I have been fishing all my life. I grew up in Virginia fishing the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers for just about everything. Smallmouth bass to giant catfish and Striper. Over the last 9 years, I was a guide in Tampa Bay and in the summers I would guide in Alaska for Salmon and trout.
Now I have moved to East Tennessee, North of Chattanooga where my last guiding adventures will begin. There are 2 major Dams in my area. Chickamauga and Watts Bar Dam. Both offer fantastic Fishing and a chance at a fish of a lifetime!
You will be fishing from a luxurious 2022 24' SeaArk Big Easy with all new equipment, tackle, and electronics to find and land your trophy. Don’t forget to buy a fishing license before the trip!
You will fish the famous TN river in eastern Tennessee in the Chattanooga area for large Blue and Flathead catfish. There are also Striper in the River near the dams where we will catch our bait. After bait is caught we will motor down river to find your new personal best catfish. 4 and 6-hour Charters are available for up to 4 people max.
Any legal species you catch throughout the trip can be kept. While there will be free drinks available for your convenience during the tour, you are welcome to bring your own food and/or beverages. Ready for a family vacation? Bring your loved ones to our family-friendly business to join in these experiences.

Vehicle Details
Wintering in Florida is fun and challenging for fishing. Lots of high winds this year and it has affected the fishing season. We got on some nice fish inshore and offshore. We’re heading back to Tennessee in a couple weeks. I’m ready to get on some striper and big cats.
Tennessee fishing guides, take note! The Blue Catfish bite at Watts Bar Dam has been excellent in the past week. Despite the relatively cold water temperature, the catfish are actively feeding and can be caught using a variety of techniques. To increase your chances of success, try using the best catfish bait available. Early morning and late evening have been the most productive times to fish for Blue Catfish at Watts Bar Dam, with the bite slowing down as the day heats up. If you want to make the most of your trip, consider charter fishing with a Tennessee fishing guide, who can offer expert advice and take you to the best spots for catching catfish. And don't forget to bring plenty of water and sunscreen to stay hydrated and protected from the intense sun.
