  Best trip ever - 2nd Year in a Row!

  Half Day on July 3, 2026 • 4 adults

  What an incredible day on the lake! Two years in a row! Justin is the best! Three teenage girls on a fishing boat can be a scary thing, but his enthusiasm and dad jokes made the experience even more exciting, and it was clear he cared about creating great memories—not just catching fish. We caught a lot of fish! He is extremely knowledgeable - he knows exactly where to go and what to do! More importantly, he made sure we had fun doing it. If you're looking for a friendly, professional fishing guide who knows the lake, puts his guests first, and creates an unforgettable experience, we highly recommend booking a trip with him. Until next year! The Shirley Family & Friends

  Capt Justin is awesome / 54 boated in 4hrs

  Half Day on May 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We went out on a crappy cool and rainy day, but Justin did his best to keep us shielded from the elements. His bait was plentiful and lively, his equipment was great and he was a good dude. Genuine nice guy. This was the first fishing trip my 11 year old nephew experienced and Justin set the bar high for future fishing charters, since we boated 54 fish in 4hrs, mixed bag of Spots, Large Mouth, Hybrid Stripers and a couple cats! Can’t wait to do it again. He is your guy, I fish all over the world with guides both fresh and salt and I’d put him up in my top 10 list. Thank you for the experience! Can’t wait to do it again.

  great trip

  Half Day on July 2, 2026 • 3 adults

  this was our first time taking a charter out on a lake. Justin was awesome. Me and my two sons had such a fun time. We called roughly 20 fish and a four hour Period. we caught a couple catfish, spotted bass, purch and  crappy. We decided to keep six or eight fish and he fillet them for us once we were done. We’re gonna take them back to our house and have them for dinner. He  baited all of our lines so all we had to do was fish and have fun. I highly recommend using his service if your ever around Lake Norman.

  Captain put us on the fish in even the most difficult of circumstances. 90 degree day in September with 90 degree water. Everyome in our party caught fish!! Then the trip got cut short due to a severe thunderstorm. Got us in safely and pro-rated the time. 10 out of 10 will definitely re-book. Even kept us entertained woth awesome dad jokes!!

  wow! we caught a ton of perxh and bass! we were four older ladies and he made us feel welcome and yaken care of! he was on time. put us on a tin of fish. the boat was a great size - plenty of room. then he was kind enough to take us to the ataye park part od the lake. we saw beautiful scenery and deer swimming. he was even kind enough to shownus how to catch bait fish! one final note to show what a great guy he is… he called a day or so before to recommned we go out earlier as the fishing would be better. and it was!! i have already rebooked with Captain Justin formout next trip.
