Heron Outdoor Adventures specializes in getting you out on the water and making memories and catching fish, all while teaching you something new, including your hopeful contribution to the conservation of our natural resources. Captain Joseph Martinelli has been an avid fisherman for over 40 years. He finds the greatest joy in teaching a child or adult how to fish, even if it is for the first time. He cater to beginners, novice and avid or advanced fishers. No matter your skill level, he promises to teach you something new and exciting!

Captain Joseph specializes in Striped Bass and Hybrid Bass, Spotted Bass and Crappie fishing year-round, along with many other popular species of the North Georgia foothills.
