The lake is known for quality largemouth bass and shallow-water habitat that holds fish year-round, with productive vegetation, open-water areas and structure your guide will work through.

All fishing equipment is provided: premium rods, reels and tackle, plus safety gear, a cooler with ice and bottled water. The guide handles the technical side so beginners can focus on the experience, and serious anglers get the expertise and access to make the most of the water. You fish from the boat in a private charter, so the day stays on your group's schedule and rhythm.

Choose between a 4-hour or 6-hour charter, with morning departures at 7am or afternoon starts at 12pm or 2pm depending on the option. Fishing licenses are included on some options.
