Fishing Trips

Below you will find some of our favorite trips that we offer to you as a guided offering.

North Alabama Smallmouth bass - This fishing trip takes place in the months of November, January, February, March and in some cases April. These months provide you the best chance at landing that trophy Smallmouth bass of over 5lbs. We will be fishing below Wheeler or Wilson Dams on famous Lake Pickwick or Wilson Lake. These famous waters give up numerous trophy fish every year. During this trip, fishing will be dictated by water levels and current that is generated from the dams. A common tactic is to bounce threadfin shad across the bottom with the current or life like jigs/softbaits of the same likeness. During low current periods, we will target the numerous bluff walls making up the banks with crank baits, spinnerbaits, and jerk baits. Recommended tackle is medium action 6ft spinning rods and reels spooled with your better 8lb test lines. An all day trip consists of starting at daylight and fishing a full 10 hours or less if the client is ready to end the day. An Alabama non- resident trip license that costs $11 will also be required. Bring a small cooler with drink, snacks or sandwiches to allow us to stay on the water.

Spring Crappie on Barkley or Kentucky Lake - This trip takes place in March/April when paper mouths start moving shallow for their annual spawn. Spring temps and TVA's control of the water level dictates the fishing which can be superb. Fishing will be done over brush piles or creek ledges if the water levels are low. If lake levels are high, we will find fish in the buck brush and stake beds that dot the lake. Live bait and small jigs on light tackle or crappie poles will be used.

May Bed fishing for Bluegill - This trip can take place on any water in Kentucky during the month of May when bluegills move to the shallows and make their homes over saucer sized beds on the lake bottom. We will utilize light tackle with crickets, worms or small grubs. This is a favorite for both the young and young and heart. We can accommodate 2-3 fisherman.

Largemouth Bass - In Kentucky March is the time to land that lunker-bass on most of the waters across the state. We mainly target Barkley and Kentucky lakes and several smaller waters that dot the state. We fish using most common techniques and then some. These trips will start at daylight and will run 8 hours. We will conduct bass fishing trips from February through July.

Night time Largemouth Bass - These trips will begin at 6pm and commence around 2am. This trip will involve mostly crankbait and spinnerbait fishing. We will make this trip throughout the months of June, July and August.

Summer jumps for white bass - This trip involves sighting schools of white bass coming up in jumps and moving to toward them and casting into the jumps. This is a fast paced, action packed trip. Light tackle using top-water or shallow running baits are used.

Bowfishing for Roughfish - This is a favorite and always provides action. This trip will be based on backwater sloughs or on various lakes across the state. Typically these trips are conducted April through June.
