If you want to hit Georgia's best fishing spots in search of Bass, Trout, Walleye, Perch, and more, Reel Time Charters is the name to remember. Based out of Mount Airy, GA, they'll take you to the area's top lakes and streams in search of all these fish and many more.

Captain Richard Allen started running charters to share his love of his native waters with as many people as possible. Let him show you just how good the fishing here is – you have to see it to believe it!

You'll be fishing aboard a 20' Glassmaster center console. Built in 2012, she comes powered by a 150 HP Yamaha outboard. She's no slow coach, that's for sure.

Depending on when you visit, you could be fishing for anything from Crappie and Largemouth Bass to Rainbow and Lake Trout. With such a variety of species on offer, you'll need a wide mix of equipment to get the most out of your day. That's exactly what you'll get, with both light and heavy tackle and the option to troll, spin, pop, jig, and bottom fish the day away.

All Reel Time Charters trips come with rods, reels, live bait, and lures – everything you'll need for the day's fishing. Just bring your fishing license and plenty of food and drinks and jump aboard for a great day on the water!

Captain Rick was fun to fish with and worked hard to find fish. We were successful in catching spotted bass and hybrid stripers

An Unforgettable Father & Son Fishing Adventure
5 Hour Trip on July 23, 20232 adults

From the moment we embarked on our fishing trip with Captain Rick and Reel Time Charters, we knew we were in for a treat. Our primary goal was to ensure my son had an unforgettable experience catching fish of a considerable size, and Captain Rick delivered exactly that, exceeding our expectations. We set sail on Lake Hartwell, a location suggested by Captain Rick himself. His knowledge of the lake and its aquatic life proved invaluable, as it was teeming with fish and offered a rewarding fishing experience. Captain Rick was not just a guide, but an excellent mentor. He took the time to explain our fishing locations and the reasons behind his choices, providing us with a deeper understanding of the sport. His expertise extended to the use of live bait and lures, which he explained with great patience and clarity. The trip was not just about fishing. The beautiful scenery of Lake Hartwell, coupled with the fantastic weather, added to the overall enjoyment of our adventure. The highlight, however, was undoubtedly the sight of my son reeling in big fish, his excitement palpable. We are already looking forward to our next fishing adventure with Captain Rick. His expertise, patience, and friendly demeanor have made us yearn for more guided fishing time. We eagerly anticipate our return in the fall or spring for another round of unforgettable fishing experiences! Thanks Captain Rick!

REEL TIME WAS!
5 Hour Trip on July 29, 20241 adult

Capt. Rick knew his lake and was able to put us on fish. He listened to me and the way I fished. Then, he had me try other methods and was patient. The lake we went on , Lake Burton, was a gorgeous spot and I enjoyed it. Rick took pictures of the fish we caught and sent them to me in a text. All in all, Avery enjoyable trip

Captain Richard Allen was lucky enough to be taken fishing since he was a young child. Growing up on and around the water, fishing has always been his passion. If he can catch a fish, he's happy. If he can help someone else do so, that's even better in his book! Capt. Richard loves using artificial baits like swimbaits, crankbaits, and topwater lures. He is more than happy to take you fishing any way you choose, though.
