There’s a fish with your name on it in Akron and your captain, Buddy will help you catch it!

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Crappie, and anything else willing to bite. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself throwing lite tackle on spinning gear, or maybe something more advanced like using bait casters.

You’ll be dropping lines from an 18’ Nitro bass boat with a capacity for 2 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Smoking and drinking alcohol is not allowed.

Your Fishing Buddy will make it easy for you to go fishing in Northport. So, how about booking that trip?

4 Hour Trip on July 29, 20251 adult1 child
I booked a fishing trip for my brother and his son and they both had a great time. It was their first time boat fishing and Captain Buddy made them feel safe, relaxed and comfortable. They caught quite a few fish too. They cant wait to do it again.

Captain Buddy was great to fish with, and put us on over a dozen spotted bass. He couldn’t be nicer with my son, and had the latest fishing gear, boat and equipment.

Capt was very knowledgeable, he knew all the right Spots, had all the good gear, and was very personable. My son and I had a wonderful time on the river with him, and I would highly recommend him to anybody looking to catch him fish and have a good time.
