Meet the Captain

I have been an avid fisherman for over 20 years. In 2017 I took my first trip to Lake Norman and immediately fell in love with it. I have been catfishing on Lake Norman as much as possible on weekends and holiday’s since then. Lake Norman has given me some amazing experiences and hopefully it can give you some too on our 4, 6, or 8-hour catfishing adventure!

Need To Know Info:

This adventure is open to any angler that wants to have a good time!
Our trip on Lake Norman will begin at Inland Sea Marina (114 Bowfin Circle in Mooresville, NC). I will pick you up at the dock and our fishing time will not begin until we throw out our first line.I am certified in first aid and CPR and fully insuredThere is limited parking at the marina so please be sure to carpool

The Boat

Carolina blue/white 2013 Carolina Skiff 218DLV with room up to 5 people equipped with a 140hp Suzuki motor, riptide trolling motor, Lowrance gps/depth finder, driftmaster rod holders, fresh bait and multiple rods ready to go.

Fishing

I am specialized in drifting/trolling and anchoring for catfish with multiple rods rigged and ready!! I will also be prepared to cast for schooling bass or white perch during our catfish outing.
All trips booked will be catfish trips
However, upon special request, I can offer trolling for largemouth, spotted, and hybrid bass. If you are interested in trolling for largemouth, spotted, or hybrid bass please call or txt me at 336-613-0575 or [email protected] for further discussion.

What to Bring

Anyone over the age of 16 must have a valid NC fishing license that can be purchased at https://www.ncwildlife.org/ or other sporting goods stores.Depending on the time of year and weather conditions please dress accordingly and come prepared.Children under the age of 13 will need to have a life jacket and will need to wear it throughout the duration of the trip.A cooler with drinks and snacks. No alcohol. No weapons.If you would like to keep your catch, I will have a cooler provided on the boat with ice (upon request), but you will need a cooler to take your catch home. Any catfish caught over 10 pounds will be released. Lake Norman is a trophy catfish fishery and I practice conservation.No fish cleaning services are offered with this service. There are also no fish cleaning facilities at the lake. You will need to plan to take your catch home in your own cooler.Family, kids and A GREAT ATTITUDE. If you are interested in being guaranteed to catch big fish or multiple fish on your outing for you to consider it a successful fishing trip, then this is not the service for you. Sometimes fish bite and sometimes they don’t. This fishing experience is not all about fishing. It is also about the sights, sounds and the soothing relaxion of being on the water. If you want to have an enjoyable day on the water, then this is for you!!
