Nolin Lake Mixed Bag: Bluegill & Bass Bonanza with Captain Chris

One for the books today! I took Tony and their crew out for a summer fishing adventure on Nolin Lake with Boating Adventures with Captain Chris. We set off in the early morning under partly cloudy skies, with a hint of excitement in the air as strong storms were possible later. The water conditions were prime for a day of lake fishing near Harned, KY. Once the stage was set, we got down to business, employing a mix of techniques to target the lake's diverse fish population. We started with some bottom fishing, which proved effective for enticing the bluegill. As we moved along, we switched gears and tried our hand at trolling, covering more water and increasing our chances of hooking into some of Nolin Lake's famous largemouth bass. The crew got into the rhythm quickly, and before long, we were also casting crankbaits towards promising spots. While we didn't land any monsters this time, the steady action kept us engaged throughout the trip. We wrapped up our outing with smiles all around, having enjoyed a solid day on the water with a mix of bluegill and largemouth bass to show for our efforts. If you're thinking about coming out to Nolin Lake for some quality fishing, you're in for a treat. Our Nolin Lake Fishing Trips offer a 6-hour charter that's perfect for anglers looking to experience the best of what this Kentucky gem has to offer. Whether you're after bass, crappie, or white bass, we've got the knowledge and gear to put you on the fish. The lake's diverse structure and abundant fish population make it an ideal spot for both novice and experienced anglers alike. For those interested in Fishing In Nolin Lake: Catch Bass, Crappie Or White Bass, Boating Adventures with Captain Chris has you covered. We provide all the necessary equipment and expertise to make your trip successful and enjoyable. Our early morning starts give us the best shot at the prime fishing windows, and our flexible approach means we can adapt to the conditions and the fish's behavior on any given day. From bottom fishing for panfish to trolling and casting for bass, we'll work hard to ensure you experience the full range of what Nolin Lake has to offer. Don't miss out on the chance to create lasting memories and potentially land your personal best on these productive waters. Give us a call to book your Nolin Lake fishing adventure – the fish are waiting, and so are we!

Bountiful Catch on Rough River: Bass, Cats, and Scenic Views

Hot bite and happy crew! The fishing in Harned, KY is great, with plenty of bass and catfish in the nearby river, and the scenery is beautiful, making for a very peaceful day out. I took Rob and their crew out on a Rough River Lake Fishing Charters | 6 Hour Charter Trip with Boating Adventures with Captain Chris in June, starting our day at 6:00 am. Once the stage was set, we got to work using a variety of techniques, including live bait fishing, bottom fishing, and trolling. The Bluegill, Wiper (Hybrid striped bass), and Striped Bass we caught were perfectly suited for the Rough River Lake environment. The Striped Bass measured 24 inches, and the Wiper (Hybrid striped bass) came in at 16 inches - a great day on the water! If you're thinking about coming out to Rough River Lake for some world-class fishing, I'd highly recommend booking a Fish Bass, Crappie Or Hybrids On Rough River Lake trip with Boating Adventures with Captain Chris. Our 6 Hour Charter Trips provide ample time to target a variety of species in this beautiful, peaceful setting. I'd be honored to guide you and your crew and help you experience the incredible fishing Harned, KY has to offer. Give us a call today to start planning your adventure!

Reeling in the Adventure: 6-Hour Fishing Excursion on Rough River Lake

It was a beautiful day on the water at Rough River Lake in Breckinridge County, Kentucky as I welcomed Donald for our 6-Hour Rough River Lake Fishing Charter. May is a prime time for fishing these central Kentucky waters, with the bass and hybrid striped bass (wiper) really getting active as the weather warms up. We got set up with a variety of techniques - jigging, trolling, baitcasting, heavy tackle, and light tackle - to cover different depths and target the various species in the lake. The partly cloudy skies and light rain that cleared later in the day made for perfect fishing conditions, and the water was in great shape as we headed out. It didn't take long before the action heated up. Donald hooked into a feisty Wiper that put up a fantastic fight, stripping line and making some aerial acrobatics before we were able to get it in the boat. Shortly after, he followed that up with a nice Largemouth Bass that fell for a jig we were working along a submerged ledge. The bite stayed strong throughout the day, and we had a blast constantly switching up our presentations to stay on the fish. This was exactly the kind of trip that makes fishing on Rough River Lake so special. The diverse fishery means you never know what's going to be on the other end of the line, and the beautiful scenery and comfortable weather make it an absolute joy to be out on the water. If you're looking to experience some of the best bass and hybrid striped bass fishing Kentucky has to offer, be sure to book a Rough River Lake Fishing Charter with Boating Adventures with Captain Chris. We'll put you on the fish and make sure you have an unforgettable day on the water.

Captain Chris was fantastic!! From booking to boating, nothing short of amazing. First time tubing and knee boarding for most of us, we couldn’t have done it without captain Chris! We had the best girls day and cannot wait to book again! Thanks so much!

July 26, 2025

I got the opportunity to spend a day on the water with Chris this past weekend. We fished a tournament together on Cumberland lake me as his Co-angler. It was a wonderful experience and he put me on fish so I was able to place in the tournament. Aside from the fishing, he was a pleasure to be around and learn from. I hope to get the chance to fish with him again. Thanks Capt, Chris, and good luck this weekend.

Five Stars All Around – The Perfect Fishing Charter Experience! I can’t say enough great things about our experience with Captain Chris Fishing Guide! From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, friendliness, and a genuine passion for fishing. Captain Chris is incredibly knowledgeable, not just about the best fishing spots but he made us feel welcome and comfortable the moment we stepped aboard. The boat itself was spotless, well-equipped, and clearly maintained with care — plenty of room to fish, relax, and enjoy the day.  What really set this trip apart was the personal touch. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, he tailored the experience to make sure everyone has a fantastic time. We caught a number of hybrid fish along with a couple bass we tossed back and had an absolute blast doing it. Captain Chris even helped us clean and prep our catch to take home — a big bonus! If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water with someone that knows their stuff and genuinely loves what they do, look no further. Boating Adventures w Captain Chris is the real deal. Can’t wait to book our next trip!
