About Your Trip

Get ready for an unforgettable day of crappie fishing on Alabama’s legendary waters with Captain Jason! Whether you’re a seasoned angler, a family looking to bond on the water, or a group of friends eager to fill the cooler, Captain Jason’s professionally guided crappie trips deliver a fun and productive experience tailored just for you. Known for his knowledge, patience, and passion for fishing, Jason ensures every trip is both successful and enjoyable, no matter your skill level.

Captain Jason specializes in guided crappie fishing on Lake Guntersville and Lewis Smith Lake, two of the top fishing destinations in Alabama. These lakes are crappie hotspots, offering year-round action and plentiful opportunities to hook into these tasty panfish. Whether it’s jigging around brush piles, fishing submerged structures, or working shallow spawning areas during the spring, Jason knows exactly where to go and what techniques will put you on the bite.

Your trip will take place aboard Captain Jason’s Falcon F20 Bass boat, a high-performance fishing machine that comfortably accommodates up to 3 passengers. Outfitted with the latest gear, including rods, reels, tackle, and lures, this boat is built to give you an edge. Live bait is also an option, so let Jason know ahead of time if you’d like to include it in your game plan. With state-of-the-art equipment and Jason’s expertise, you’ll be set up for a productive day of crappie fishing, whether you’re targeting them for fun or stocking up for the ultimate fish fry.

Captain Jason offers 4-hour and 6-hour trips, allowing you to choose the outing that fits your schedule. On your trip, he’ll teach you the best techniques for catching crappie, share tips for finding them in different seasons, and provide hands-on guidance to ensure you have a successful day on the water. If you’re new to fishing, no problem—Jason is a patient teacher who loves helping beginners get the hang of things. For families, kids are more than welcome, making this an excellent way to introduce young anglers to the excitement of fishing.

Captain Jason also offers specialized trips for youth anglers who want to learn more than just the basics. From understanding crappie behavior and habitat to advanced techniques for jigging and using electronics, Jason provides a fun and educational experience that leaves young anglers with new skills and confidence. Whether you’re preparing for a future tournament or just wanting to learn more about the sport, Jason has you covered.

Before your trip, be sure to purchase an Alabama freshwater fishing license for everyone in your group (available online or at local retailers). Don’t forget to pack sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), snacks, and drinks to stay comfortable during your day on the water. Please note that alcohol is not allowed onboard.

With his full-time availability (weather permitting) and dedication to crafting trips around each group’s goals, Captain Jason delivers a crappie fishing adventure that’s second to none. Whether you’re targeting slabs for the table, teaching your kids the art of fishing, or just enjoying the peaceful beauty of Alabama’s lakes, Jason’s trips are sure to leave you with great memories and maybe even a new favorite hobby.
