If you plan on fishing in Lenoir City, look no further than Cody Daniels Guide Service.
Around here fishing is popular for Striped Bass, Muskellunge (Musky), and more if conditions allow. You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Cody also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.
Capt. Cody welcomes children aboard, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!
You’ll be welcome aboard a 24’ Xpress bay boat that holds up to 5 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
It’s recommended to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Full Day Trip – Muskie on July 16, 2025
We split the day into two 4 hour trips. Caught a ton of fish. Nice big stripe bass, some nice large mouth. Personal best on smallmouth. And a ton of drum

Half Day Trip – Striper on July 11, 2024
I would highly recommend captain Cody! We charted a 1/2 day Striper trip and although the bite was slow, he still put us on fish. My boys just weren’t able to get any in the boat. It wasn’t due to a lack of effort by Cody by any means! Cody went all out to get us a fish in the boat! No fault of Cody, my boys were just having some bad luck. I think they may have lost about six fish. Although , they did enjoy fighting the fish up until losing them and my youngest son caught a nice smallmouth.Cody’s boat and equipment are top notch and this trip was overall an awesome experience! We will definitely be back! Greg Guardiola

Cody is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He’ll put you on fish but you still have to catch them. Will book him again and again. Highly recommend.
