With Capt Tim’s help and if you’re lucky, the fish in these waters include Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and more.
Capt. Tim tailors every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! Depending on the trip and species, you’ll be using techniques like bottom fishing, topwater, or maybe a class on fishing with your electronics.
You’re looking at 4 to 8-hour trips, where you’ll usually go after the likes of largemouth bass, depending on the weather and time of year.
Fishing is about family time if planning a family adventure. Kids are welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!
You’ll be fishing aboard a 21-foot Phoenix Bass boat that can carry up to four passengers. It comes with a fighting chair and everything else you need for a productive day on the water.
Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures.
Before coming aboard, you may need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
Some essentials to bring are sunglasses and your favorite sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.
