Experience Memorable Fishing on Cherokee Lake with Striper Bandit Guide Service

Striper Bandit Guide Service, formerly known as Steve's Striper Guide Service, operates in Morristown and offers unforgettable experiences on the stunning Cherokee Lake in East Tennessee. Collaborating with several knowledgeable guides and skilled anglers, the service provides valuable insights on fish behavior, feeding patterns, and lake conditions. Their ultimate aim is to ensure you locate and catch fish effectively.

Capt. Steve or his partner Jamie will strive to make your fishing day thrilling and enjoyable. Trips typically range from 4 to 8 hours and focus on catching Striped, Hybrid Striped, Largemouth, and Smallmouth Bass, depending on the season and current conditions. Occasionally, the crew also lands Catfish. During these excursions, bottom fishing, trolling, and jigging techniques are commonly employed.

While catch and release are encouraged whenever possible, legal guidelines permit each angler to keep a maximum of 2 Striper or Hybrid in combination. In hotter months, keep in mind that released Striper may not survive, making it necessary to keep them. However, any retained fish must measure 15" or larger.

In the event that you're struggling to catch fish, the crew may offer an extension to the trip if feasible. The decision to continue fishing for an extended duration will be at your discretion. Your safety is the captain's top priority, and in the event of lightning, rescheduling for another day will be offered. If the storm appears to pass quickly, you'll have the option to wait at the ramp and resume fishing once it's safe.

The service includes all necessary fishing equipment in the price. You are required to bring your Tennessee State Fishing License and any preferred refreshments. If you plan to keep any fish, please bring freezer bags, a cooler, and ice for transportation. The captain is willing to fillet any fish you decide to keep. While tips are greatly appreciated, they are not obligatory.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience an exceptional fishing adventure with the Striper Bandit Guide Service. Book your trip now with Steve's Striper Guide Service.
