If you’re ready to enjoy fishing in Lake Somerville, book a trip with TM Guide Service. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Tony is prepared to put you on fish.

These waters are known for Crappie, White Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, and more. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Feel free to take home any fish you catch, so long as it’s legal. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home and throw it right into the pan. How’s that for fresh seafood?

Your vessel for the day is a 20’ Pontoon that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with a fighting chair and everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself. You’ll need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish and make the most of your trip. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10%–20% gratuity is customary and much appreciated. This is a family-friendly charter, and kids are welcome aboard. Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. Also, remember to bring snacks and drinks for the journey.

Book your trip and hit the water with TM Guide Service!

You won’t be sorry if you book! Myself, son-in-law, and grandson went and we caught a ton of fish. We certainly was not disappointed.
