Spend the day with Rend Lake Fishing Trips and find out what the fishing in Whittington is about! With Captain Jason at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Largemouth Bass, Catfish, Crappie, Flathead, and anything else that bites. On the day of your trip, you’re likely to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

You’ll be fishing aboard a 20’ Triton bass boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Rend Lake Fishing Trips will make it easy for you to go fishing in Whittington. So, how about booking that trip?

Mafia Rods is great! Not only are the rods optimized for vertical jiggin, the crew is knowledgeable and finds great spots. We had a good catch. This is our third time with Mafia Rods and we will be back. Thanks Jason and Cody!

4 Hour Trip – Crappie (PM) on October 13, 2024

Very helpful and informative guide…baited the lines, took fish off hook and put in live well, gave good answers to all our questions and had a great personality. We caught a nice mess of fish in just 4 hours and had fun doing it.
