Nick Shirley, Captain at The Salted Hook Fishing Guide Service

Captain Nick, a seasoned expert in navigating the waters of Cumming, Georgia, is ready to provide an exceptional fishing experience tailored to both seasoned anglers and newcomers alike. With extensive knowledge and a deep passion for fishing, Captain Nick leads Salted Hook Fishing Charters, committed to delivering therapeutic and exhilarating fishing excursions. Whether you're looking to master techniques such as trolling or explore unique methods specific to the region, Captain Nick and his crew are prepared to guide you every step of the way. The best way to grasp these techniques and truly enjoy the sport is to experience it firsthand on the water with them.


The waters around Cumming are celebrated for their rich variety of fish species, including Striped Bass, Spotted Bass, Largemouth Bass, Catfish, and Alligator Gar, among others. Depending on your fishing goals and the species you're targeting, your trip may involve light tackle fishing, trolling, or specialized techniques suited to these waters. Captain Nick ensures that each fishing trip is tailored to maximize your chances of a successful catch while enjoying the stunning natural surroundings.


Your adventure will take place aboard a 24-foot Skiff, a well-equipped vessel that comfortably accommodates up to six passengers. This boat is outfitted with all the essentials needed for a productive day of fishing, including rods and reels provided by Captain Nick. Live bait is available if desired, but it's important to check in advance whether you'll need to catch it yourself or if it will be supplied for you.


Before embarking on your fishing trip, it's necessary for everyone in your group to secure a local fishing license. This can typically be obtained online or through Captain Nick, who can provide guidance on the licensing process. Be aware of any species-specific regulations or special tags that may be required to ensure a compliant and enjoyable experience.


For a comfortable and enjoyable day on the water, remember to bring essential items such as non-spray sunscreen, a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. While drinks are provided free of charge, alcohol is permitted in moderation—please avoid hard liquor and glass bottles for safety reasons. Light snacks will also be available on board to keep everyone energized throughout the day.


Captain Nick and his crew are dedicated to ensuring every fishing trip is an unforgettable adventure. Create lasting memories and realize your fishing dreams with us!!

Really great dudes helping out doing their best trying to get anyone on some fish! Took a while but that’s why they call it fishing not catching but they sure do try! And the one thing I like about them is they allow you to cast and reel instead of just trolling and waiting for them to hit the bait! 10 out of 10 experience of a life time can’t wait to do it again but when they are more active! The hunt is still on! But anyone trying to do a fishing guide services definitely the people to do it! Love the effort and dedication they try to put you on fish!

One of the best fishing guide i had a chance to fish with. They are always try to put you on the best spot and using different methodes to maximise the chances to catch. Nice friendly persionalities to spend the day with. The boat is well equipped the fishing gear is always up to date so there is a good chance to land a big fish if you hook into one. Highly reccomended 5* service. I’ll definetly use them again.
