Q. Can you guarantee that we catch fish on our trip?
A. Though we do have a pretty high success rate,
somedays the fish just do not cooperate. Even if the
bite is slow you will gain alot of knowledge that may
help you in the future.
Q. What kind of trips do you offer?
A. We offer full day(8 hrs) and half day(4 hrs)
fishing trips. Trips typically begin around first light.
We are more than willing to tailor our services to
meet your needs, just ask. We typically have our
clients meet us at the boat ramp.
Q. When is the best time to take a fishing trip?
A. We offer trips year around. Contrary to
popular belief, fishing can be excellent all year long,
even during the coldest months of the year.
Personally, Fall and Winter are my favorite times to
fish but we catch them every month of the year. Each
season requires a different approach but plenty of
fish get caught.
Q. Can we keep the fish that we catch?
A. To promote conservation, all largemouth bass
will be released alive. Other species may be kept as
long as they are of legal size. In the case of trophy
fish, we can take measurments and multiple
photographs which your taxidermist can use to
produce a replica mount.
Q. Do I need any fishing experience?
A. No experience is needed. We can provide
everything needed to fish, all you need is a fishing
license. We can teach those who may be new to bass
fishing how to catch fish on artificial lures. We can
also educate more experienced anglers on the finer
points of certain techniques.
Q. Is a fishing license required?
A. Yes, clients must provide their own North
Carolina fishing license. They may be checked at
anytime by a NCWRC officer. Click here to purchase
your license online, it can be printed and used
instantly.
Q. Does the guide fish during the trip?
A. Yes, the guide will fish some unless the client
states otherwise. It will help the guide determine the
best game plan for a successful day.
Q. What do I need to bring with me?
A. Bring anything that you wish to eat or drink (no
alcohol or illegal substances will be tolerated), ice
will be provided in the boat's cooler. Dress
accordingly for the weather, we still fish in rain and
cold conditions (usually great fishing days). Also
bring any personal gear that you wish to use.
Sunscreen is a good idea since the sun can be intense
and there is rarely any shade on a bass boat.
Q. What is provided by the guide?
A. Tackle, ice, fuel, digital photos of fish if
requested. We also provide life jackets, we strongly
recommend that they be worn anytime the big motor is
running. Federal law requires anyone on the boat
under 13 years of age to wear a life jacket at all
times. We require that Life Jackets be worn at all
times by non swimmers, this will ensure that everyone
makes it back safely.
Q. What kind of fish can we catch?
A. Our primary focus is largemouth bass, however at
times striped bass and white bass can provide some
exciting fishing opportunities. You never know what
you might catch.
Q. How many people can you accomodate?
A. We can carry two anglers and the guide. If
needed we can arrange for an additional boat and
guide (Other guide's rate will apply for the second
boat).
Q. What kind of bait do you use?
A. We fish only with artificial lures.
