Bass Fishing Charter Services

Outdoor Expeditions USA offers year-round guided fishing trips for anglers of all ages and experience levels including tournament style largemouth bass fishing (using artificial lures) as well as family fishing trips for largemouth bass, crappie, white perch, catfish and other species (using both artificials and live bait).

Whether you are a die-hard, species-specific tournament bass angler or crappie fisherman, a family or group of friends looking for a tug on your line or wanting to introduce a young one to fishing for the first time, I’ve got you covered. I welcome anglers of all experience levels and offer trips for everyone.

Largemouth bass fishing trips are best done off of my fully rigged, tournament ready Triton bass boat. This provides a more personalized experience and gives you more one-on-one time, allowing us to cover water quickly and efficiently.

Family fishing trips for up to 4 people are done off of the 18′ pontoon. This is a great option if you are looking to entertain a group and fill a cooler for a fish fry! Both boats are equipped with Lowrance HDS LIVE electronics and GPS trolling motors for fishing finding and positioning accuracy.

I will not be fishing during your trip and will only be there to put you in fish-holding areas and to assist you with your fishing needs. High-quality, digital photos of you and your catch at no additional charge.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked with Joel for a four hour trip after someone else canceled on us last minute. Joel was incredible about accommodating our schedule even when we had to pivot at the last minute. My son had a wonderful time, as did the adults that joined him. Everyone said that Joel was patient, knowledgeable, and really enjoyable to spend the time with. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again in the future. Thanks for a great experience!

My family of 4 had a wonderful time because Joel knew where to find the fish, helped us with everything, took lots of pics for us so we could cherish the memory, and was a fun guide to be with.

He knew all of the best spots on the lake for catching different types of fish, helped us with any questions we had, and was an all-around interesting and personable guy! Highly recommended, for beginners and pros alike. We would absolutely go fishing with Joel again! :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a family fishing trip with Joel for my dad's birthday. My 11 year old son, my dad and husband, all had an amazing time. They all mentioned how knowledgeable and nice Joel was and they caught a lot of different types of fish. They caught a beautiful sunrise too! We will be repeat customers for sure!

Joel had us on the fish within 10 minutes of leaving the dock.

We have fished before but Joel taught us something new and made for a great trip.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a family fishing trip at Shearon Harris as a present for my son’s 13th birthday and he brought two of his friends. Joel was very knowledgeable and patient with all three boys. They all came away with some good catches and new skills! I did not fish myself, but thoroughly enjoyed the scenery and wildlife from the boat ride and learned more about the lake. I highly recommend using Outdoor Expeditions!
