Captain Bobby is a fishing guide on Cherokee Lake who's licensed through the United States Coast Guard. Unlike most fishing guides who guide on Cherokee Lake part time, Bobby is dedicated to it full time. He not guides there, he lives there. Therefore, if you're looking for a fishing guide with strong guiding experience on Cherokee Lake, he's the one to take a fishing trip with. For many, it's their lifetime dream to go fishing here, so if you're looking to fish, make sure to ask if the guide is licensed with USCG. You want someone who's not only certified as a Captain legally, but someone who can guide the water safely in any conditions.
Bobby's spent what seams like a lifetime studying where and how fish migrate to depending on the time of the year. He's studied fish migration patterns, the best baits to use and the best fishing techniques on Lake Cherokee to catch striped bass (or stripers). Cherokee Lake is located in the beautiful part of Eastern Tennessee and offers over 400 miles of shore fishing areas. If you're looking for the best fishing lakes near Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smokey Mountains, Lake Cherokee is it.
The types of fish found on Cherokee Lake are striped bass, hybrid bass, walleye, gar, paddlefish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, catfish, spotted bass, carp, and crappie. Obviously, we specialize and target striped bass on Lake Cherokee, especially since out fishing guide service name is StriperXtreme Guide Service. If you're wondering what's included on a guided fishing trip on Lake Cherokee, we provide all the rods, reels, bait, lures, tackle and much more.
During the summer months, the mortality rate for striped bass and larger hybrid bass is high, so Tennessee set a limit of 2 fish per person. After you hit your limit, the fishing for stripers has to end to follow the rules of the DNR. Don't forget to get your Tennessee fishing license before the day of your fishing trip on Cherokee Lake. See you on the water!
Fish filleting and fish cleaning isn't included, but I can make it work if you let me know. There's an extra 3% fee for all credit card transactions.
