2 hour lunch trip Lake Wylie on July 7, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

Thanks Captain Jake! My family had been begging for a fishing trip on their recent visit to the Carolinas. Acting on a whim, I reached out to this service owned by Captain Jake Fishing Service. Although it was not the best choice for us regarding the time of day and weather(it was mid day during the heatwave) we all caught fish-which was the point. The trip was a little on the pricey side based on my experience with booking fishing charters, although I have no regrets because we made family memories.

Great birthday trip!

3 hour trip Lake Wylie on October 21, 2025 • 6 adults

We took our son on the 3 hour trip for his 8th birthday with Jake and it was a blast! Jake’s boat was extremely clean and we were thrilled to find out that it had an enclosure with heat! It was only 43 degrees when we headed out so it would have been chilly! He managed my excited 8 and 5 year old boys with ease and we had a great experience! The boys landed lots of crappie, perch, and catfish! Our 5 year old is already requesting this for his birthday in March!

Huge Catfish, Lots of Crappie - Family Friendly & Professional

3/4 Day Trip – Lake Wylie on April 1, 2025 • 4 adults

We had an awesome time fishing Lake Wylie in the Carolinas with Captain Jake! We caught the largest catfish any of us has ever caught, a ton of Crappie and Perch and we had a great time doing it. There was not a dull moment!! I'd recommend Captain Jake to anyone looking for a good time catching a lot of fish! He definitely puts the time in to know where they are. He is also very nice, friendly and professional! He gave our teenagers sons lots of tips for fishing the Carolina inland lakes. Thanks for the awesome day of fishing Jake!!!

Captain Jake made our week!

Half Day Trip – Lake Wylie (PM) on March 22, 2025 • 2 adults • 3 children

My sons were so excited for fishing. Capt Jake was on top of things and was able to communicate with me very easily from the very start of booking the trip. His boat was nice and clean and most importantly he knew the lake like the back of his hand. Was able to get us to the prime fishing spots where we caught a ton like 30 fish in 3.5 hrs. Perch, Crappy, and even a huge catfish. Cant say enough how enjoyable our trip was especially even with my 3, 7, and 9 year olds. Cant wait to repeat another trip soon.
