Lauren Jara5.0VerifiedBest Bday fishing ever!
6 Hour Catfish Trip on April 24, 2026 • 2 adultsJust wrapped up an incredible day fishing with Captain Ryan on Old Hickory Lake and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better birthday experience 🎣 Captain Ryan was amazing — super knowledgeable, knew exactly where to go, and had us on some seriously good-sized catfish. You can tell he really knows these waters and loves what he does. Everything was easy, fun, and just a great vibe from start to finish. Hands down the best birthday fishing trip ever. If you’re in the Nashville area and thinking about going out, this is 100% the guy to book with.
Ken Black5.0VerifiedCaptain Ryan put us on the fish
4 hour Catfish Trips on July 1, 2026 • 3 adultsFor what was an unusually hot week in Nashville with excessive heat warnings, we still managed to pull in 10 catfish, including 5 blues that were over 20 pounds. Captain Ryan was extremely knowledgeable, answering all of our questions and then some. I would 100% recommend this charter and will be a repeat customer myself. My boys and I had a blast.

6 Hour PM Trip 1:30-7:30pm Catfish on December 20, 2025 • 3 adultsI had a friends Son fly in from the West Coast and he wanted to fish. I booked with Ryan and am so greatful I did. We landed an 18 pound Blue Cat in the first hour and then proceded to catch a 24,26,38 and a 43 along with a few 15-20’s during the 6 hour trip. Ryan is awesome! We enjoyed great conversation, laughter and explosive fishing. cant wait to go again!

had a blast! thanks for coming out and Happy Birthday!
We got spun around finding the launch ramp, but Capt. Ryan drove by boat to pick us up at the launch ramp we were closest to. We boarded the boat and proceeded to catch catfish well into the evening, even catching the biggest fish of the night on the last cast. Capt. Ryan was very professional and knowledgeable of the local fishing and we were pleased with the service on this trip. I would definitely recommend the Nashville Kats experience to all.

Trip was great fun. Trolled for catfish, caught channel and blue catfish, including a 35 lb. blue (yes, we weighed it to get an accurate weight, no exaggerated fish stories here). Captain was professional with an easy-going demeanor. The boat and tackle were in excellent condition. Would absolutely go out with this Captain again, and recommend this charter to others.
