Book your next trip with AlwaysOnEm LLC and find out what the fishing in Reed Creek is all about. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Donald can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass, and more – with any luck, they’ll make your reel scream. You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. The captain has a strict catch-and-release policy, so any fish you catch will go back into the water.

Your excursion begins aboard a 21’ Bass boat with space for 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

It’s always wise to bring snacks, a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks and light snacks will be available for you. Alcohol is not allowed.
