Tails Up Tours

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!
