Meet Guide Bobby Winters
Meet Your Expert Guide, Bobby Winters, from Bob's Guide Service Encore
Bob's Guide Service Encore is a cherished family-run business that has been passed down through the generations, showcasing a rich legacy in the fishing community. Captain Bobby Winters inherited the business from his father, Captain Bob Winters, who founded it back in 1973. Since its inception, the business has grown to become one of the most reputable fishing guides in the Santee Cooper region of South Carolina. The Winters family's dedication to the craft and their deep-rooted knowledge of the lakes have made Bob's Guide Service Encore a trusted name among fishing enthusiasts.
Having spent many years fishing alongside his father, Bobby decided to step into the role of lead charter operator in March 2018. After obtaining his official captain's license, he took over the daily operations of the business, continuing the legacy while also making his mark. Under his leadership, the charter service has thrived, with Captain Bobby participating in numerous fishing tournaments and establishing himself as an expert in catching large and challenging fish. One of his notable achievements occurred in early 2019, when he landed a remarkable 60 lb Catfish, a testament to his skill and dedication that remains a highlight of his fishing career.
In addition to his extensive experience as an angler, Captain Bobby is committed to providing exceptional customer service, ensuring that every guest enjoys a memorable and satisfying fishing experience. His expertise is complemented by the use of the Bentley Tritoon, a versatile pontoon boat originally built in 2006 and known for its spacious and reliable performance. At 25 feet long, the Tritoon comfortably accommodates up to six passengers, making it an excellent choice for family outings or group trips. The boat is powered by a robust 115 HP Yamaha engine, allowing for smooth navigation through various water conditions and providing ample speed to reach the best fishing spots efficiently. Whether exploring new areas or simply enjoying a leisurely cruise on the lake, the Bentley Tritoon is designed to enhance your fishing adventure with comfort and reliability.
