How does our No Fish - No Pay Policy work ?

First of all, I'm the only guide in Tennessee that makes this promise. I spend many hours patterning fish and bait activity before your arrival.I WILL BE PREPARED TO PUT YOU ON FISH. If for some unbelievable reason we don't catch any fish; then you owe me nothing other than your $100.00 deposit to cover my gas and time. You shouldn't have to pay a guide who doesn't put you on fish.

*** No Pay Policy only applies to Catfish Fishing ***

 What fish do we catch?

Stripers ranging from 15 to 50 pounds & Catfish ranging from 5 to 100 pounds.

 When is the best time of year to catch fish?

Striper fishing is excellent from March all through December. Catfish fishing is excellent from march to late-May and from August through December.

How much is it going to cost me?

A 6 hour trip will cost you 400.00 for 1 or 2 people. $100 must be paid upfront as your deposit and the balance due on day of trip. 2 Day Trip is $750.00
