Spend the day with Exceptional Guide Service and see what's biting in Mooresville! With Captain Henry at the helm, you'll benefit from years of local knowledge and experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Crappie, Spotted Bass, White Perch, Striped Bass, and more.

You can expect to enjoy light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or perhaps something more specialized in this area.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if one is available on board. And you can't go wrong with bringing snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 21' skiff with capacity for 4 passengers. It comes equipped with all the essentials.

Rods, reels, tackle, and lures are included. Live bait is also included, but it's a good idea to ask about it beforehand so you know whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Before coming aboard, you may need to purchase a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be protected or require a tag to keep, so make sure you know what to expect.

A few items to bring include bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

Your trip with Exceptional Guide Service is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Captain Henry’s vessel was a BLAST!
4 Hour – Lake Fishing Charter on June 21, 20262 adults

My wife and I had an absolutely amazing time with Captain Henry along the inland’s. Henry was patient, highly knowledgeable, and hilarious the whole trip. We caught catfish, bass, crappy, and sooooo many hybrids. Henry quickly shifted us seamlessly through the channels of lakes til he puts us on the fish, each time with ease. His conversational points and jokes made it easy for us to call he and his beautiful wife family after our trip. We are already planning a return trip on another vessel! Thank you again Henry! See you soon!
