Joel Munday, Bass Fishing Guide, Outdoor Expeditions USA

Since the 90s when I started guiding fishing trips on North Carolina’s best bass lakes, I have spent countless hours studying the topography of the lakes, forage and seasonal patterns of the fish that call these amazing bodies of water home. I enjoy sharing what I have learned with clients to help them understand the “what’s and why’s” of it all and help them become more efficient in locating and catching fish.

A regular contributor to Carolina Sportsman Magazine, I have also been featured on Southern Outdoor Adventures TV (Falls Lake episode 2002), Bob Redfern’s Outdoor Magazine on Fox Sports (Shearon Harris episode 2017) and Eva Shockey’s Outdoor 101 (Jordan Lake 2018).

I have a good understanding of Lowrance HDS electronics, including interpreting a specific species of fish and fish holding cover/structure on these lakes. I offer one-on-one on the water training for Lowrance HDS units as well as sales, installation, optimization and custom mapping services. I am proud to be a part of the Lowrance Pro Staff team for 2023.

My goal is to provide you with an enjoyable, safe and productive day of fishing on the water. I cater to and welcome anglers of all experience levels. I take my job seriously and my focus is on clients catching fish, learning better fishing skills, and most of all having a great time.

Fishing Is A Way Of Life

My philosophy on fishing is that you get out of it what you put in to it. In the fishing business, giving 100% every single time is not optional. Let me share my passion with you.

I had one of the best days on the water today without catching a single fish!! I hired Joel to help me dial in my electronics and learn to use my Active Target and Joel delivered on everything he promised plus. Joel has a great way to explain everything we were seeing on the units and then how to zero down on the targets we marked. I was finding those underwater structures and running over them with my bait in no time. Learning how to use your electronics is something that would benefit all anglers, whether a tournament fishermen or recreational fishermen to finding and catching more fish. I would highly recommend hiring Joel for a session, time and money well spent.

There is a reason for all the 5 star reviews, Joel will put you on the fish! I’d like to point out his attention to detail, finding out what you want to catch, information about who is fishing and their experience level (young, old, experience or no experience), weather conditions, seasonal changes. My 7 and 5 year old children had a blast and can’t wait to go fishing again. Thanks Joel.

Joel with Outdoor Expeditions USA, LLC is an awesome guided fishing exploration!! Joel's knowledge of fishing and the terrain, perfect customer service, kindness to my son (we booked this trip for my son's birthday), friendliness, and soo many other great things I can say made this an amazing experience. Joels' dexterity is highly appreciated; being the captain, entertaining and teaching us guest, baiting, netting the catch, measuring the keepers, and managing the sonar is remarkable. These five-star reviews are not fabricated at all. Call Outdoor Expeditions USA, LLC today, for your own unforgettable excursion! Thank you, Joel.

We had a great time with Joel guiding us around Jordan Lake. It was the first time my son has gone fishing and it was perfect. We will be using Outdoor Expeditions again for the Bass trip.

Very highly recommended, already have plans to come back again. Great experience with zero stress or complications from beginning to end ! Wanted to take my oldest daughter fishing before the start of the school year. Google returned Joel’s company as one of the top results for “fishing charter NC”. Emailed him with a couple questions, which he promptly answered, so I decided to hire his services. Our trip (the Super Half-day Fishing Charter @ Jordan Lake) started right on time with zero problems, thanks to Joel providing detailed instructions beforehand on what to bring, what to do (and not to do), which made the process super easy. Joel is very knowledgeable not only about fish, the best fishing areas and techniques, but he also uses Lowrance equipment which allows him to literally park the boat on top of the fish. Joel makes you feel comfortable, relaxed, and more than a chartered fish trip it feels like you’re fishing with a friend. We caught almost two dozen crappies, it was awesome ! And now my daughter calls this fishing trip “one of the best days of my life”.

It was as great experience with Joel. He organized an awesome trip with my friends. It was evident that he loved his job and he was genuinely excited to share his expertise with us. We all felt very comfortable during the trip. He also had cool gadgets that we used to help us catch even more fish! I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family!
