My son had a blast. The lake was nice. Fish were plentiful. My son caught a bunch. Captain Frank was a great guide. Fish variety was a highlight. Very knowledgeable and fun for my 12 year old. Also great fie adults and children. Book this if you’re in or near Charlotte. Great day on the lake. Would book again. Close enough to the main city. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It was a beautiful day on LKN fishing with Captain Spencer. He knew the area well and was very knowledgeable about fishing on the lake. Most of all, he was very gracious and just a delightful person to chat with. He made the experience absolutely brilliant.
Captain Spencer is awesome!! He’s very knowledgeable and very patient with children - not only not only do they get to fish, but he also teaches them the proper way to handle fishing gear!! Knows the lake very well and works very hard to make your experience enjoyable!!
Capt Frank had boat issues so he hooked us up with Larson who is part owner of Fishing Lake Norman. He is young but did a great job being a guide. My grandson and his friend caught 35 fish total with most spotted bass a white bass and small blue gill. Both boys had a great time and I would recommend Larson for trips. Both boys loved the trip and want to do something next year when they visit.
Michael, thank you so much for this review!! they are a great partner and im glad we work together closely! i hooe i get the opportunity to take you myself next year butnit sounds like i was right, larson is better at fishing but im still way more fun to hang out with! 😂- thank you agaij fie thenkind review, its always a relief to het a great review like this!
Thank you Captain Spencer for giving my twin boys an amazing fishing trip before going back to school. They learned so much and even caught some fish. Spencer went above and beyond.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
Every year Captain Frank's family would take a trip to Islamorada in the Florida Keys. He saw his first Tarpon and all he could think about was one day adventuring the ocean as a professional fisherman. After ten years of playing professional baseball, the captain dove into the fishing industry head first. He started shooting photo and video content for some of the industry leaders in 2016 and continued to create content for companies such as Yeti, Hell's Bay Boatworks, and more. After spending years on the water, he decided to become a full-time captain. Sharing the outdoor experience with others is why he decided to make a career of this job and of course, you and he absolutely will catch fish!
