Rooke Guide Services Is ready to have you on many lakes in the North Georgia area and the upstate South Carolina Region. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Reed is prepared to put you on fish.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass, and who knows what else! You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

You'll step aboard a 21' iKon bass boat that can carry up to 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials that no fishing machine can run without. Capt. Reed has rods and reels for you, along with lures.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now's the time to experience fishing in Anderson for yourself, with Rooke Guide Services!

Half Day Trip on July 13, 20261 adult1 child

What an incredible day on the water! 🎣🔥 If you’re thinking about booking a bass fishing trip, do yourself a favor and book with Rooke Guide Services. Reed was first-class from start to finish. His boat, electronics, and gear were all top-notch. Before we made our first cast, he took the time to explain the tackle we’d be using and made sure we were comfortable and ready to fish. One of the biggest reasons I chose Rooke Guide Services was because I wanted a younger captain that my 13-year-old son could connect with. Being a college student himself, Reed related really well with him, making the trip even more enjoyable and memorable. The fishing was absolutely insane! Reed kept us on fish all day and put us in the middle of multiple feeding frenzies. We caught over 20 bass and missed plenty more. There was never a dull moment! The memories my son and I made today are worth far more than the cost of the trip. We had an absolute blast and will definitely be booking with Reed and Rooke Guide Services again. If you’re on the fence about hiring a guide, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it! Thanks again, Reed, for an unforgettable day!

Very good experience
Half Day Trip on April 27, 20261 adult

I had a great experience today with Reed. He’s a friendly, attentive, and professional young guide who knows his gear and his spots. As a resident of France, I was determined to explore Lake Hartwell during my visit to the region, and I don’t regret hiring his services. Reed has top-notch equipment and managed to locate plenty of fish this morning despite fairly strong winds. This allowed me to hook a few fish and battle an magnificent Striped Bass. I highly recommend this service. Thanks, Reed !
