Markybob Catfishing 

Quality Catfishing with Markybob Catfishing on Watts Bar. With 25+ years of Catfishing for Blue, Flathead, and Channel Cats, Captain Mark can put you on Catfish. Multiple Launch locations are available.  Contact Capt. Mark for the launch location that best fits you. Watts Bar (Rockwood, Kingston, Spring City, Ten Mile), Watts Bar Tailwaters, are among the available launch locations.

You can expect to target Blue Catfish and Flathead Catfish, some of which can be near 50 lbs. or more. There are special excursions also available to catch/keep Skipjack Herring and White Bass depending on the time of year. See available trips to learn about these very special excursions.

You can expect fishing with heavy tackle using various Tennessee River tactics (Dragging/Planer Board, Drifting, Suspending, Bumping, Float Rigging, and Bottom Rigging).

Get the whole family outdoors! Kids are absolutely welcome! Child-sized life vests are available, but you can bring your own.

You’ll be fishing from a large, comfortable 24’ Lowe Pontoon modified for Catfishing, Modern Electronics, GPS Trolling Motor, and a comfortable capacity for 4 passengers (4 adults or 3 adults and 2 children). Can take more but the boat tends to get crowded with more than 4. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. This vessel is wheelchair accessible and has a bimini top for rain and sun protection as needed. Capt. Mark has rods and reels for you, along with all of the necessary tackle.

You must purchase or possess a valid Tennessee license before the trip. This information is available online at GoTennesseeOutdoors or ask for assistance.  Please possess a license in advance of the trip. A few items to bring: sunglasses, sunblock, drinks and a hat.  Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.  Sorry, Captain Mark does not clean fish, but you can keep fish.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Markybob Catfishing
