Redd’s Southern Striper Guide
Redd’s Southern Striper Guide is located in Cumming and on Lake Sidney Lanier. You’ll enjoy the great laidback southern style of fishing Capt. Darrell has been charting this boat since 2017.
This involves 4-hour trips, mainly fishing for Bass and Striper. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, popping, and spinning.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 22’ Sportsman Master 227 boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers. This boat comes with an ice-box and a wireless trolling motor.
All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included. The boat will be supplied with water and snacks but bring your lunch and drinks.
Book your trip now and hit the water with Redd’s Southern Striper Guide.

Captain Darrell the striper whisperer
Booked Captain Darrell for my son’s 10th birthday fishing adventure, and wow - this guy doesn’t mess around! We went from “Dad, are we there yet?” to “Dad, look at the SIZE of this thing!” faster than you can say “fish on!” The captain had us pulling in stripers so big, my 10-year-old started questioning the laws of physics. “How did THAT fit in the lake, Dad?” Fair question, kiddo. I’m pretty sure one of them was older than our mortgage. The captain’s fish-finding abilities border on supernatural. Either he’s got sonar vision or he’s been bribing the fish with premium bait for years. My son is now convinced he wants to be a “professional fish catcher” when he grows up, and honestly, after seeing this guy work, it seems like a solid career path. Warning: You WILL go home smelling like victory (and fish). Your wife WILL make you shower in the garage. Your kid WILL tell everyone at school that his dad is basically a fishing legend now. Already planning our return trip because apparently we’ve been drafted into the Lake Lanier Striper Extraction Squad. Captain Darrell - you’ve created monsters, and we couldn’t be happier about it! 10/10 would fish again. The stripers have been warned.

Darrel is awesome
Would highly recommend hiring Darrel . Very friendly , professional and refuses to go back without a catch . We stayed on the waters well beyond our time slot , because he insisted that we catch atleast 3 fish . Our biggest catch was 13 pounds . It was our 1st time fishing , and entire family loved the trip. You will be happy that you chose Darrel

AWESOME MORNING ON THE LAKE
We had a great morning on Lake Lanier with Captain Redd. He is a fun guy who really knows the lake and where to find the fish. I was thrilled to catch a 25 pond striper and my son caught one that was around 15 pounds. We caught many other fish of different species. We would 100% recommend Captain Redd to anyone who wants to have a good time and catch some fish.

Captain Darrell is awesome!!
My son and I had a great time with Captain Darrell. He is very knowledgeable about where to fish. Whenever we hooked a fish he was great in letting us know how to fight them and get them in the boat. Definitely going to be calling on him the next time we want to fish on Lake Lanier.
