    Lake Norman’s Finest Charter Company

    Half Day Trip (PM)2 adults

    Booked a four hour bass fishing charter with Captain Frank as a Christmas gift for my son and he did not disappoint. From start to finish, everything was top-notch. The boat, rods and lures were the highest of quality. The captain and his first mate, Spencer, were friendly, hospitable and incredibly knowledgeable of the lake and the fish that inhabit it. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fantastic time on the water. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, this charter is perfect for anyone looking to have a great day on Lake Norman. Highly recommend!

    Response from Captain

    Adam, thank you so much for this phenomenal review! I seriously cannot thank you enough! We LOVED spending the day on the water with you! Thank you for your kindness and awesome conversation! I hope to fish with you again sooner than later! Thank you!!!

    Make memories with Captain Frank

    Full Day Trip!!2 adults

    When you go fishing, you really want to create a memory. Captain Frank gives you a day you will never forget. His warm smile and courteous manner coupled with his expert knowledge is rare. We spent the entire day with Frank and caught every targeted species and had plenty of fish to eat when we went home. Great day made possible by a great captain. If you want to catch a fish - book with anyone / if you want a day you will always remember book with Captain Frank!

    My birthday gift to myself

    Half Day Trip (PM)2 adults1 child

    I booked this trip as a birthday gift to myself. Captain Frank was out of town but put me and my son with Captain Spencer. He was a great resource on locations to get bites. And he was right. We caught fish at almost every spot he took us to. My son had a ball and is already asking when is the next trip. We created some great memories. It was a great birthday gift to myself! I highly recommend this outfit for your next fishing trip.
