Striper Bandit Guide Service 

If I could give 50 stars, I would!! Jaime was super flexible and accommodating as we had booked a really tight schedule of back-to-back excursions during our visit! Being on the boat with him was like catching up with an old high school buddy. He was personable, super-friendly, helpful and hospitable!! It felt like we’d known him for years! He was able to take us right to where the large fish would be biting and we caught plenty! He baited our hooks, had the net handy when we it was time to bring in the big catch and even took photos! I can’t say enough great things! Book this trip just once and I guarantee you’ll book with Jamie 100 times again!

My friend and I had an awesome time on this charter! The captain was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to keep us on fish all day. We ended up hitting our limit, and the action was nonstop. The boat was clean, everything was well organized, and they cleaned all of our fish before we left, which was a huge bonus. If you’re looking for a great fishing trip with a captain who knows exactly where to find the fish, I highly recommend this charter. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area!

We had an outstanding experience on Cherokee Lake chasing striped and hybrid bass with Captain Jamie from Striper Bandit. From start to finish, the trip was first-class. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable about the lake and knew exactly where to find the fish—we were on them early, and we landed some impressive stripers and hybrids. Even pulled out a few white Bass and a slob of a small mouth What really stood out was how well everything was run—top-notch gear, a clean and comfortable boat, and a guide who made sure everyone was having a great time, whether you were experienced or brand new to fishing. Beyond just catching fish, we learned a ton about technique, bait, and reading the water. It felt like more than just a charter—it was a full experience. If you’re thinking about booking a fishing trip on Cherokee Lake, don’t hesitate. This was easily one of the best days we’ve had on the water, and we’ll definitely be back.

Captain Rusty, was fantastic….had state of the art equipment, kept us in the hunt and communicated with others to get is into 2 nice fishing spots. We caught 10, kept our limit and released 4. The lake is beautiful and very healthy…..with plenty of feeder fish in every cove. If looking for an adventure, great captain and great fishing experience….look no further!!!

I have fished my whole life for fun, competitvely and as a charter service. I have also been fortunate to fish quite a few places across the US and this was one of the best experience to date. The captain and guide was very knowledgeable, had a great boat and great equipment, was as nice as anyone we ever met. Fishing is fiahing, sometime tou catch tbem and sometimes you dont. My son and caught a ton of fish, a lot of quality stripers and made some great memories. Please give this captain a try, you wont be disappointed!
