Kris Molenda•
Wisconsin, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedFirst time, but definitely not the last!
6 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on July 6, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Joe is awesome! This was my first time and my wife’s first time ever fishing for stripers and he made the trip so entertaining and so fun. I could’ve cared less if I caught anything. We got our limit we even threw some back and we also had a lot of laughs . I will definitely be calling him at least twice a year in the future. He is extremely knowledgeable and has things down to a science. He had a set up in the blink of an eye. At the end, he even cleaned our fish and bagged them. Just riding around the lake and then taking in God’s country was a good fishing trip for me. Fish are always a bonus. Thank you, Captain Joe!
Bryan Guzzardo•Louisiana, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedGreat Trip Very Knowledgeable Captain…
3 Hour Trip – Afternoon on July 21, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Joe is amazing Capatin. From the first set of lines we dropped to the last he made sure we caught our limit of fish and that we all had a great time. Kid Friendly and made aure our kids had an amazing experience even after we had caught a limit of fish he had no prolem going after a different species. Highly Recommend this trip if you’re in the Smokies and looking for something fun to do and get out of the fast paced city life of Pigeon Forge and or Gatlinburg as this is within an hour drive. Thanks for making our trip memorable.

3 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on April 7, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCouldn't be happier with our outing. todd was a fantastic captain--a great guy, incredibly knowledgeable fisherman, and as friendly/patient as I could have hoped with our two young boys who talked his ear off from beginning to end. We had so much fun and would absolutely do it all over again!

6 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on July 30, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childGreat family friendly charter. Captain worked hard to catch our limit.

Thanks Bryan, had a great time fishing with you all today.
Capt Todd was professional, knowledgeable and humorous. It was a great fishing experience for my son’s first fishing experience. i come to Tennessee every year and I will be using Capt Todd and his father for all of my dream fishing dreams going forward.
Great day on the water, we arrived everything was ready to go. We took a nice ride to a fishing spot, and caught out first hybrid bass within a few minutes. When things slowed down we moved around, a bit then got a few nibbles, and very soon after we had all the fish we could want. The whole time, great stories, and good laughs. Just the best day we could have asked for.
Thank you for the review! We really appreciate you all coming out and fishing with us.
Had a great time with Capt. Todd this morning! Fishing was good, well as good as it can be a day after the full moon, LOL. Even with this we were able to limit out no problem. Capt.Todd, even when the fishing slowed down, he found ways to keep it interesting. I'm sure i will be back!
Thank you!!
