Flathead Catfishing & Striped Bass Charters in Lake Havasu

Captain & Guide

Flathead Catfish

Flathead Catfish

Capt. Kenne is a true native of the Colorado River and Lake Havasu, born and raised on these legendary waters. With a deep-rooted connection to the river lifestyle, his journey began early — his very first job was as a deckhand for local fishing guide legend, Capt. Doyel. Under Doyel’s mentorship, Kenne learned the art of guiding, boat handling, and reading the river like a seasoned pro.


That early foundation launched a lifelong passion for fishing and adventure, eventually leading him to the wild waters of Alaska. There, he worked as a professional fishing guide and deckhand in Ninilchik, navigating the rugged coastline and targeting halibut, salmon, and other prized species. The experience sharpened his skills and reinforced his commitment to safety, professionalism, and exceptional customer service.


Today, Capt. Kenne holds a 25 Ton USCG Master Captain’s License and is a licensed fishing guide on Lake Havasu. Whether you're looking for a relaxing day on the water, a guided fishing trip, or a private charter experience, Capt. Kenne brings unmatched local knowledge, experience, and passion to every trip — ensuring your time on the water is safe, memorable, and a whole lot of fun.

Lake Havasu is home to some of the best redear sunfish fishing in the Southwest—and it’s not just local hype. Known as “shellcrackers,” these powerful panfish thrive in the lake’s clear water and rocky structure, and Lake Havasu is famously where the world-record redear sunfish was caught. Spring and early summer bring peak action as redear move shallow to spawn, making for consistent bites and excellent table fare. It’s a perfect opportunity for both serious anglers and families looking for a fun, memorable day on the water.
