Hello everyone! We're a family-oriented crew with over 15 years of experience catching catfish by hand. One of us is a 14-year-old who has been on the water since he was a baby, learning the ropes from day one, and he's here to help share the experience! We were taught by one of the best in the tradition, ensuring our skills are top-notch. When the sun sets and the moon illuminates the waters, we dive in, wrestling with those big whiskered catfish. And don't worry about gators or snakes—they're just part of the adventure! We've got the whole family involved, teaching them the art of noodling. Deep in the heart of the South, where nature is wild and the waters are challenging, we thrive on the excitement of the catch and the joy of family. It's a family tradition we want to share with you. Join us for a night of thrilling, family-fueled noodling adventure! 🌊🐊🐍

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.
