MEET EMIL
I am a lifelong resident of Georgia and have fished Lake Lanier for coming on 10 years now. Lake Lanier is known for its trophy spotted bass and is arguably the best spotted bass fishery in the country. I also guide on lake Allatoona, which is a great fishery to catch numbers of bass, as well as lake Hartwell, which offers a nice variety as well as a substantial population of largemouth bass. When you book a trip with me expect to not only catch fish, but to learn a lot about how to have a successful day on the water and locate fish on whichever respective body of water we are on. My goal is to cater to your needs, whether you just want to go out and catch fish or focus on learning/tournament preparation, we can mold our day to your liking! I operate on a no fish no pay policy (excludes electronics trips)!

BOOK A DAY TO REMEMBER
Lake Lanier
Lake Lanier is home base for me and one of the best spotted bass fisheries in the world. It is known for its giant spotted bass and incredible consistency throughout the year. In the hotter months of the year, Lake Lanier offers some of the most exhilarating topwater fishing you can experience. In the colder months, bottom baits and suspended presentations typically prevail and offer great numbers and size.
Lake Allatoona
Although it does not have near the same size of fish as its neighbor Lake Lanier, Lake Allatoona offers some great numbers fishing and is an awesome lake to learn to target spotted bass. 30-50 fish days are not uncommon on Allatoona and the lake offers lots of diversity in techniques to fish. Spotted bass can be targeted offshore in brush piles and rock piles, or fishing shallow around rock or visible structure.
Lake Hartwell
Lake Hartwell offers a great mix of numbers and size as well as a substantial largemouth population compared to other nearby fisheries. Lake Hartwell fishes very big and can be daunting at first, but once we figure out what places to target it becomes easy to break down and pattern. I have always experienced some of my best tournament success on Lake Hartwell and it really seems to fit my style.
Equipment
We will be fishing out of a brand new 2022 Phoenix 721 powered by a 250 ProXs Outboard purchased from Wedowee Marine. There are advantages to all 3 manufacturers, so I do run Lowrance, Garmin, and Humminbird electronics on my boat. Phoenix boats are a true joy to fish out of and I am excited to be guiding out of one for 2022.
(*All Hartwell Trips are subject to an additional fuel and travel cost of $100).
