Heron Outdoor Adventures
+9Ready to cast a line in some of North Georgia’s finest fishing spots? Look no further than Heron Outdoor Adventures! Having logged many hours on these waters, Captains Joseph and Mike know them forwards and back.
You’re likely to fish for Striped Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Spotted Bass, Crappie, Garfish, White Bass, and more, depending on when you go.
On these trips, you can expect to troll using light tackle. The crew also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
You’ll be casting lines from a custom 23’ Silver Wave Tritoon that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. What’s more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible.
You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included.
You might need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat and sunglasses. Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Greatest Adventure!
4 Hour Trip on August 30, 2024
Captain Joseph took me out on a last minute fishing adventure as I had always wanted to catch a striped bass and thought to have the opportunity while I was visiting the area. I was able to catch three unique species I had never caught before, including my first striped bass, hybrid striped bass and spotted bass! The boat was crisp and clean, had top of the line fishing gear and electronics and the captain was a great conversationalist and taught me a few tricks along the way. Highly recommended for anyone in the area.
