There's a fish with your name on it and Tails Up Tours will help you catch it! With Captain Mike at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

These waters are known for Striped Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass, White Bass, Crappie, Catfish, and more – with any luck, it won't be long before 'Fish on!' You can expect to do some spinning, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach!

Capt. Mike runs a 24' Tidewater bay boat with room for 6 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Capt. Mike has rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included for every fishing trip.

You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing Lake Allatoona for yourself, with Tails Up Tours!

Half Day Trip – Lake Allatoona on September 1, 20252 adults2 children

We had a wonderful experience on our fishing trip! Our guide was on time, knew the lake extremely well, and even gave us a fun tour around it. He was very knowledgeable about fishing, he had life jackets and everything else we needed (we only brought a cooler and snacks) , and made the whole trip enjoyable for my husband, myself, and our kids (this was their first time on a lake fishing, and he made sure they had fun and their questions were answered) . We appreciated how engaging and personable he was with the whole family. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

Michael is an experienced Captain that puts the care of his guest first. Communicated with me prior to the event to answer all of my questions. He understood that it was our first time fresh water fishing so he was hands on, making sure that my wife and I enjoyed ourselves!! I would recommend to anyone seeking an unforgettable time on the lake!!

Half Day Trip – Lake Allatoona on July 29, 20251 adult5 children

I took a group of 10yo boys from my son’s football team & they had the best time! It was the first time fishing for several of them. Captain Michael was the best guide and my boys are already asking when we can go back, requesting to use his boat again. Thank you for helping make memories I’m sure they’ll never forget.
