Water Bugz Fishing Guide Service offers guided fishing trips on Lake Norman year-round with either half or full-day trips. Guide Jeff Tomlin has been fishing Lake Norman for over 40 years. His knowledge of the lake, how the fish behave and his passion to make every trip a great memory for each trip sets him above the rest. 

The 24' Seaark Procat 240 offers plenty of room for 5 passengers and the fish you're going to catch. The walk-thru windshield provides a comfortable ride as you seek out the fish. The boat is also furnished with a Bimini top as added comfort for the occasional rain or on those hot sunny days.

Water Bugz Guide Service's Seaark is equipped with spinning rod combos, Hummingbird Helix 12' screen, 24 volt Minn Kota Trolling Motor, and is powered by 4 Stroke 200 HP Suzuki. Fishing trips are family-friendly while providing you with the excitement of catching Hybrid Bass, Spotted Bass, Largemouth Bass, White Perch, and Catfish. We use live bait and fish mostly with light tackle spinning rods, providing a lot of fun as you tackle the fish.

Their goal is to supply you with the gear that makes fishing an exciting experience. Jeff will be able to read your ability and make adjustments for any level of ability whether beginner or avid fisherman. So bring your A-game, but don't worry, beginners sometimes turn out to be pros by mid-trip.

Water Bugz Fishing Guide Service is dedicated to providing every trip with high-quality performance and outstanding customer service.

One of the best charters we’ve ever taken
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 23, 20252 adults1 child
This was seriously one of the top charters our family has taken. Captain Jeff put us on the fish and we caught a ton of spotted bass and catfish. We also highly recommend this charter for families with kids that love to fish - Jeff was great with our almost 12 year old who is fishing obsessed.
