Year-Round Guided Fishing Trips on Lake Norman | Water Bugz Fishing Guide Service

Water Bugz Fishing Guide Service offers year-round guided fishing trips on Lake Norman with options for half or full-day excursions. Founder and guide, Jeff Tomlin, boasts over 40 years of fishing experience on the lake, putting him ahead of the competition in terms of knowledge and expertise.

Armed with the 24’ Seaark Procat 240, our guided trips can accommodate groups of up to 5, ensuring ample space for everyone and the fish you're bound to catch. The boat comes equipped with a walk-thru windshield for a comfortable ride, as well as a Bimini top to provide shade during rain showers or sunny days.

Water Bugz Guide Service’s Seaark is outfitted with spinning rod combos, a Hummingbird Helix 12” screen, a 24 volt Minn Kota Trolling Motor, and runs on a powerful 4 Stroke 200 HP Suzuki engine. Our fishing trips are family-friendly and offer the thrill of catching various fish species such as hybrid bass, spotted bass, largemouth bass, white perch, and catfish. We primarily use live bait and light tackle spinning rods, ensuring you have a blast while reeling in your catches.

Our aim is to provide you with top-notch fishing gear that enhances your experience.
