Fishers Of Men Guide Service specializes in family-friendly guided fishing trips for Lake Norman and surrounding areas. Guide Justin Goodson has lived just minutes from the lake his entire life and has mastered the waters. If you’re looking for a safe, fun, and productive day of fishing, you have found the right place!

Fish like the locals aboard a 24’ Sea Ark Super Jon boat. It is a stable open fishing platform that comes powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine. Perfect for accommodating up to 5 anglers, the vessel is fitted with top-notch navigational electronics and other professional accessories, including a wireless trolling motor for a quiet ride and an ice box to keep your catch fresh during the day.

Fishers Of Men Guide Service welcomes anglers of all skill levels and expertise. Whether you are a seasoned angler, a beginner, or a pro, your guide will put you right on top of hot fish. Spin and fish with light tackle for White Perch, fight with Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, Hybrid Bass, and tempt Catfish.

All trips come with rods, reels, tackle, and live bait that you will catch at the beginning of the trip. You will need to purchase a valid North Carolina fishing license, bring appropriate clothing, your favorite drinks, and food.

With waters inviting to fish, all the necessary tools, and thousands of hours of experience, Fishers of Men Guide Service will give you an experience you won’t soon forget. Fishing is always better on your side of the lake!

Morning Half Day on July 3, 2025

Had a great fishing excursion with Justin. He knows the lake like the back of his hand. We caught ten good sized fish at the beginning of July! He also puts the guests first and he’s very personable, family oriented, likable guy. I was there to learn how to fish Lake Norman and he bent over backwards with advice, good spots, lures, baits and lots of other useful information. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with choosing him for your LKN outing. Very very happy!

Great experience and caught fish! My son and I over the years going fishing just us have not had a lot of luck fishing off the bank, so figured we’d do this trip and it was well worth it. We both caught fish and had good conversation and made good memories! Captain Justin, was great, knowledgeable and we had a great time on the lake, and weather was even cooperative with it not being super hot. Overall definitely recommend! Thanks Justin! Hope to go again!

Afternoon Half Day on April 30, 2025

Me and the 4 kids went out for a day on the lake to catch some fish. I am so happy we did, and I am even happier we found Captain Justin and Fishers Of Men Guide Service. He was great with the kids (ages 9,8,3,3), and he knew how to keep them interested and engaged for the 4 hours we were on the water. Of course we caught loads of fish, but the kids also had a chance to explore a small beach to break up the day. We brought the fish back home and grilled them on the Blackstone later that night, following Capt. Justin's recipe. It was a great afternoon, and I'm grateful for the chance to meet Justin - he is a great guide and a blessed man.

FISHING DAY FOR THE AGES!!!! BEST BIRTHDAY EVER

VERIFIED

Afternoon Half Day on March 13, 2025

Where do I even begin with Captain Justin and his charter? It was my birthday, and the only day I've been looking forward to all year. From the time I confirmed the trip, Captain Justin was extremely timely with his communication. He texted me days before and the morning of the charter to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. He loaded his boat onto the water early, and we started our trip right on time. From the onset, Captain Justin was extremely friendly, personable, and imparted great fishing tidbits to my girlfriend and I. His boat was decked out with 6+ rods, an insanely huge livewell, and great technology, all aimed at constantly putting us on the fish. It was not long before we began to hook up, and hook up big time!!!! My girlfriend and I caught MULTIPLE FISH EACH, including a 4LB PB spotted bass and an 11LB PB CATFISH!!!!!! We were insanely stoked on the catches. Captain Justin took our pictures for us and got right back to baiting lines to get more fish! He advised us on the best sizes of fish for eating, and the best to throw back to let live another day and repopulate the Lake. Captain Justin told us tales of some of the great people he's taken fishing, and while we were at our last spot of the day, the Captain filleted all of our catches and sent us home with bags of fresh fish! We loved the trip so much, that we asked the Captain to send us the fishing shirts of his business that he was wearing, and of course he did! I COULD NOT HAVE HAD A BETTER DAY, I DON'T THINK ANYONE COULD HAVE! We were so blessed to have been with Captain Justin. If you're thinking of going fishing on Lake Norman, Captain Justin is your guy hands down!!!!! <3

From start to finish, it was great! Captain Justin is so kind and knowledgeable; he clearly loves God and his family. It was a trip for my teenage niece and in her words, “he’s the best fisher catcher ever and he has great jokes.” He answered lots of questions, was very patient and we had a blast. We caught lots of fish! He even prepared them so we could cook at the house! A+ experience.
