Keeping a boat, truck, and trailer in running condition is a full time job in itself when on the water 300 days a year.  I have invested everything I can into your fishing experience, and I have what I believe is the perfect striper fishing boat for east Tennessee.  I live for guiding your group to a wonderful fishing outing and will put every ounce of energy I have into making your fishing experience unforgettable.


A one of a kind 26 foot SeaArk

with forward console walk through windshield.

This boat will have ample room for up to 6 anglers and will feature only the best equipment. 

You will be comfortable on your outing in this brand new boat.



This boat is set up for trophy fishing and is very comfortable to fish out of.  Decked out with the latest gear from MinnKota and Humminbird.  I now and running a Solix 10 SI graph and a 112 Ulterra with Ipilot link trolling motor.  The absolute best of the best equipment.  The bait tank I used is  Mel’s 100 gallon tank.  The best bait tanks I have ever seen or used.  I only use high quality equipment and I have an abundance of reels loaded with Seaguar fishing line and leaders.  I typically have heavier gear due to the number of larger fish we encounter on our adventures. I provide artificial lures also if there is a chance to land these fish on them. If we are musky fishing, I provide a wide variety of lures for every occasion. You will not find another guide in Tennessee as stocked up and prepared for quality fish. I spare no expense in offering you a wide variety of fishing opportunities.


I only use

quality gear from Shimano and Seaguar.
