Spend the day with Horton's Fishing Adventure's and find out what the fishing in East Ellijay is all about! With Captain Josh at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Species like Largemouth Bass, Striped Bass, White Bass, Spotted Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Walleye, and more inhabit these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You'll be casting lines from a 21' Ranger bass boat that holds up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials you will need for a great day on the water.

You will need to buy 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, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks and snacks will be provided. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

    What a Day!

    Half Day Trip Carters Special (AM) on September 16, 2024 • 1 adult

    I’ve got to say, with this being my first charter of any kind, Josh far exceeded my expectations. From the ease of booking the trip, to finding him on the dock early in the dark morning to spending hours on the water having a great time, this was really a GREAT experience. Not to mention, we hooked into some monsters! I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to have a great day on the lake and those who want to catch fish!

    Josh was great! Lots of great fishing tips and local information. One of us caught a 17 lb striped bass. Josh even cleaned it for us and gave a few cooking tips. Highly recommend.
