If you’re ready for a personalized fishing experience on Lake Tuscaloosa, we’ve got you covered with Bassn w Buddy. Having logged many hours on these bodies of water, Buddy is a great pick.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Crappie and whatever else thats willing to bite. On these trips, it’s common to use light tackle for all targeted species.  However, heavier gear is usually needed to target bigger largemouth bass.

Your trip begins aboard an 18’ Bass boat with room for 2 passengers. It has all the essentials. Rods, reels, and tackle are included. Live bait such as worms, crickets, and minnows will be included if needed. Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online at Outdoor Alabama under fishing license.

It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. Drinks and light snacks can be stored in the boats cooler. Alcohol and tobacco products are not permitted. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

Your trip with Bassn w Buddy is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Lake Tuscloosa- 6 Hour Trip on March 28, 20252 adults
Buddy was well organized, prepared, very accommodating, and probably the most patient guide I’ve ever had the privilege of fishing with. Buddy is beyond friendly and personable. I can’t imagine anybody would ever find any fault with this captain.
