Hey there, fellow anglers! Ready to hit some of the best bass waters Tennessee has to offer? BRD Outdoors Guide Service has got you covered with our full-day guided bass fishing trip. We're talking prime spots for Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted Bass that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, our "Small Water Trip" is eight solid hours of pure fishing bliss. So grab your hat and let's dive into what makes this trip a must-do for any bass enthusiast!
Picture this: You're out on a pristine Tennessee lake or river, the morning mist just lifting off the water. Your guide's got the boat positioned perfectly, and you're about to make that first cast. That's how we kick off our full-day bass fishing adventures. We're not just talking any old fishing trip here – this is your chance to tangle with some of the South's most prized gamefish. Our expert guides know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're itching to put you on the fish. We keep things simple and fun, focusing on what matters most – catching bass and having a blast doing it.
Alright, let's talk tactics. On our Small Water Trips, we're all about adapting to what the bass want on any given day. Sometimes we'll be flipping jigs into tight cover, other times we might be working topwater lures across points. Our guides are pros at reading the water and the weather, so we'll switch it up to keep those bass biting. We provide all the gear you need, top-notch stuff that'll give you the edge when that big one decides to strike. And don't worry if you're new to this – we'll walk you through everything from setting the hook to landing that lunker.
Let's chat about the stars of the show – the bass themselves. In Tennessee, we've got a trifecta of bass that'll test your skills and make your reel sing.
Largemouth Bass: These are the bruisers of the bunch. They love to hang out in weedy areas and around structure. When a big Largemouth hits, hold on tight! They can grow upwards of 10 pounds in these parts, and they're known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Spring and fall are prime times to target these guys, but we catch 'em year-round.
Smallmouth Bass: Don't let the name fool you – Smallies fight like they're twice their size. These bronze backs are often found in cooler, rockier areas of our lakes and rivers. They're absolute acrobats when hooked, known for their leaps and somersaults. Late spring and early fall are fantastic for Smallmouth action, but they'll keep you on your toes any time of year.
Spotted Bass: These are the speedsters of the bass world. Spots are often found in deeper, clearer water than their cousins. They might not get as big as Largemouth, but what they lack in size they make up for in feistiness. They're great fun on light tackle and often school up, so when you find one, you might just find a whole bunch!
There's something special about bass fishing in Tennessee that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the thrill of that first bite of the day, or the way the sun glints off the water as you're reeling in a fighter. Our guests often tell us it's the whole package – the scenery, the peace and quiet (until a bass blows up on your lure), and the chance to learn new techniques from our guides. Plus, there's always the possibility of hooking into that personal best. Every cast could be the one that lands you a wall-hanger!
Alright, folks, here's the deal – if you're itching to get out on the water and tangle with some Tennessee bass, we've got your ticket.

Largemouth bass are the heavyweights of Tennessee's waters, usually running 12 to 24 inches and 1 to 4.5 pounds. You'll find them hanging out in weedy, shallow areas of lakes and ponds. These fish are ambush predators - they'll wait in cover for prey to swim by. Spring and fall are prime times to land a lunker, when they're in shallower water. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights. To entice a bite, try working a plastic worm slowly along the bottom near submerged logs or weed edges. One local trick: on sunny days, flip jigs into shady spots under docks or overhanging trees. The bass often retreat there to cool off and are suckers for an easy meal dropped right on their nose. Whether you're after a trophy or just want to tangle with a hard-fighting fish, largemouth bass deliver an exciting day on the water.

Smallmouth bass are the acrobats of Tennessee's waters, typically running 12-20 inches and 2-3 pounds. You'll find them in clear, cool rivers and lakes with rocky bottoms. These fish are scrappy fighters that love to jump when hooked. Spring and fall are prime times, but early mornings and evenings work well in summer too. Anglers prize smallies for their hard-fighting nature and tasty fillets. To entice a strike, try working a tube jig or crawfish imitation along rocky shorelines and points. Here's a local secret: when the water's low and clear in late summer, toss small topwater lures around boulders early in the morning. The smallies will often smash them right on the surface. Whether you're after a trophy or just want non-stop action, smallmouth bass offer some of the most exciting fishing you'll find in freshwater.

Spotted bass are the scrappy cousins of largemouth, usually topping out around 2-3 pounds. Look for them in clear, rocky areas of rivers and reservoirs - they love hanging around underwater structure. These fish school up more than other bass, so if you catch one, there's likely more nearby. Spring and fall are great times to target spots as they move shallow. Anglers dig 'em for their aggressive nature and feisty fights. To get 'em biting, try bouncing a small crankbait or jig off rocky points and ledges. Here's a local tip: when the water's clear, downsize your line and lures. Spots have sharper eyes than their cousins and can be line-shy. Whether you're after numbers or just want consistent action, spotted bass are a blast to catch and will keep you on your toes all day.
