Book A Fishing Trip

My dad and I had a fantastic time. Caught plenty of fish and had some good laughs. Perfect for a family looking to unplug. Thank you Joel.

Outdoor Expeditions is my go to fishing guide service. Whether you’re looking for a fishing guide or using the fishing hotline, you’ll catch fish! I was blown away by Joel’s knowledge he has accumulated over several decades of fishing the local lakes. I’m convinced that no one knows these lakes better. I continue to use the fishing hotline for any upcoming trips when weather conditions change or seasons change. Definitely the best fishing resource for all of your fishing needs.

Joel is an excellent guide with reasonable rates. I've been out with him twice now and both trips were fun and memorable. Highly recommend!

I had a great time out with Joel. I've fished for decades but wanted an expert's insights on tackling larger water and locating fish. Joel put me onto a couple fish, but more importantly took time to teach the tactics and science around how to be successful on my own later on. Hoping for another trip later on in the year.

We had a great and very productive Sunday morning session with Joel on Jordan Lake. This turned out to be a great birthday present for my spouse. I had no prior experience and highly recommend for complete novices. Spotting a couple of Ospreys out fishing too, was the cherry on top!

I took my two girls and nephew out on Harris Lake with Mr. Joel today and we had the best morning! They caught a ton of fish and had lots of fun. Above all I loved Mr. Joel’s patience and kind heart. He was wonderful with the kids and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

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.

Awesome experience with a great guide! 10/10 recommend to anyone who wants to fish

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 is an extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable guide. My wife and I had a great time fishing and learned a lot! We will certainly fish with Joel again.
