Ready for some early morning action on the water? Our 4-hour private fishing trip is the perfect way to kick off your day. We'll hit the lake at 8 AM sharp (though we might adjust for seasonal changes) and spend the next four hours chasing after some of the best bass fishing around. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, this trip offers the right mix of excitement and chill vibes. We've got all the gear and know-how you need to make your morning on the water a success.
Picture this: You're out on the calm morning waters, rod in hand, as the sun starts to warm things up. That's what you're in for with our 4-hour private fishing trip. We're talking prime time for Largemouth, Smallmouth, and White Bass. It's just you (and a buddy if you want) plus your guide, so you'll get plenty of one-on-one attention to help you land those fish. We keep things nice and flexible - if you want to focus on one species or try for a mixed bag, we've got you covered. And don't worry about bringing anything but your enthusiasm; we'll hook you up with all the top-notch gear you need.
When you step onto our boat, you're in for a morning of non-stop action. We'll start by finding the hot spots where the bass are biting. Might be along some submerged timber, near drop-offs, or cruising the shallows - wherever they're hanging out, we'll find 'em. We use a mix of techniques depending on what's working that day. Could be some topwater action early on, then switching to crankbaits or soft plastics as the sun gets higher. If you're new to this, don't sweat it. We'll walk you through everything from casting to setting the hook. And for you experienced anglers, feel free to bring your favorite lures if you've got a lucky charm you swear by.

Largemouth Bass: The crown jewel of freshwater fishing, Largemouth Bass are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. These bad boys can grow up to 10 pounds or more in our waters. They love to hang out near structure - fallen trees, weed beds, you name it. Spring and fall are prime times when they're most active, but we can catch 'em year-round with the right tactics. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a big largemouth smashing your lure on the surface.
Smallmouth Bass: Don't let the name fool you - these fish are all fight. Pound for pound, many anglers consider Smallmouth the hardest fighting freshwater fish. They prefer cooler, clearer water and rocky areas. You'll often find them near drop-offs or along gravel bars. These bronze backs are known for their incredible stamina, so be ready for a workout when you hook one. They typically run a bit smaller than Largemouth, but what they lack in size they make up for in attitude.
White Bass: These schooling fish are a blast to catch, especially when they're in a feeding frenzy. White Bass often hunt in large groups, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. They're most active in the spring during their spawning run, but we can target them year-round. They're not as big as their Largemouth or Smallmouth cousins, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers. When a school is fired up, you can catch one on nearly every cast. It's fast-paced fishing that's perfect for anglers of all skill levels.
Look, here's the deal - this 4-hour trip is the perfect way to scratch that fishing itch without eating up your whole day. You'll be back on shore by lunch, with plenty of time to brag about your catch (and maybe even plan your next trip). Whether you're looking to learn some new techniques, finally land that personal best, or just enjoy a relaxing morning on the water, we've got you covered. Our experienced guides know these waters like the back of their hand and are dedicated to making sure you have a great time. So why wait? Grab your spot now and let's get out there and catch some fish. The bass are waiting, and the bite is hot!

Largemouth Bass are the heavyweights of the sunfish family, typically 12-24 inches long and 1-4.5 pounds. You'll find them lurking in weedy, shallow waters of lakes and ponds. These ambush predators have a massive mouth that extends past their eyes - hence the name. They're aggressive fighters, making them a blast to catch. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they cruise the shallows. In summer, try deeper, cooler spots. Largemouth love structure, so target fallen trees, docks, and weed edges. They'll hit a variety of lures, but plastic worms are a go-to. For a local trick, try red-colored baits - largemouth seem to have a thing for red. Whether you're after the thrill of the fight or a tasty meal, these bass deliver. Just remember, the biggest ones are often the wiliest!
Smallmouth Bass are the scrappy cousins of the bass family, typically 18-20 inches and 2-6 pounds. You'll find them in clear, cool waters with rocky bottoms. These bronze battlers are known for their acrobatic fights - they'll leap out of the water and give you a run for your money. Spring and fall are prime times when they're in shallower water. In summer, they go deep to stay cool. Early mornings and evenings are your best bet. Smallies love crayfish, so try jigs or soft plastics that mimic them. For a local trick, use light line and finesse presentations in clear water. They're cautious, but once hooked, they're all fight. Whether you're after sport or supper, Smallmouth deliver. Just remember, they prefer cooler water, so adjust your depth accordingly as seasons change.
White Bass, or "silvers," are feisty little fighters usually 10-12 inches long. You'll find them schooling in big rivers and reservoirs, often near the surface. They're spring spawners, running up tributaries when the water warms. That's prime time to catch 'em, but they bite year-round. White Bass are aggressive feeders and will hit just about anything that moves. They're a blast on light tackle, and when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. Look for them chasing bait on the surface - that's your cue to cast. A small jig or spinner will do the trick. For a local tip, try night fishing with bottom baits when they're deep. White Bass make for good eating too, with a mild, flaky meat. Just be ready for a scrappy fight - these little guys punch above their weight!
