Took a family fishing excursion for some striper and could not be happier with the experience. Captain Derek is amazing! He not only put us on the fish and took wonderful care of us, his pleasant personality and passion for what he does is second to none! My daughter was about to celebrate her 10th birthday, and Captain Derek made sure the experience was one she will not soon forget! Highly recommend, and will definitely return!

My father in-law, nephew, and son took this trip and we really enjoyed it. We are big fisherman in Texas so it was great fishing new waters and for new fish. Derick showed us all around the lake and explained everything to us well. When we arrived he had a cooler of drinks iced down for us and was just a really outgoing person. I think I enjoyed just having conversations with him rather than fishing. If we return I will definitely be booking again and I highly recommend to use this guide.

My wife & I had an incredible fishing charter with Captain Derek. He was prompt with communication prior to the trip and was ready to hit the water right on time. He gave us tips for catching trout throughout the trip, and helped us out as needed. We had a successful trip, with both my wife & I catching multiple fish each. My wife even reeled in a 22 inch rainbow trout, a catch of a lifetime. I highly recommend Derek for a fishing charter, and for all skill levels and experience.

We had a very enjoyable morning fishing the French Broad River.  Derek was very helpful and willing to teach.  He had our group trying a variety of lures. My son-in-law had never fished - he caught 2 smallmouth bass.  My 12-yr old grandson had never used an open spinning reel and Derek willingly helped him; he caught a 19-inch Drum.  My son had never used topwater bass lures before and with one he had a large bass on the line until it jumped 3 times and shook the lure loose.  I caught my...

Had a great day fishing for trout on the Clinch River with my three boys.  Captain Gavin was very accommodating.  He did a great job keeping us all fishing helping to change out lures and quickly get us unsnagged.  Boat was very clean and easy to for all of us to fish without feeling like we were on top of each other.  Captain Gavin was very personable with my boys talking about all things hunting and fishing.
