(FFHH) as well as a certified fishing instructor for the 'Hooked on Fishing, Not on Drugs' national program in the Metro Atlanta area. With over 25 years of fishing experience, he recognized the need to raise awareness of sport fishing and boating. Capt.

    Malik is a True Fishing Expert!

    Half Day – Crappie/StripedBass (PM) • 2 adults

    We had an awesome time out on Lake Allatoona with Malik! He was great to work with from the start and even helped us reschedule our trip to the morning since it was going to be so hot, which made a huge difference. Once we got on the water, Malik put us on the fish and we had an incredible day trolling. We caught a lot of spotted bass, striped bass, and catfish!! He also did a great job teaching us all about fishing and the different species in the lake. He was taking lots of photos and videos throughout the trip, so we have plenty of memories to look back on. Malik was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. We had a great time and would absolutely recommend booking a trip with him!!

    Tracy, Thank you for the review and most of all I really enjoyed fishing with you and your husband today. You both had great positive attitudes and understanding of the style of fishing. Once you learned how to bait your hook your luck started. Watching you both fight these fish was a fishing guides treat. It was great fishing with yall and hope to get you both back out on the water again soon. Stay Blessed.

    Fantastic day, Capt Malik is an amazing angler and human being!

    Half Day – WhiteBass/HybridStriped • 1 adult

    Had a fantastic day on the water with Capt. Malik. From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and focused on putting us on fish. We caught a great variety—striped bass, hybrid bass, largemouth bass, and spotted bass—and the action stayed consistent throughout the trip. Capt. Malik really knows the lake, moved us to the right spots at the right time, and made sure we were always fishing effectively. He was patient, gave clear guidance when needed, and created a relaxed but productive atmosphere. Whether you’re experienced or still learning (like me in freshwater), he adapts well and helps you get the most out of the day. Highly recommend Capt. Malik if you’re looking for a fun and successful fishing trip. I’ll definitely be going out with him again.

    Amazing First-Time Charter Experience!

    Half Day – Crappie/StripedBass (AM) • 2 adults

    This was our very first chartered fishing trip, and Captain Malik made it unforgettable! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel comfortable, safe, and excited for the day. He explained everything clearly, helped us with our lines, and had the best energy the entire trip. We caught more fish than we expected and learned so much along the way. You can tell Captain Malik truly loves what he does — he was patient, professional, and made the experience fun for both me and my boyfriend. If you're looking for a great time on the water with someone who knows exactly what they’re doing, I highly recommend booking with Captain Malik. We’ll definitely be back for another trip!
