8hour charter targets largemouth and smallmouth bassAll skill levels welcome with tackle includedHighperformance Triton boat with expert captain guidance
Get ready for eight solid hours chasing bass across prime lake waters with Captain Norman Lee. Whether you're picking up a rod for the first time or you've been casting lines for decades, this charter's designed to put you on fish. We're talking serious bass territory here – both largemouth and smallmouth call these waters home, and they're hungry. You'll fish from a top-rated Triton bass boat that gets you to the hotspots fast and quiet. Everything's included, from tackle to technique tips, so all you need to bring is your fishing license and maybe some snacks if you get hungry between bites.
This isn't your typical half-day quickie – we're committed to a full eight hours of serious fishing time. Captain Norman knows these lake structures like the back of his hand, from shallow weed beds where largemouth love to ambush prey to rocky drop-offs where smallmouth patrol. The Triton bass boat is rigged with everything you need: quality rods, fresh tackle, and fish-finding electronics that'll show us exactly where the bass are holding. You'll learn to read the water, understand seasonal patterns, and pick up casting techniques that work in real fishing situations. The captain adjusts his approach based on your skill level – beginners get hands-on instruction while experienced anglers can focus on refining advanced techniques. With just two spots available, you get personalized attention that makes a real difference in your success rate.
We fish smart here, matching our approach to current conditions and bass behavior. Depending on the season and weather, you might be throwing topwater lures over shallow cover, working soft plastics along bottom structure, or cranking diving baits through the mid-water column. The boat's equipped with both spinning and baitcasting setups, so you can fish with what feels comfortable or learn something new. Captain Norman carries a world-class selection of proven bass baits – everything from classic spinnerbaits and jigs to the latest soft plastic innovations. You'll learn when to finesse fish with light line presentations and when to power fish heavy cover with stout tackle. The fish finder and GPS help us stay on productive water, but reading visual cues like bird activity, baitfish schools, and surface disturbances often leads to the best action.
Largemouth bass are the lake's signature species and the reason many anglers keep coming back. These green machines average 2-4 pounds but regularly push into trophy territory, especially during spring and fall feeding periods. Largemouth relate heavily to cover – fallen trees, weed edges, boat docks, and rocky points all hold fish throughout the year. They're aggressive predators that'll smash topwater baits on calm mornings and crush jigs pitched into heavy cover. Spring spawn brings the biggest females into shallow water, while summer heat drives them to deeper structure and shade. What makes largemouth so addictive is their fighting style – they jump, they run, and they use every bit of cover to try breaking your line.
Smallmouth bass bring a different kind of excitement to every trip. Pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighting freshwater fish you'll encounter. These bronze fighters prefer rocky areas, gravel points, and current breaks where they can ambush crayfish and baitfish. Smallmouth typically run smaller than largemouth but make up for size with pure attitude – they'll drag your rod tip underwater and strip line like they're twice their actual weight. Late spring through early fall offers the most consistent action, when water temperatures keep them active and aggressive. Tubes, grubs, and small crankbaits are smallmouth magnets, especially when worked slowly along bottom structure. The lake's clear water means smallmouth can be finicky, but when you dial in the right presentation, they'll reward you with non-stop action.

Micropterus SalmoidesLargemouth bass are the kings of our lake, averaging 12-24 inches with some real hawgs pushing 4-6 pounds. They love thick cover - weed beds, fallen trees, and shallow muddy areas where they can ambush prey. Their oversized mouth can swallow surprisingly big baitfish, frogs, even small birds. Spring through fall are your best bets, especially early morning and evening when they're actively feeding. What gets anglers hooked? That explosive topwater strike and the fight they put up jumping clear out of the water. Plus they're great eating when caught from clean water like ours. Pro tip: throw something with red in it - they're drawn to that color like crazy. A red spinnerbait around cover in 3-8 feet of water is money.
Micropterus DolomieuSmallmouth bass are scrappy fighters that'll test your skills on every hookset. These bronze-colored fish typically run 12-18 inches and love rocky bottoms and clear water. You'll find them around drop-offs, boulder fields, and submerged structure. Spring and fall are prime time when they're active in shallow water, but summer means going deep where it's cooler. What makes them special? Pure fight - they'll jump, run, and give you everything they've got pound for pound. The meat's firm and tasty too, with a clean flavor that beats most freshwater fish. Here's a tip that works: try a tube jig bounced along rocky bottom in 15-20 feet of water during summer. Keep it slow and feel for that subtle tick - that's usually your fish.
