Jimmy Chad Miller's Guide Service is based in Alexander City, Alabama and offers to take you on a beautiful day of lake fishing. Captain Jimmy Miller has been fishing on Lake Martin for over 30 years and guiding for over 20 years. He runs a handicap-accessible boat and allows all ages to join in on the fun. If you want to catch fish and sightsee beautiful Lake Martin, give Captain Jimmy a shout.

Your adventure will take place on a 22' Aqua Patio pontoon that can safely fit up to 7 anglers. It runs on a 150 HP

engine and uses GPS and fishfinder electronics for efficient navigation on the water. The boat also uses a wireless trolling motor for a more discreet take on the fish, a livewell for keeping live bait, and an ice-box for storing your catch or drinks.

The species you can target on your trip include Spotted Bass, Catfish, and Crappie. To attract them, you can use trolling, spinning, and jigging, all using light tackle. It's up to you whether you'll return your catch back to the water or keep it.

Captain Jimmy covers you for all the fishing tackle, live bait, lures, snacks, drinks, as well as catch cleaning and filleting. The only things left for you to bring before coming aboard are valid fishing licenses.

    grandsons caught lots of fish

    6 Hour Trip on June 29, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Capt was punctual and very friendly. He suggested we fish for crappie and we caught a bunch! The boat is handicapped accessible, snacks and drinks were varied and plentiful. I will recommend Capt Jimmy to anyone/everyone who wants a fishing charter on Lake Martin. The captain provides everything you need to fish and provides knowledgeable instruction for beginners and location-specific tips for experienced anglers.

    Mr. Miller is very knowledgeable and taught me so many tips and tricks

    Full Day Trip on May 5, 2023 • 2 adults

    Before you rent a boat on your own, charter 1 day with Mr. Miller…all you have to do is tell Mr. Miller what kind of fish you want to catch, and he knows where to take you. Mr. Miller and my husband even played this little game with the fish finder…it’s where you watch your bait go in the middle of a ton of fish, and watch the fish take your bait on fish finder…you see the catch even before you feel it. It’s like a little video game. Anyway, we caught about 40 fish! Mr. Miller is a southern gentleman…I never had to bait my own hook
