If you're ready to get hooked on fishing, look no further than Striper Slayers. Being US Coast Guard certified captains, and logging many hours on the water, Captains Brandon and Fred know them forwards and back.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Striped Bass, Walleye, Hybrid Striped Bass, and anything else that bites.  Any fish that meets regulations will be filleted for you if you choose.

You can expect to do some trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area like umbrella rigging.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks – luckily, the Captains will have some on board!

Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is used at certain times of the year, but it will be onboard as well.

Before coming aboard, it may be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. Information for purchasing is available online.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is not allowed on the lake. There will be some light snacks provided on board. 

Your trip with Striper Slayers is just a click away, so why not reserve it today?

Great fishing trip!
May-August Morning half days (copy) on June 27, 20262 adults1 child

Captain Brandon and wife Devin are definitely people you’d enjoy being on a boat with. We had a wonderful time conversating, learning about fishing for stripe and of course catching them. We thought the rain was going to hit but it turned out to be a beautiful morning and Cherokee Lake didn’t disappoint with the fish and sight seeing. Recommend Striper Slayers 10/10.

Fish on!
May-August Morning half days on June 24, 20263 adults1 child

Great trip with Capt. Jamie. From the start, Jamie was there right on time and got us on the water and ready to fish before the sun even came up. On the fish right out of the gate and the excitement didn't stop until we docked the boat. Would not fish with any other Capt. when we come back.

There is nothing negative I could say about this trip. The captain and crew were very professional, knowledgeable, and helped you in any way they could. I highly recommend booking them if you’re going to go fishing.
