I have been fishing the Tennessee River for these giant fish since 2008 and have been chasing trophy Catfish since 2005. Join me for a great fishing adventure so we can catch these magnificent beasts!

    Great Captain

    6 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    I was a little nervous when we booked if this would be a scam. Aaron reached out to me right away and made sure I knew there was a real person on the other end with good intentions. We chatted back and forth about what we were looking for. My mind was put to ease. While we were on our way from Canada to Tennessee, he called to touch base. To have a real phone conversation seems rare these days. He then texted the day before to reconfirm directions. Super pleased with the level of communication. While on the boat, Aaron was pleasant and easy to interact with us. His hospitality was excellent and he made it clear it was our trip and we could spend it as we chose. Thanks for the great experience in Tennessee Aaron!

    A wonderful trip for our 37th anniversary

    8 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Aaron is a wonderful guide and Captain. He has very good knowledge of the river. We targeted big catfish and it wasn't long after we were on the water that we hooked up on fish. We both caught our biggest fish ever, with my wife reeling in a 34 lb blue cat. Smallest was probably 14-15 lbs. We missed several others. We would highly recommend a trip with Tennessee River Adventures

    Fun & time we needed for the family outing!

    6 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    For years my dad and I always wanted to fish together but being separated by state lines it’s hard to do. For my birthday my dad booked a trip with Aaron and we dragged my mom out (first time fishing for her). Caught LOTS OF CAT FISH! And the mom first timer got the biggest one! Over 20 pound MONSTER!!! Loved the trip loved the captain, definitely took business cards to recommend him to our family and friends! Thank you so much Aaron!

    Captain Aaron was awesome! He made sure about 4 - 5 poles were baited and in the water. His knowledge of the area was beneficial to us catching what we did. He provided drinks and had a pair of binoculars! When we come back to the area we will definitely book a trip with him again!

    Mr.Aaron was just what you want in a fishing guide, flexible in tactics until you find what the fish are wanting then tight lines and bent rods !!

    My wife and I loved our fishing (catching) trip. We caught a boatload of catfish, the smallest of which was 21 pounds. Our Captain, Aaron Massey, was the sole reason for our remarkable adventure. He was highly skilled, professional, polite, and just plain fun to be around. We will be seeing him again--soon. So, if you're looking for a superb experience, don't hesitate to call this catfishing wizard.

    This trip was everything I had hoped for when fishing for big blues on the Tennessee river. We caught some monsters and our share of smaller cats too.

August Tennessee River report

Aug 1, 2023 • Chattanooga
We fished 18 trips this month and found some good action. Unstable weather and lower than average current flow made the anchor bite at night a little tougher than years past although we managed some good fish. 1st trip on the new Sea Ark 2472 we set the boat record pretty quick with a 58lb blue cat. 3 trips later that record fell with a mean 73lb blue. We got on good numbers drifting light tackle and went monster hunting after dark many trips. I'm looking forward to cooler weather and water temps in the next few months should get the fish moving around pretty good! Gimme a call, we are fishin!
