There's a fish with your name on it in Penhook and On Point Guide Service will help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Cooper, giving you access to years of fishing experience on Smith Mountain lake!

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few! For these species, you're likely to be using light tackle.

    Great Day on the Water

    Half Day Trip (AM) on September 9, 2026

    Not only did we catch bass and stripers, but we gained lots of knowledge from Cooper on using Live scope. Cooper is a knowledgeable guide who works hard to put you on the fish and make sure you have a fun time.

    The fall feeding frenzy is here! We are currently seeing a lot of 30 plus fish mornings and it’s only going to keep getting better all the way through October! Keep your eyes peeled for breaking stripers the whole time you are out cause you never know when or where they may come up and destroy the top of the water! The bass fishing is also heating up and getting awesome as well! There are a lot of main lake schooling Smallmouth and Largemouth right now, schooling on points humps and anywhere else that has a bunch of herring around! As these cool nights start creeping in don’t be surprised to start seeing some really big ones already in the dirt way back in the creeks! My favorite way to target them when they start sliding back is with a 1/2 ounce jig for the super shallow sides of docks and any other shallow structure and a walking bait!
