Captain Slay arrived early and was waiting for me on the dock. Rods and reels were rigged and ready and the bait box was full of quality live bait. We were fishing in about ten minutes with the first catch within minutes after dropping lines. But the big fun came a few minutes later with a 36-inch stripper! Hooked another that got off the hook and then hooked another stripper nearly 37 inches long to limit out on the big ones. We also caught over a half dozen spotted bass.
Great fun! If you’re thinking about fishing Carters Lake, Lake Nottley or Lake Blue Ridge, Captain Len Slay is the guide you want.

Booked last minute trip for my 9yo son and I as some large storms washed out our fly fishing plans. Captain Len was responsive and flexible, even as far as allowing us to push our start from morning to afternoon targeting Stripers on Carter’s Lake. We arrived at the launch and he was ready and waiting with a live well full of shad and herring he caught cast netting early in the AM. We got out on the lake and we’re at our first spot and had lines in the water in 10 mins. His boat is spacious clean and equipped with top tech and tackle. You can tell he really knows the lake and did everything he could to put us on the “big ones” my son wanted. By dusk it was mission accomplished as my son was wiped and we had caught 2 massive 36 in Stripers (a third got off in the net that was just as big) and a few nice Spotted Bass. All in all, it was a great day on a beautiful north GA lake with a top tier guide who was knowledgeable, personable and great with my son. We will definitely book with you again Len again, thanks for a great trip!!!

We had 4 in our group for this summer half day trip with a wide range of experience and he was great with every one. I knew Captain Len really wanted us to catch fish even before we started when he offered to start earlier than advertised to take better advantage of early morning bite. He was ready to go with a full live well of bait.  Doubling up on the bite a few times was pretty fun. Great trip and great memories!

Had an incredibly amazing experience hunting for big Stripers with Captain Len!  He worked very hard to put us on the big ones……and then there was the sound of the drag trying to slow the line!  Wow!!!  Had the best time on Carters Lake!  If you are looking for a guaranteed great fishing experience in the mountains Captain Len is your Guide!

Captain Len knows what he’s doing. Won’t go wrong booking with him. Will repeat.

Slow start to the day but had several fish in the boat before 11am with a couple personal records.

Carters lake is clean and beautiful as well. Lots of wildlife spotted in addition to a great fishing trip. You won’t regret the experience.
