Capt. Rusty will provide rods and reels for you. Live bait is included.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, rain gear, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask.  If fishing during the spring or winter months, extra warm clothing is recommended. Alcohol is not allowed.

    great trip

    Striper Morning - Half Day Trip on July 29, 2026 • 3 adults

    My boys and I had a great experience with Captain Rusty! We caght our limit of hybrid stripers, a walleye, and several catfish. I would highly recommend as a great way to get away from the hustle and bustling of guttenburg/ pigeon forge for a day.
