Capt. Harvey grew up on Lake Somerville, so it's safe to say that he knows it like the back of his hand! As well as this, he was raised in a family of fishing fanatics, and soon developed his own love for angling. He's been guiding on Lake Somerville since 2001, and knows the hottest spots to target for a huge variety of incredible freshwater fish. He's landed some seriously impressive catches, too, including 58" bull Redfish, and 32" Hybrid Striped Bass. In

    Fun Day

    5 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Captain Harvey and his brother Phillip were awesome. The sun didn’t cooperate as hoped but they did their absolute best to put us on fish all day. In the end we walked away with a good amount of fish. They made my sons 16th birthday a fun day. We’ll be back to fish with them again soon.

    Reported catch:
    White Bass
    Catfish
    Crappie
    Hybrid Striped Bass
