Cap’n Hoek Fishing Adventures is your top choice for unforgettable fishing experiences in the heart of North Georgia. As your trusted North Georgia fishing guide, our extensive knowledge of mountain lake fishing in North Georgia allows us to offer not just a trip, but an adventure that combines the excitement of the catch with the stunning beauty of North Georgia's landscapes. Each lake in our region has its own unique ecosystem and characteristics, and our team's in-depth understanding of these waters ensures that we can guide you to the best fishing spots in North Georgia for walleye, striped bass, spotted bass, yellow perch, and more. Our trips are more than just fishing trips; they're a full dive into the amazing water life that calls our local lakes home. We plan our trips to make both skilled fishermen and beginners happy.

Our fishing trips take place on a 21 Foot, 10 inch center console Tidewater boat. We picked this boat because it's stable and can handle anything. It's just right for dealing with the changing conditions on North Georgia's lakes, so you can have a pleasant and productive fishing trip. Our boat has all the gear you need for a great day of fishing, whether you've been doing it for years or are just starting out. We offer both live bait and artificial lures, and we change up our approach based on what the fish are biting. Our guides are experts at figuring out what the local fish are eating, which really ups your chances of catching something. We customize our guided fishing trips in North Georgia to make sure you have the best time and catch the most fish.
