Identity VerifiedIdentity VerifiedGuidesly Guarantee

If you're seeking an angler's paradise, Chattanooga, Tennessee is the place to be, and Tennessee River Adventures is ready to be your gateway to the captivating world of fishing in the scenic Tennessee River. Your seasoned guide for this aquatic expedition is none other than Captain Aaron Massey, a man with years of angling expertise to ensure you have an unforgettable fishing experience.


The Tennessee River boasts an incredible variety of fish species, with Catfish and White Bass being among the most sought-after catches. With a little luck, you won't have to wait long to feel the thrill of your line tugging under the water's surface. The methods you'll employ to hook into these incredible fish are as diverse as the river itself, ranging from spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, to potentially something more specialized that this region has to offer. Depending on your preferences and the season, Captain Aaron will help you choose the best strategy.


A unique aspect of Tennessee River Adventures is that you are permitted to keep some of the fish you catch, assuming they meet the local regulations. This can make your fishing excursion not only exciting but also rewarding.


If you're planning a family adventure, kids are absolutely welcome! It's advisable to inquire about the availability of child-sized life vests in advance, but if not, be sure to bring your own. And remember, snacks are never a bad idea, as they can help keep everyone's energy up and avoid crankiness due to an empty stomach.


You'll be casting your lines from a comfortable 24' SeaArk bay boat with a capacity for up to 4 passengers, ensuring a personalized and intimate experience. This fishing vessel comes equipped with all the essentials no fishing expedition can do without. Captain Aaron will provide you with rods, reels, and a selection of lures, ensuring you have the right gear for the job. As for live bait, it's available, but it's always a good idea to ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.


It's essential to purchase a local fishing license, which is usually available online or through the captain. Some specific species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so be sure to get informed and adhere to local regulations to protect the river's delicate ecosystem. Remember to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. You can drink alcohol in moderation, but avoid strong liquor and glass bottles for safety and fun.

This journey exceeded my expectations for landing large blue catfish on the Tennessee River. We reeled in some true monsters, along with our fair share of smaller catfish as well.

Captain Aaron Massey took me and my wife out on our first trip on the Tennessee river. I couldn’t of have ask for a better experience. He knows what he is doing and will make sure that you are satisfied before your trip is over.

If you are ready for an amazing adventure with an easy going and knowledgeable guide, Captian Aaron Massey at Tennessee River Adventures is your guy. After a seamless early morning launch he placed us in a spot perfect to catch early morning fish while watching a scenic sunrise. As the day progressed the fish kept getting bigger. Captian Massey guided me to a new personal best for blue catfish! He had great tips that helped assure the fish got into the boat. Also, his boat is equipped with a canopy which allowed us stay cool throughout the day. I’m already planning my return trip with Captian Massey and Tennessee River Adventures. This is a day I will always remember!!
