About Your Trip

Get ready for an unforgettable day of fishing on the Tennessee River with Captain Aaron! Specializing in the pursuit of Blue Catfish, Flathead Catfish, White Bass, Bream, and Skipjack, Captain Aaron knows these waters like the back of his hand. Whether you're an experienced angler or a newcomer looking to reel in some big fish, this trip is designed to give you the best chance at hooking into some serious action.

Captain Aaron’s 2472 Sea Ark is built for comfort and performance, accommodating up to 4 guests with plenty of room for everyone to fish and enjoy the day. You’ll have all the necessary fishing tackle and bait provided, so you don’t need to worry about a thing—just bring your snacks and drinks in a small cooler. While the gear’s covered, be sure to bring your fishing license, and don’t forget your rain gear and bug spray just in case. (A quick note: please avoid spray sunscreen if possible, and if you smoke, bring something to discard your cigarette butts responsibly.)

As we move into the fall season, the cooler water temps make for some exciting fishing opportunities. October brings hungry fish on the prowl, and with Captain Aaron’s expert guidance, you’ll be in prime position to land some serious catches. But don’t stop there—if you’re looking for real trophy fish, some of the best action of the year happens in January and February! Whether you're chasing those fall bites or planning ahead for winter trophies, Captain Aaron is excited to show you the best of what the Tennessee River has to offer.

So pack your essentials, dress for the weather, and get ready for a day filled with tight lines and big fish!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

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.
