Southern Fried Charters – Astor
Experience the Southern hospitality and see what makes the people in the area spend so much time on the water. Southern Fried Charters invites you to a day of freshwater fishing from Astor. The captain starts these adventures from different locations, so get in touch and find out how you can customize your trip.
You’ll be fishing on a 20’ Sundance boat that accommodates up to 5 guests. This skiff is a perfect vessel for these waters, as it offers a stable and safe ride. And to make sure you reach your spot in no time, there’s a 90 HP Honda engine. The boat features safety gear, navigational electronics, a cooler, and a wide selection of professional rods, reels, and lures.
Spend the day targeting Largemouth Bass and Crappie using different kinds of fishing techniques, such as jigging, spinning, trolling, drift fishing, and more. You get to keep smaller sized specimens, so make sure to fill out those buckets. These fish are fun to catch and make an excellent table fare.
All fishing equipment is included in the price, as well as bottled water. Feel free to bring other beverages and food for the day, just don’t forget to purchase a freshwater fishing license. It’s recommended to bring hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen as well.
The trips with Southern Fried Charters are available year round. Join any time you want!

Good time on the water.
In the face of a full moon along with a flooded river captain Chris kept at it until he found fish. As an avid fisherman myself I knew the conditions we had to deal with would mean finding feeding fish would be a challenge, Chris kept moving until we found them.

Fantastic Day!
We took the grandkids on the boat with Captain Chris. They had never been on a boat or fished before. Captain Chris taught them everything they needed to know. The boy caught a huge large mouth bass within 5 minutes of casting. And from then on, we were off and running catching fish right and left. The kids had a ball. Captain Chris was kind, patient, a wonderful teacher, and gifted conversationalist. He made the day fun. We created a lot of memories today. Thank you, Captain Chris.

Half day adventure with Captain Chris
I booked with Chris and am glad we did. He knew the water and where to fish for results. He was prompt and got back to me right away... unlike others I contacted. We met on time and headed right out. Had a beautiful half day on the water. Captain Chris's knowledge about how to fish for these particular bass proved out...he knows his stuff! So you can count on him. I would add that honestly there was one disappointment....the price quoted should match what you pay and I shouldn't have been told that the bait was an additional 100 bucks as we were getting off the boat. Not a deal breaker but it would have been nice to know that up front. Still I recommend the charter.
