Electric City Fishing Charters is located in Anderson, SC. Captain Roth is the business owner and has been a licensed USCG boat captain and running fishing charters for the last 8 years and was born and raised on Lake Hartwell. With lots of experience and a friendly attitude, he can easily turn any beginner into a successful angler. You will be joining Captain Roth Mathews, Captain Tim Prosser, or Captain Jason Gibson on the trip. Regardless of your skill level – you're going to upgrade them anyway with whatever Captain takes you out!

You'll be fishing on a 21' Sportsman center console that accommodates up to 4 guests. She's powered by a 150 HP Yamaha engine and a wireless trolling motor. The boat also features modern navigational electronics, a live bait tank, and a cooler. Simple and functional, this boat has everything you need for a successful day on the water.

Choose your trip depending on how long you want to stay on the water. You and the captain will target Bass species such as Largemouth and Spotted Bass. You won't specifically target Hybrid/Striper but there is a chance you'll catch them as well. You'll use light tackle spinning gear. If you prefer bait casters, you may bring your own rods/reels. All trips offered are artificial baits/lures only, no live bait.

The captain covers your rods, reels, lures, and tackle. You'll need to prepare your fishing license before the trip starts and pack some snacks and drinks. Customers are allowed to keep their catch, or catch and release. However, the captain does not clean the fish after the trip.

Find out why Bass is the most popular freshwater fish in the US. Electric City Fishing Charters is ready to take you on this adventure!

    It Was Hotter than the Hinges of Hell

    Morning SPECIAL (Monday-Sunday) on July 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Roth is very observant of his clients, he understands there desires to be on the lake and the opportunity to fish. Being new to the area and fishing mostly cold water lakes in high mountains and salt water off the west coast, I wanted my first trip to be with someone that could show me the ropes. My trip was scheduled in one of the worst heat waves and not the best of timing on my part. Roth didn't once try to talk me out of it or tell me anything negative about my timing. He simply stated the facts that it may be a slow day because of the feat, but he would find us the fish. And he did. Wasn't the most fish ever caught, but we caught fish. At the end of the trip I felt it was one of the best trips I had been on. He offered to take me out in the fall and make it and even better trip. I am defiantly taking him up on that.

    Summer fishing can be rough but the energy on the boat…game on!

    Morning SPECIAL (Monday-Sunday) on August 8, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had the privilege of hanging out with Mr. Jason this morning. Husband, wife, teenage son, and feral 6 year old aboard this morning with the Capt. We covered a lot of lake, had fun with different types of bait, and received so much kindness from Jason. He had so much patience with our little. He answered many questions. And helped us reel in a couple bass! We had plenty of fun with great company!

    Capt. Tim was an amazing guide who put us on a bunch of bass. He was very helpful with setting us up with gear and explaining what to do with our baits. We caught more then we were expecting and had an imcredible time.

Myself my wife and two kids really enjoyed the 1/2 day trip. We caught enough fish to keep us entertained for the duration. Roth was incredibly patient with kids and did a great job. I would recommend the trip.

Great family trip with Capt Roth
Afternoon SPECIAL (Monday-Sunday) on March 31, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

We did an afternoon family trip with Capt Roth and had a great time. He was responsive during booking and leading up to the trip. He was professional and courteous and great with our two boys. We all caught fish multiple times and I lost track of the overall count after 15 or so. I wouldnt hesitate to book another trip with him and would recommend him to others.

Reported catch:
Spotted Bass
