Fred is a great guide and very knowledgeable about not only Rend Lake but the surrounding area’s lakes. He is very personable and experienced. You can’t go wrong with Full Moon Fishing Service.

My wife and I chartered a morning outing, and everything was fine.  We caught several good sized Crappie, more than I expected considering that it is the middle of July.  We then fished for some catfish just for fun, releasing all of them back.    Fred Mooney is certainly an experienced guide who we will use again when we are fishing in Southern Illinois.  I highly recommend him.

The guys had a great time, even being their first time fishing for crappie! Fred had a camera below the boat to assist with the location of the crappie, making it even more exciting for my 11 year old son! They kept about 23 fish, which Fred filleted and bagged up for them to take home. All I heard was excitement for booking a future trip during a better time of year! Definitely would recommend Full Moon!

We went on a four hour trip that was on time and ready to go. It took us a little while to find the fish but when we found them we had a great time and we really caught some big fish.

Captain Fred Is a very experienced fisherman he took good care of us .The weather wasn’t good,but we still caught plenty of fish. We will use him again.
