We went out this past Tuesday Morning, it was around 26 degrees outside, the water was cold. It was my me, my grandma of 88, and my dad. We had never been to TN before, and with the cold we were definitely nervous. Brian made us feel welcome as soon as we pulled up to the doc. We spent a few minutes searching and Brian leaned a little on the community of Anglers who fish J Percy Priest. And before we knew it, we were into some amazing hybrids, were all in the 6-7 pound range. We even caught some pure white bass trolling out there. He kept us warm inside and out, and was patient as we fumbled around in the freezing temperatures. I mean, we are CA, I thought we were gonna die, but we did quite the opposite and even under the same conditions would definitely do again!

Captain Jerimiah was incredible for my trip! I had one mission and it was to catch a Hybrid Striper bigger than my previous biggest (1lbs 10oz). Jerimiah took me out to a spot where we jigged for White Bass and Hybrids. At this first spot, we saw tons of fish on the live scope and, unfortunately for me, I didn’t catch anything jigging. We did not jig very long however, but it was long enough for Jerimiah to get in a White Bass and a Yellow Bass. We went to check out a few other spots with no success at any of the other spots, so it didn’t take long before we found ourselves back at our first spot. This time, we decided to troll. It did not take long at all into trolling where we got a fish and it happened to crush my previous biggest Hybrid by over 3 lbs. Less than 10 minutes later, the rod went again, and I ended up pulling in 2 Hybrids on the exact same rod at the same time! Both Hybrids were good size and each about 4-4.5 lbs. Half an hour after that, I beat my new biggest Hybrid again, setting at just over 5 lbs. Less than half an hour after that, I landed a big White Bass and the other pole had gone so Jerimiah got it, leaving us with a fun double-up selfie! Eventually, the Hybrid bite slowed and the small White Bass took over and the trip was over! I had so, so, so much fun on this guided trip! Jerimiah and I talked about fishing and his guiding, and now… I’ll be back out on the water with him soon! I’m not 100% sure yet when, but I’m definitely looking at my schedule to see about going out on another trip with him in the next month or two!

We had an incredible fishing trip with Brian! He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and absolutely amazing with the kids. From start to finish, he made the day fun, relaxing, and memorable for all of us. Brian knew exactly where to take us — we caught fish throughout the day and never once felt rushed. His patience, especially with the little ones, was something truly special. He made sure everyone felt involved and excited, no matter their age or skill level. I can’t recommend Brian enough — it was a perfect day on the water thanks to him. We’ll definitely be booking again!

Awesome captain, great experience for my (experienced) and my family (beginners), and boat was comfortable. Fishing was great and even better with all the wildlife surrounding us. I would definitely book again and recommend to book with Captain Brian!
