GSO Fishing Reviews

Andy Cochran, Owner and Head Fishing Guide, is extremely knowledgeable and an all-around great guide. We highly recommend him to everyone! We could not have asked for a better day of fishing on the water.

We are looking forward to attending the trolling training in mid-August 2024.

Thanks,

The Jones Team

What an incredible day on Blue Mesa!! Our guide Randy was outstanding in every way. His extensive fishing knowledge led us onto the fish right away, must’ve had 25 fish to the boat! He was also an excellent example to my young son, who was out fishing for his birthday. Thank you Randy!

We had a great day with Randy. He kept us on the fish and we caught several of each species. It was a lot of fun. In addition Randy was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer our questions about what lures to use and why. I would recommend GSO and Randy.

Had a great time fishing with Randy while visiting Gunnison. The weather and scenery was great and Randy put me on the fish right away. We caught plenty of nice Brown and Rainbows along with a few salmon. Randy’s extensive experience fishing on the reservoir made for a great 1/2 day trip to remember.

Randy was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and fun to fish with. Caught our limit and had a great time.

What a great trip we took with Andy Cochran. A wonderful morning on the lake! Caught several different species of fish, great knowledge from experiences and a hard working guide! So enjoyed the time with Andy! We'll be getting some trips planned again!

Randy was great very patient and knowledgeable the family had a great time out on Blue Mesa would definitely recommend.

I went out on May 13 with Randy and had another excellent day of fishing. I've fished with Randy several times now and have a great time every time. This time I caught a 30# laker and a few other Lakers and a limit of browns as well.

Took two of our grandsons out for the morning and the smiles say it all. Randy showed enormous patience and was great throughout the morning

My wife and I just finished our second trip with Randy at Blue Mesa and again had a great time. Randy's 20 years of experience on this lake yield results and we plan to return next spring for another trip.

I took my son out for a morning on the water at Blue Mesa and Randy had us on fish immediately and the entire morning. Randy was extremely professional and polite and we really enjoyed the stories about his fishing experience. I highly recommend GSO and we are already planning a trip back next spring.

The hallmark of a professional is that they “make it look easy”…Randy Sandoval is a PRO!
His boat and gear had the well-cared-for glow that a set of tools get when they are used to getting the job done well…just walking down the dock, my confidence that the day was going to be successful grew.
The ease with which he got us out on the water and 4 lines trolling behind us, while answering all our questions and preparing us for the task ahead of us was masterful.
We got our first fish on within 10 minutes, and my daughter was beaming at her success!
The next couple of hours was awesome with stretches of patient fishing, interspersed with moments of excitement reeling in fish (some of which threw the hook) and we filled our limit with beautiful, good-eating sized fish!
Highly recommend Randy as an excellent Guide and a friendly, personable person!
We are looking forward to our next trip!

Randy was awesome to work with!

My wife and I were on vacation in Ouray, CO but really wanted to do some good fishing where we would take home some good eating.
I was inquiring online and found GSO. It was a shot in the dark because it was only a few days notice, but was referred to Randy. He called me back saying he could do the upcoming Saturday.

He was 100% ready to go at 6am. Within 15 minutes we had bites and the first few got away. But by 630 my wife caught a beautiful rainbow!!!
By 9am we had our limit, cleaned fish and were in our vehicle heading out of the parking lot. We couldn’t believe how well the morning went! What a great time!

I’ve already referred Randy to several friends who now have some interest! Hopefully they’ll make the call.

Thank you Randy!
Your time was very much appreciated!!!

Our guide Randy warned us it would be a slow day, then we proceeded to land over 25 fish out of the 35+ we hooked. All in 4 hours. We've been fishing Blue Mesa for a number years and our trip with Randy out performed our best days ever. He is great guide and took the time to teach how to do it properly. Depth, speed, and color...lots of fine tuning until you find the sweet spot. Enjoyable day, we will become repeat customers.

Thanks Randy for giving us a great day of fishing! You clearly are an expert in fishing Blue Mesa - we caught way more fish than we had expected, and thoroughly enjoyed our time with you. Looking forward to doing it again soon!

Thanks Randy for sharing your knowledge and for your patience with the whole family. We had a great morning with you on the water, with lots of action.

Everything was simple, just show up and fish. First time on a guided fishing trip. Randy did an excellent job. All ready planning a second trip!

We had two great days on Blue Mesa. Caught our limits & released a ton of fish. Randy is a Pro. I really enjoyed having a trip with my wife that she totally enjoyed. I'm sure we'll do it again

Thanks to Randy we had a a great morning of fishing.
We caught our limit!
He was so helpful and fun!
Thank you!

Two grandsons had time of their life. Constant action and conversation. Really appreciated Randy’s patience and answering all their questions.

We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing trip with GSO Fishing! My daughter had an awesome time celebrating her birthday and the rest of my family was just as pumped! Randy did an awesome job of guiding and preparing everything to ensure a successful day fishing.

Randy is excellent at guiding. We booked this trip not knowing what to expect. We were thrilled to catch almost 50 fish including several large brown trout. Book this trip!!!!!

My family has been fishing with Randy a few times over the years. He always gets us on fish and is great to interact with. This time the kids reeled in a limit of rainbows and browns with a few lake trout and a Kokanee in the mix. Cannot recommend more.

Great time on Blue Mesa fishing with Randy. My daughter and I met Randy @ 6:00 and caught our first fish at 6:05! We caught fish all day and Randy took care of everything. Great dude and worked hard all day to keep the fish biting.

Had a great time fishing with GSO guide Randy Sandoval professional service . I would recommend him to my friends!
