Life's Revenge Guide Service

Trips customized for anglers of all ages and experience 

Freshwater Fishing Trips

Freshwater fishing in the Lower James River provides opportunities for many species and many styles of fishing.  Life's Revenge Guide Service specializes in fishing for the James River's world-renowned blue catfish.  This fishery continues to improve - it's no longer a matter of "if" the James will produce a 100 lb blue catfish, but "when" will the James produce a 100 lb fish.  Will YOU be the one who catches it?

Freshwater Rates:  Full-day $350; Half-day $190

One of the underappreciated events on the James River is the annual spring Hickory and American shad migration.  Life's Revenge is one of the few guide services that offers discounted rates for shad fishing and, new for 2008, is offering Lunch Hour Shad Fishing Trips in Downtown Richmond!

Shad Fishing Rates:  Full-day $220 (7-hr); Half-day $120 (4-hr)

(Rates include all bait and tackle for up to 4 anglers.  Bring your favorite beverages and snacks.  Always drink responsibly!  Ask about our 10% discount for senior citizens, active military, and veterans.)
