Striper Bandit Guide Service is located in Morristown, TN and offers to show you a memorable time on beautiful Cherokee Lake in East Tennessee. We work with several area guides and expert fishermen to share feedback and information on fish movement, feeding patterns, and lake conditions.  Our goal is to put you on the fish and provide every opportunity for success. Your captain will do their best to make sure you have an exciting day of fishing. This involves 4 to 6-hour trips, mainly fishing for Striped Bass and Hybrid Striped Bass. Occasionally, we land some nice Catfish as well. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as bottom fishing, trolling, and jigging.

The captain encourages catch and release when possible, however, you’re legally allowed to keep 2 Striper or Hybrid in combination per fisherman. In the hotter months, Striper will likely not survive when released, so it may be necessary to keep them regardless. The fish must be 15” or larger to keep.

If you and the crew are struggling to catch fish and if possible, an extension of the trip may be offered. In that case, the choice to stay longer is yours to make. Your safety being the captain’s top concern, he’ll offer to reschedule for another day in case lightning forces you off the water. If the storm looks to pass quickly, you can wait at the ramp and return to fishing once it’s safe to continue.

Everything you need to fish is included in the price. All you need to bring is your Tennessee State Fishing License and any drinks or snacks you want to take along. If you plan to take any fish home, you’ll need to bring freezer bags, a cooler, and ice to transport it in.
