Striper Bandit Guide Service is located in Morristown, TN and offers to show you a memorable time on beautiful Cherokee Lake in East Tennessee. We work with several area guides and expert fishermen to share feedback and information on fish movement, feeding patterns, and lake conditions.  Our goal is to put you on the fish and provide every opportunity for success. Your captain will do their best to make sure you have an exciting day of fishing. This involves 4 to 6-hour trips, mainly fishing for Striped Bass and Hybrid Striped Bass. Occasionally, we land some nice Catfish as well. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as bottom fishing, trolling, and jigging.

The captain encourages catch and release when possible, however, you’re legally allowed to keep 2 Striper or Hybrid in combination per fisherman. In the hotter months, Striper will likely not survive when released, so it may be necessary to keep them regardless. The fish must be 15” or larger to keep.

If you and the crew are struggling to catch fish and if possible, an extension of the trip may be offered. In that case, the choice to stay longer is yours to make. Your safety being the captain’s top concern, he’ll offer to reschedule for another day in case lightning forces you off the water. If the storm looks to pass quickly, you can wait at the ramp and return to fishing once it’s safe to continue.

Everything you need to fish is included in the price. All you need to bring is your Tennessee State Fishing License and any drinks or snacks you want to take along. If you plan to take any fish home, you’ll need to bring freezer bags, a cooler, and ice to transport it in.

Fish On!!
1/2 Day Trip (a.m.) on April 9, 20264 adults
We had an outstanding experience on Cherokee Lake chasing striped and hybrid bass with Captain Jamie from Striper Bandit. From start to finish, the trip was first-class. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable about the lake and knew exactly where to find the fish—we were on them early, and we landed some impressive stripers and hybrids. Even pulled out a few white Bass and a slob of a small mouth What really stood out was how well everything was run—top-notch gear, a clean and comfortable boat, and a guide who made sure everyone was having a great time, whether you were experienced or brand new to fishing. Beyond just catching fish, we learned a ton about technique, bait, and reading the water. It felt like more than just a charter—it was a full experience. If you’re thinking about booking a fishing trip on Cherokee Lake, don’t hesitate. This was easily one of the best days we’ve had on the water, and we’ll definitely be back.

Captain Rusty, was fantastic….had state of the art equipment, kept us in the hunt and communicated with others to get is into 2 nice fishing spots. We caught 10, kept our limit and released 4. The lake is beautiful and very healthy…..with plenty of feeder fish in every cove. If looking for an adventure, great captain and great fishing experience….look no further!!!

Highlight of the vacation!
1/2 Day Trip (a.m.) on April 2, 20261 adult2 children
I have fished my whole life for fun, competitvely and as a charter service. I have also been fortunate to fish quite a few places across the US and this was one of the best experience to date. The captain and guide was very knowledgeable, had a great boat and great equipment, was as nice as anyone we ever met. Fishing is fiahing, sometime tou catch tbem and sometimes you dont. My son and caught a ton of fish, a lot of quality stripers and made some great memories. Please give this captain a try, you wont be disappointed!

The best ever !
1/2 Day Trip (a.m.) on January 7, 20262 adults
Honestly this was the best fishing trip and the best captain I’ve ever had the privilege to fish with. I can not truly express enough positives! We caught tons of big fish ! My brother and I both caught huge stripers! This is the best part from minute one , Jamie our captain ,talked with us like he had known us forever , from hunting to fishing to jobs, he took us hours longer than we paid for and never once mentioned time . If Tennessee and Cherokee lake is In your plans , You have to fish with Jamie!!

My dad and I booked a half day trip with Jamie. It was the first tour my dad had done and he didn’t stop talking about much fun he had. We caught a ton of fish, had good conversation and had a great time on the water. All accommodations were great. We will be booking with Jamie again.
