great trip
Striper/Hybrid Trip morning on July 29, 20263 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.
