Hortons Fishing Adventures 

Make an adventure out of your next trip in Blue Ridge and go fishing with Hortons Fishing Adventures. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Josh knows them forwards and back.

Spotted Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, European Perch, Walleye, Crappie, White Bass, and more can be found in these waters, depending on the time of year. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. You're welcome to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your vessel for the day is a 20' Ranger aluminum fishing boat that can carry up to 3 passengers. It comes with a fighting chair, and all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.

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.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks provided on board.

Hortons Fishing Adventures will make it easy for you to go fishing in Blue Ridge. So, how about booking that trip?
