Planning a getaway is easy when a Lenoir City bass fishing guide like Captain William “Billy” Clabough is ready to show you the hidden corners of East Tennessee’s lakes and rivers. His trips are tailored for anglers chasing thrills and scenery alike, turning ordinary vacations into unforgettable East Tennessee fishing trips that blend local know‑how with southern hospitality.

Your adventure unfolds aboard Captain Billy’s 21’ Excel Catfish Pro—a roomy, US‑Coast‑Guard‑compliant vessel powered by a 150 HP Suzuki and armed with GPS fish‑finding tech plus a self‑deploying Minn Kota Ulterra trolling motor. With space for three guests, everyone can cast comfortably while the electronics pinpoint productive structure.

Although catfish headline most outings, the waterways here also hold striped bass, drum, and that coveted Tennessee bucket‑list prize—largemouth bass fishing Tennessee enthusiasts rave about. You’ll experiment with heavy‑tackle bottom rigs, controlled drifts, and purposeful trolling until that rod doubles over. Keep a cooler iced down if you plan to take a few eaters home, but trophy fish go back to fight another day.
