What types of spotted bass fishing trips are common?

Lake fishing is the most popular type of fishing for spotted bass as well as river fishing, inshore fishing, and nearshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques are artificial lure fishing, light tackle fishing, and jigging but live bait fishing and topwater fishing are popular as well.

How much does a spotted bass fishing trip cost?

Prices for spotted bass can range anywhere from about $425 to $1,545, but the average price for a half day trip for spotted bass is $681. The average price for a full day trip for spotted bass is $1,116.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for spotted bass fishing?

The most popular season for spotted bass fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 34 days in advance.

Do I need a fishing license for spotted bass and what are the bag limits for spotted bass?

    Trip: Greers Ferry Lake

  • ★★★★★
    Had a very hard working guide, caught 15 fish between 3people. But Arron wasn’t truthful about the time to fish. Our guide told us the month of may was the worse month to fish. Arron should have told me that and I could have made my trip at a better time. Terrible time when all you do is sit and wait while one person fished. Only boat on lake almost, that should tell you it was a bad time to fish. It was a bad trip and my friends were even more disappointed than I was. Wouldn’t do it again, way to much money to sit all day.

    Great day on the water with Ander and my friend Vance. I got to keep two of the bigger fish that I caught to eat! They tasted great with some blackening spices and butter. I'll recommend Ander to anyone looking to have a wonderful time fishing!

    My 7-year-old son and I went out to Enid Lake with Aaron and had a great day. Aaron kept my son engaged and made sure to keep him entertained. We were catching fish all day and even caught a 35lb blue cat and my personal best crappie. We fished all day using different fishing techniques like trolling, jug fishing, and live scoping. When we were done, Aaron cleaned the fish and sent us back home with a full cooler. Overall, it was an excellent experience and we look forward to coming back and fishing more! I’d recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a fun day, and would especially recommend Aaron for those with younger kids. He made our day.
