Frequently Asked Questions

Do you take trips with kids?

We love taking kids fishing! We generally recommend ages 5 and up, but it depends on the child. Our guides will handle the casting, baiting, and coaching as needed so kids can focus on having fun. Kids must be accompanied by an adult.

​

How many people can you accommodate?

Bass trips are best for one to three anglers. Constant casting and the size of a bass boat make smaller groups the safest and most enjoyable option. Striper trips can accommodate larger groups depending on the guide and boat. Contact us for group options.

​

Do you provide rods, reels, and tackle?

Yes! We provide premium rods, reels, tackle, bait (when applicable), and all required safety equipment.

​

What if I've never fished before?

No problem. Our guides enjoy teaching anglers of all experience levels, from complete beginners to seasoned fishermen.

​

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety is always our top priority. We fish in rain and wind, so trips are only canceled for unsafe conditions such as lightning, heavy downpours, or high sustained winds. If we have to cancel due to weather, we'll first work with you to reschedule. If we can't find a new date, you'll receive a full refund.

​

What's your cancellation policy?

A $100 deposit is required to reserve your trip. Deposits are fully refundable up to 48 hours before your scheduled trip. Cancellations within 48 hours forfeit the deposit, and same-day cancellations or no-shows will be charged the full trip price. We understand life happens, though, and whenever possible we'll do our best to work with you on rescheduling.

​

What species do you target?

We are mostly known for largemouth bass, but we also fish for striped bass, crappie, and northern snakehead (coming soon). We also offer electronics training, Lake Anna breakdown sessions, and boating instruction.

​

Can we keep the fish we catch?

Largemouth bass trips are strictly catch-and-release. Striped bass and crappie may be harvested within regulations.

​

How long are your trips?

We offer both half-day and full-day trips. Half-day trips are 4 hours and often kick off early morning or in the evening timed to conclude around sunset. Half-day trips are perfect for hot Summer days or trips with kids where they may get restless after a few hours. We also offer full-day trips (8 hours) for anglers wanting to spend more time on the water.

​

What should I bring?

Bring whatever you'd normally pack for a day on the water—weather-appropriate clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses, food, and drinks. We'll take care of the fishing gear.

​

Is alcohol allowed?

Yes, it's BYOB if you'd like to enjoy a drink on the water. Just remember we're here to fish, not party. If alcohol results in unsafe conditions, we reserve the right to end the trip without a refund.

​​

Can I bring my own fishing gear?

Of course. You're welcome to bring anything you'd like and we'll work to make space in the boat
​​​​

​​Should I tip my guide?

Tips are never required but are always appreciated. If your guide provided a great experience, 15–20% is customary.
