About Your Trip

If you're looking to experience some of the best bass fishing in the Southeast, this guided trip through the scenic waters of Lake Waccamaw and the Waccamaw River is just the ticket. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler, this experience is designed to deliver tight lines and unforgettable moments on the water.

You'll explore prime fishing spots across North and South Carolina, surrounded by beautiful backdrops and peaceful stretches of water. With expert guidance, you’ll be casting artificial lures for Largemouth Bass in shallow creeks, open lake flats, and along river structure. The bite can be hot any time of year, and these waters are known for producing quality fish.

Your day will be spent aboard a 2024 Bass Cat STS, powered by a 250HP Mercury engine—a sleek, tournament-grade boat built for serious fishing. There's room for up to 3 adult anglers, and all safety equipment is on board. Your guide is fully licensed, insured, and CPR certified, so you can relax and enjoy the trip.

What to Bring:

A valid North Carolina fishing license is required, and guests are encouraged to pack sunglasses, weather-appropriate layers, food and water, comfortable footwear, and any personal items like a hat, camera, or sunscreen. Rain gear is always a good idea, just in case.

From trophy bass to tranquil scenery, this trip offers the perfect blend of action and atmosphere. Get ready to cast, catch, and make memories on the water.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
