    Extremely Hot 25th Anniversary Fishing Trip with great catches

    Full Day Trip on September 1, 2026 • 2 adults

    We were not picky on what we wanted to catch. We let Josh chose the best possible set up for the very hot day. Hubs caught a good amount of small and large mouth bass and a few striped bass. I caught 2 large mouth bass. The trip was mainly for the hubs. Josh was very knowledgeable and patient. He is very professional and personable. He taught us several new things and got to know us and what we liked. We are looking forward to booking again. Highly recommend booking a trip with Josh.

    Great Trip Chattahookem Fishing!

    Full Day Trip on March 9, 2026 • 1 adult

    If you get the opportunity to fish with Captain Josh and Chattahookem, take it - you’ll be glad you did! Took an 8-hour trip on 3/9 and had a blast. Caught solid numbers of Spotted and Smallmouth. Had a great time trying the different techniques used on Nickajack. The boat and equipment are top notch, too. Boat has a massive front and rear deck from which to fish and rod/reel set-ups are quality gear. Book with confidence, Chattahookem will put you on the fish! 👍🏼

    Full Day Trip on July 29, 2025 • 2 adults

    My lad and I had a wicked time. Josh help me catch the first fish, almost an 18” Smallmouth. Josh, put us on Smallmouth, Large Mouth, and Spotted Bass all day. We traveled 80 miles total, and the boat was amazing. I am thinking of buying one myself. My lad told me he will never forget this trip. He will cherish the memories forever. Thanks again Josh, we will see you soon. Yes, we’re going back for more.

    Josh is by far the best!!!!

    Full Day Trip on March 13, 2025 • 2 adults

    What an amazing day we had on the water. We fished for a full day and caught a ton of quality fish. Most importantly Josh was fantastic. Had we not caught any fish we would have still had a blast just hanging out on the water with him. He was super patient with my fishing partner who is still learning to cast Lol! We will be one of Josh’s recurring customers. I highly recommend Chatahookem.

    Best Father’s Day Gift

    Half Day Trip on August 4, 2025 • 3 adults

    I booked this trip for my husband for Father’s Day along with my son and son-in-law. They were so excited about the booking and Josh did not disappoint. All of them came home raving about the experience they had catching fish, learning from Josh, and boating on the river. Money well spent and worth every penny! We will definitely book with Josh again!

    First time fishing in Tennessee. Josh had wife and I on the fish in a matter of minutes! Caught quite a few different species with some in the 4-5 pound range. Josh is very knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks for the great time! Ray and Yoli.

Don’t miss this incredible guide and experience
Full Day Trip on September 21, 2026 • 1 adult

Josh gave me one of the most wonderful fishing trips I have ever had. He made sure we got on a lot of fish and it was really nice to speak with such a great person. He made me a few comfortable and made sure I had a wonderful time. I cannot recommend him more highly. But please don’t book in October as I plan on coming down next year and don’t want to get a it aced out. I cannot recommend this gentleman more highly and if you book with him, you won’t be sorry.
