The best lake trip we’ve ever had, lots of fish!
AM Lake Allatoona Special on July 27, 2026 • 2 adults
Caught plenty Bass, Crappie, and Catfish. Josh is a great guide, every stop provided abundant fish, great conversation, and epic coastline. He taught us a great deal about fishing for bass, in the past we’ve mostly caught trout, bluegill, and crappie, but this time the bass fishing was awesome. I highly recommend Josh to anyone that wants to have a great time with a great captain, great gear, and boat!

Fishing with Josh
AM Lanier Half Day Trip Special on March 7, 2026 • 2 adults
First time my brother-in-law and myself fished for stripers. That was the goal and we told our guide. Neither one of us had ever caught one. It was a foggy day so we got started late but within 45 minutes on the lake we had our first striper. 10 lbs plus. within another half hour we had our second striper. we had met our goal in less than two hours of fishing. That was it for the stripers but we continued to catch largemouth bass and spotted bass all we good size. It was a great day with a lot of action with no problems. We will be back.

Blue Ridge Lake Half Day Special AM on April 28, 2026 • 2 adults
Had the best day on the water today. The weather was terrible this morning and Capt Josh accommodated us by switching to an afternoon trip. We caught fish right away. He took us to several different spots and it was so nice to see the beauty of the area. He couldn't have been more helpful and personable. We highly recommend booking Capt Josh if you are in the area.

Had a great trip with Captain Josh Horton! He put us on fish all day and I ended up landing a nice trophy spotted bass. Josh clearly knows the water and worked hard to keep us on the bite. Highly recommend if you're looking for a productive, fun day on the water!

Josh was great! Lots of great fishing tips and local information. One of us caught a 17 lb striped bass. Josh even cleaned it for us and gave a few cooking tips. Highly recommend.
