6 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on July 3, 20254 adults
Our captain Joe was absolutely amazing knowing the area knowing what times to get out there and was very good at using his equipment. Also taught my son what he was looking for in the water by using the same equipment. We paid for six hours though it doesn’t happen for everybody, we Limited in half the time 10 out of 10 I would recommend and will be doing this again. With this group.

3 Hour Trip – Evening on August 2, 20252 adults2 children
We booked a 3 hour trip and Joe took us out. It was rainy and overcast, and we were worried about getting wet. He got us on the Stripers quick and we limited out and were back to the ramp in 2 hours! Amazing! My family loved every moment and HIGHLY recommend! Joes knowledge of fishing and patience with my children who were novices. Can’t brag enough about this guy!

6 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on May 19, 20252 adults
Our grandson and our son-in-law had a wonderful time. They caught so much fish. It wore them out I think. Can’t say enough good about Captain Joe and the fun they had. If you get a chance to go fishing with this guy, treat yourself—you’ll have a wonderful time. Captain Joe really knows what he’s doing, and he will put you on the fish, the big ones. I am sure we will be going again with him, especially looking forward to taking family who come from out of town and love to fish. Thank you, Captain Joe!

UNBELIEVABLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!
6 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on May 3, 20252 adults
Our first time fishing this lake and first time fishing for Striped Bass! Captain Joe was sensational to say the least!!!!!! He was so knowledgeable of the lake, hot spots, about the fish in general and just overall amazing! The nicest guy you will ever meet! We caught soo many fish! The first fish my wife caught was literally a 20 lb stripper! That fish was HUGE!!!!! If you are booking…. There’s no one better than Captain Joe!!!!! Thank you for the awesome experience! Can’t wait to do it again soon!!

Captain Joe was Great!
6 Hour Trip – Striped Bass on December 24, 20244 adults
We planned a trip to Tennessee around this fishing trip because it was the only thing my twin 15 yr olds wanted to do for Christmas. It was a high of 27° at 7am and was absolutely freezing.. captain Joe tried to do everything in his power to get us to the fish he was communicating with other captains and taking us all over. We got one hooked and lost it at the side of the boat. One of my boys brought in a nice striped bass, my other son got to bring in a large mouth bass. We didn't bring in the amount we were hoping for, however sometimes it's out of our control. Captain Joe was very accommodating and even stayed a little later trying to make my kids Christmas wish come true, which made him run late for a family Christmas. ( Im sorry to his family he was late). I would love to bring my boys back to Tennessee when the weather is warmer and try again to hit our max and all be able to bring in some striped bass.
