement so I started to do a little research. After some research and reading some Georgia fishing forums, it appeared that this lake has big spots.
As with all the shows, he provides the guides name and how to get a hold of them so I contacted Louie Bartenfield (LB). LB is the only guide on the lake and he knows it like the back of his hand. We had a tremendous time catching allot of fish and learning some new aspects on tuning your depth finders. As you can see from the attached picture, Dave and I did get the trophy spots we were after, both over five pounds. They hit like a mule train and fought all the way to the boat. Best fighting fish I have ever caught in freshwater. If you decide to go, you will not be disappointed.
Attached below is his website and contact information. Dave and I had such a good time we are going back this weekend and again in December. Awesome time with a new friend.

I have really enjoyed my several trips with Louie. He has an excellent knowledge of seasonal patterns and his equipment is top notch.
He is always willing to go early and stay late to be sure you have a great trip. Looking forward to my next one.

I've been fortunate to have fished all over North America and have fished with many fine guides. Louie is the best of the best.Louie makes every trip easy and enjoyable. My wife Angela and I have taken many trips with Louie and had a blast on every one.We've had 100+ fish days on Chickamauga and caught giant spots, big hybrids and monster stripers on Carters.Louie is great with setting up and teaching all the new marine electronics. He set up my boat with new Hummingbird electronics and made them easy to understand.Any time of year if you want to have a great day on the water and catch fish Louie is the guide to call.
