Tennessee River Adventures Inc.
Chattanooga has a fish with your name on it, so let Tennessee River Adventures help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Aaron, offering years of angling experience.
These waters are known for Catfish, White Bass, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. You'll target your catch by spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. You're free to keep some of the fish you catch, assuming they meet regulations.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
You'll be casting lines from a 24' SeaArk bay boat with a capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Aaron will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.
You will 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. You can't go wrong when you bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Tennessee River Adventures will make it easy for you to go fishing in Chattanooga. So, how about booking that trip?

Georgia, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedA wonderful trip for our 37th anniversary
8 Hour Trip on September 15, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Aaron is a wonderful guide and Captain. He has very good knowledge of the river. We targeted big catfish and it wasn't long after we were on the water that we hooked up on fish. We both caught our biggest fish ever, with my wife reeling in a 34 lb blue cat. Smallest was probably 14-15 lbs. We missed several others. We would highly recommend a trip with Tennessee River Adventures
Nicholas ChristiansenRepeat angler•Virginia, US•Member since 20242 trips5.0VerifiedFun & time we needed for the family outing!
6 Hour Trip on June 24, 2024 • 3 adultsFor years my dad and I always wanted to fish together but being separated by state lines it’s hard to do. For my birthday my dad booked a trip with Aaron and we dragged my mom out (first time fishing for her). Caught LOTS OF CAT FISH! And the mom first timer got the biggest one! Over 20 pound MONSTER!!! Loved the trip loved the captain, definitely took business cards to recommend him to our family and friends! Thank you so much Aaron!

6 Hour Trip on July 1, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Aaron was awesome! He made sure about 4 - 5 poles were baited and in the water. His knowledge of the area was beneficial to us catching what we did. He provided drinks and had a pair of binoculars! When we come back to the area we will definitely book a trip with him again!
Dale ClarkRepeat angler•Florida, US•Member since 20248 trips5.0VerifiedNothing but fun...and fish!
6 Hour Trip on September 12, 2024 • 2 adultsMy wife and I loved our fishing (catching) trip. We caught a boatload of catfish, the smallest of which was 21 pounds. Our Captain, Aaron Massey, was the sole reason for our remarkable adventure. He was highly skilled, professional, polite, and just plain fun to be around. We will be seeing him again--soon. So, if you're looking for a superb experience, don't hesitate to call this catfishing wizard.

12 Hour Trip – Marathon on November 3, 2023Great 12hr fishing trip for big blue catfish and we was on the fish! Hooked up on several nice fish throughout the trip. Trip was definitely a 10 out of 10 Captain Aaron was prepared to fish when I arrived. He is very enjoyable to be around and full of knowledge. He had to work hard to keep us on fish the entire trip, having to change tactics multiple times throughout the day. He was always on top of the game and never quit. Awesome captain if you are looking to chase catfish in Chattanooga, TN
David Massengill•North Carolina, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedGreat fishing trip
6 Hour Trip on April 28, 2025 • 2 adultsMr.Aaron was just what you want in a fishing guide, flexible in tactics until you find what the fish are wanting then tight lines and bent rods !!
Angela Taylor•Tennessee, USMember since 20235.0If you like boredom this trip isn't for you!!
6 Hour Trip on September 28, 2023However, if you're looking to enjoy great company and beautiful environment while catching monster bottom dwelling beasts then this is the trip for you! Aaron is knowledgeable, friendly and easy to get along with. It felt like fishing with an old friend! Not to mention that we caught 17 trophy catfish in half a day! You can't beat that! It was peaceful, serene and heart pounding excitement! If you want to catch some river monsters, book this trip!!

we had a great day catching catfish with Captain Aaron! would definitely recommend!
The charter operator canceled 3 days prior to the trip date. This is an automated posting.
I was a little nervous when we booked if this would be a scam. Aaron reached out to me right away and made sure I knew there was a real person on the other end with good intentions. We chatted back and forth about what we were looking for. My mind was put to ease. While we were on our way from Canada to Tennessee, he called to touch base. To have a real phone conversation seems rare these days. He then texted the day before to reconfirm directions. Super pleased with the level of communication. While on the boat, Aaron was pleasant and easy to interact with us. His hospitality was excellent and he made it clear it was our trip and we could spend it as we chose. Thanks for the great experience in Tennessee Aaron!
