The sun's warming up, there's a slight ripple on the water, and you can feel the excitement building. That's what you're in for with our half-day bass fishing trip.

Casting and Catching 101

On this trip, we're all about adapting to what the fish want. Depending on the season and conditions, we might be flipping jigs under overhanging trees, working topwater lures across points, or slow-rolling spinnerbaits along weed edges. Our guides are masters at reading the water and will clue you in on why we're using certain techniques. We provide all the gear, from rods and reels to the latest in bass-catching lures. But if you've got a lucky rod you just can't leave behind, feel free to bring it along. We'll be fishing from a comfortable, stable boat that's perfect for getting into those hard-to-reach honey holes where the big bass like to hide.

Bass Breakdown

Tennessee is a bass angler's paradise, and on this trip, we're targeting the trifecta of Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted Bass. Each species has its own personality and challenges, making for an exciting day on the water.

Largemouth Bass are the heavyweights of the bunch. These bruisers can grow up to 10 pounds or more in Tennessee waters. They love to hang out near structure like fallen trees, docks, and weed beds. When a big largemouth hits your lure, hold on tight – they're known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps. Spring and fall are prime times for trophy largemouth, but we catch them year-round.

Smallmouth Bass, or "smallies" as we call them, might not get as big as their largemouth cousins, but what they lack in size, they make up for in fight. Pound for pound, these bronze battlers are some of the hardest-fighting fish in freshwater. They prefer cooler, moving water, so we often target them in rivers or near drop-offs in lakes. A 3-4 pound smallmouth will give you a run for your money, testing your drag and your skills.

Spotted Bass, also known as Kentucky Bass, are the often-overlooked gems of Tennessee bass fishing. They're like a mix between Largemouth and Smallmouth, both in looks and behavior. Spots love deep, clear water and rocky structure. They're aggressive feeders and will often hit lures intended for other species. While they don't typically grow as large as Largemouth, a good-sized Spotted Bass can still put a serious bend in your rod.
