Ready to reel in some monster bass on Tennessee's top-notch waters? BRD Outdoors Guide Service has you covered with our half-day guided bass fishing trip. We're talking four solid hours of casting, hooking, and hauling in Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted Bass from some of the sweetest fishing spots in the state. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, our expert guides will put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. Grab a buddy and let's hit the water!
Picture this: You and a friend, out on a sleek bass boat, surrounded by Tennessee's gorgeous scenery. Our half-day trip is the perfect way to squeeze in some quality fishing without eating up your whole day. We'll cruise to the hottest bass hangouts, switching up techniques to match what the fish are biting. Our guides know these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for some serious action. And don't worry if you're new to bass fishing – we'll walk you through everything from casting to setting the hook. It's all about having fun and hopefully landing that trophy bass you've been dreaming about.
Once we push off from the dock, it's game on. We'll start by hitting some prime bass territory – maybe some submerged timber, weed edges, or rocky points. Your guide will get you set up with the right gear for the conditions. Could be tossing soft plastics, working a crankbait, or finessing a jig – whatever's getting the bass fired up that day. We're flexible, so if one spot isn't producing, we'll motor over to the next honey hole. And don't sweat it if you're not a pro caster. Our guides are patient teachers who love seeing clients improve their skills. By the end of the trip, you'll be working that rod like a champ.
Folks book with us time and time again because we deliver the goods. It's not just about catching fish (though we do plenty of that). It's the whole package – the thrill of the hunt, the peacefulness of being on the water, and the rush when that big bass finally hits. Our guides aren't just skilled anglers; they're fun to be around and full of local knowledge. They'll keep you entertained with fish stories and maybe even let you in on a few local secrets. Plus, we use top-notch gear and boats, so you know you're getting a quality experience from start to finish.
Largemouth Bass: The king of the bass world, these bruisers can tip the scales at over 10 pounds in Tennessee waters. They love to hang out near structure – fallen trees, dock pilings, and weed beds are prime territory. In the spring and fall, you might find them in shallower water, while they tend to go deep during the hot summer months. There's nothing quite like the explosion of a big largemouth smashing a topwater lure at dawn.
Smallmouth Bass: Don't let the name fool you – these bronze bombers punch way above their weight class. Pound for pound, they're some of the hardest fighting fish in freshwater. Smallies prefer cooler, clearer water and are often found around rocky areas and current. They're absolute suckers for a well-presented jig or tube bait. When a big smallmouth decides to take your lure for a ride, hang on tight!
Spotted Bass: Also known as Kentucky Bass, these guys are like the scrappy cousins of largemouth and smallmouth. They tend to school up more than their relatives, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch. Spots love deep, clear reservoirs and will hit a variety of lures. They might not get as big as largemouth, but what they lack in size they make up for in attitude. A day targeting spots can mean non-stop action.
This year has been red hot for bass fishing in Tennessee. We've seen some real beauties come over the gunwales. Just last week, one of our clients landed a 7-pound largemouth that put up a fight worthy of a fishing show. Smallmouth action has been stellar too, with several 4-pounders giving anglers the run of their lives. And let's not forget the day we hit a school of spotted bass so thick, it was like they were fighting each other to get to our lures first. With the fall bite ramping up, we're expecting even more epic catches in the coming weeks.
Alright, folks, if you're itching to get out on the water and tangle with some Tennessee bass, now's the time to lock in your trip. Our half-day excursions are perfect for squeezing in some prime fishing time without breaking the bank or your schedule. Whether you're looking to learn some new techniques, finally land that personal best, or just enjoy a morning on the water with a buddy, we've got you covered. Remember, the best days on the calendar fill up fast, especially during peak seasons. So don't wait – give us a shout and let's get you booked for the bass fishing adventure of a lifetime. The fish are waiting, and so are we!
Largemouth bass are the heavyweights of Tennessee's bass family, often reaching 2-10 pounds. You'll find them lurking around submerged logs, weed beds, and dock pilings in our lakes and slow-moving rivers. These ambush predators are known for their explosive strikes and acrobatic fights. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but you can catch them year-round. Anglers love targeting largemouth for their size and the challenge they present. They're not the brightest fish in the lake, but they can be stubborn. A local trick: when the bass aren't biting, try a slow-rolled spinnerbait near cover. The flash and vibration can trigger strikes from even the most tight-lipped largemouth. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-timer, hooking into one of these green-backed bruisers is sure to get your heart racing.

Smallmouth bass are the pound-for-pound champions of Tennessee's waters, typically weighing 1-4 pounds but fighting like they're twice that size. These bronze bombers thrive in our cool, clear streams and rivers with rocky bottoms. You'll find them hanging around current breaks, boulders, and deep pools. Smallies are most active in spring and fall, but can be caught year-round if you know where to look. Anglers prize smallmouth for their acrobatic fights and the scenic waters they call home. These fish are known for their strength and stamina – hooking one often leads to a memorable battle. A local secret: when the water's low and clear in late summer, try tossing small topwater poppers near rocky shorelines at dawn. The explosive strikes can be heart-stopping. Whether you're wading a mountain stream or drifting a big river, tangling with a trophy smallmouth is an experience you won't soon forget.

Spotted bass are the scrappy middleweights of Tennessee's bass scene, typically running 1-4 pounds. These feisty fighters prefer clearer, rockier waters than their largemouth cousins. Look for them around underwater points, drop-offs, and rocky banks in our reservoirs and rivers. Spots are known for their aggressive nature and tendency to school up, making for some fast action when you find them. They're great targets year-round, but really shine in late summer when other bass species slow down. Anglers enjoy the spotted bass for its hard-fighting spirit and the challenge of finding them. They're not as common as largemouth, so landing one feels like a real accomplishment. Here's a tip: when you're after spots, don't be afraid to go deep. A drop-shot rig with a small finesse worm can be deadly, especially when worked slowly along rocky structure.
