    First time, but definitely not the last!

    6 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on July 6, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain 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!

    Caught more fish than we could have imagined!

    6 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on October 23, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Joe worked hard to make sure we caught fish. We caught our first one just 10 minutes after being out on the water. We caught multiple species throughout the day, and the captain worked hard to teach us and make sure we were successfull. I have been on a few other fishing trips - some good and some bad - and this one was so good I would come back just to know we would have a good time.

    Great Trip Very Knowledgeable Captain…

    3 Hour Trip – Afternoon on July 21, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain 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.

    Awesome outing! Highly recommend

    3 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on April 7, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Couldn'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!
