About Your Guide

Gregory S.

Independent Guide

USCG-licensed Captain Greg has studied and fished Earth's lakes, rivers, and oceans for most of his life. In addition to being an avid fisherman, he holds a PhD in Biology and has published numerous scientific reports on a variety of fishery topics. Moreover, as a testament to his fishing prowess, he has won numerous fishing tournaments through the years!

Captain Greg has lived and fished in Panama, Hawaii, Bahrain, Bahamas, Florida and Tennessee. Greg's specialty over the past several years here in Tennessee has been spider-rigging and trolling for white and black crappie. It's a great method for selectively putting lots of trophy fish onboard. So come and experience your personal adventure on beautiful Lake Chickamauga near Chattanooga, Tennessee!!

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, bait, 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.
