If you’re ready for a great day of fishing around Charlotte, NC, Captain Jake’s Guide Service is here to make it happen. With access to Lake Wylie and Lake Wateree, you’ll enjoy some of the best freshwater fishing in the Carolinas with a captain who has been fishing these waters his entire life. Captain Jake grew up learning from his grandfather, who guided before him, and he carries those same values of patience, teaching, and making every trip personal. He believes a fishing charter should be more than just a quick outing. It should be a chance to learn, laugh, and create memories that bring people back to the water again and again.
On each trip, you’ll target Striped Bass, Blue Catfish, and Crappie depending on the season and what is biting best that day. South Carolina regulations mean there’s no minimum size limit for Stripers on these waters, which gives you more opportunity to experience steady action and the excitement of setting the hook. Whether you’re looking for a cooler full of fish or the chance to battle a trophy, you’ll be in the right place. These lakes offer strong year-round fishing thanks to deep channels, healthy forage, and reliable seasonal patterns.
You’ll be fishing from a brand-new 2025 SeaArk ProCat 240 powered by a Yamaha 250 SHO. It’s designed for space, stability, and comfort, giving groups of up to six anglers plenty of room to fish. All top-quality tackle and bait are provided along with a cooler full of ice for drinks and snacks. Just bring your sunglasses, sunscreen, anything you’d like to eat, and a cooler for any catch you want to keep. Kids are always welcome, and Captain Jake loves helping young anglers land their very first fish.
Your trip can be a half day or full day, starting at 8:00 AM with optional afternoon departures for four-hour trips. You’ll meet at Nivens Landing on Lake Wylie or River Road on Lake Wateree. Before you arrive, make sure everyone has a valid South Carolina freshwater fishing license, which can be purchased online in just a few minutes.
With a 25-ton Master Captain license and more than 20 years of experience, Captain Jake knows how to put you on fish and show you a great time doing it. Beginners, families, and experienced anglers all fit right in on board. Book today and discover why anglers keep returning to fish with Captain Jake’s Guide Service. When the rods bend and the smiles show up, you’ll know you chose the right captain for the job.
