What You Can Expect: We offer fishing guide service for John H. Kerr Reservoir, which lies on the NC/VA border. We specialize in catching catfish, but we also offer trips targeting striped bass and white perch during certain times of the year. This guide service is owned and operated by Wes, a fully licensed and insured guide. The Lake John H. Kerr Reservoir, also known as Buggs Island, is a 50,000 acre impoundment with over 850 miles of shoreline. The lake lies on the border of North Carolina and Virginia and is maintained by the Army Corp of Engineers. The lake is fed by the Dan and Staunton Rivers, and outflows into the Roanoke River. The primary forage in the lake are gizzard shad, threadfin shad, and blueback herring. The lake is well known for largemouth bass, crappie, and striper fishing…but it made headlines in June of 2011 when Nick Anderson caught a new world record blue catfish! The fish weighed 143 pounds….over thirteen pounds more than the previous world record. What To Expect Onboard: We will be fishing on a 2015 Tracker Pro Guide V-175, rigged with a 115 HP Mercury 4-stroke and Humminbird electronics. Our boats are fully customized with rod racks and LED lighting. Our boats also have a V-hull and deep sides, to ensure you have a smooth ride and stay dry, no matter the conditions. A windshield on each boat protects you from the elements, and both boats have partial enclosures for those cold or rainy days. Both boats have Minnkota trolling motors mounted on the bow. All neccessary safety equipment is provided, and there is plenty of storage for coolers and extra gear. What to Bring All fishing gear will be provided. This includes rods, reels, tackle, bait, etc. If you would like to bring your own gear, feel free. Just be sure to check with the captain beforehand to make sure your gear is up to the task of tackling the fish we will be targeting. Be sure to dress appropriately! Even in warmer months, an early morning boat ride can be a bit chilly. If the sun will be out, we highly recommend that you bring sunscreen and a good pair of shades! Insect repellent also comes in handy, especially on night fishing trips. We do not provide food/drinks, so be sure to pack a lunch and plenty of water. A cooler with ice will be provided, however if you would like to keep any fish be sure to bring your own cooler/ice. We do not clean your catch! Most folks also like to bring a camera along to document the trip. Your captain will also have a camera on board to make sure that your catch is well documented. It is the responsibility of each individual on the boat to obtain a valid freshwater fishing license prior to the trip. Since Kerr Lake lies on the border of NC and VA, licenses from either state are accepted. Fishing licenses can be purchased at Walmart or at most large tackle shops.
