My wife and I came to Tennessee for our 20th wedding anniversary to enjoy the usual tourist attractions, but we also decided to spend a half day on the water doing what we love…fishing.  It turned out to be the highlight of our entire trip!

Captain Nathan was amazing.  We caught 7 bass (4 largemouth and 3 smallmouth), with the biggest weighing just over 4 lbs. Back home, we’re used to bottom or bobber fishing, but Nathan patiently walked us through different techniques that work best on Douglas Lake. All we had to do was follow his clear instructions, and they worked!

Before the trip, he communicated often to make sure we were prepared for the weather and to understand our fishing preferences. He built a plan tailored to our experience level, blending familiar methods with new ones to help us learn and have fun.

On top of being a great guide, Nathan is just an all-around great guy. We’ve been on many guided fishing trips, and this one ranks among the very best. If you’re heading to Douglas Lake, don’t hesitate to book with Nathan Mountain Outdoors, you will not be disappointed!  Easily a 5+ star experience!  Thank you, Captain Nathan, for helping us make another special memory to add to our 20+ years together!

Fished a half day charter with Captain Nathan. My buddy was not an experienced fisherman, and was not familiar with a spinning reel, but Captain Nathan had him casting like a pro within minutes. And of course, my buddy was catching all the fish in short order. I was happy about that! I did catch up in the end. Nathan gave us several options of style of fishing, from top water lures, to subsurface lures to live bait depending on the time of day and conditions. I’m lifelong fisherman and thoroughly enjoyed the day on the water with Captain Nathan. Go fish with him!

Windy day, tough conditions. Nathan was still able to put us on fish, keep the boat positioned, and give us great opportunities to catch them. He did a great job on a challenging weather day. We thoroughly enjoyed him and caught some nice bass. Very well prepared guide, very friendly, extremely knowledgeable.

It was not the best time to go fishing. The water is down quite quite a bit. It was a day before a tournament and a lot of about traffic and there were two completely different fish people in the boat myself who has been Fishinng his entire life and someone who has never fished before. You’re doing so you still were able to catch some good fish and some good number so the captain is very knowledgable nice guy and it was a beautiful location.
