Check with Mike Peek on the lady d
i had a great time a few years ago on the Annie Girl. He does a lot of longer trips but i dont know his prices or anything but might be worth a check
Would you guys want another person to join you in August? I may can come down. Also would like a long trip, and of course could help with the expense of the trip. I'm a Tennessee Muskie Guide.
I went out on that Annie Girl and it broke down while we were out there. We caught a boat load of fish and had a blast but it sure was a long slow trip back in. The captain even tried to refund our money, which we refused.
I've had a really good experience with Jimmy Waller on the Big Adventure out of Zeke's Landing for an overnight charter.
Check out Sea Hunter Charters Ricky McDuffie is a third gen Captain. I have fished with him for about 15 years. June 8 we brought back a boat load of black fin and snapper on a 18 hr trip. Huge snapper. Good guy and I have not been disappointed. good luck. I
Stay away from Miss Jenny out of Zeke's.
All the boats people have mentioned are top notch. Chipper's Clipper is another good one, not sure if he does 18 hour though.
What's the story?Quote:

Just use google and start calling to see if anyone is working on a walk on trip. Captains appreciate when you call them directly to save them on a marina booking fee. Chipper's Clipper, High Cotton, Max Drag, Class Act, Fairwater, Cool Change, Intruder, Distraction, Getaway... the list goes on.Quote:

Are there any "head boats" or party boats at all in the area?
Is this something I should do way in advance or just a few days ahead of time?Quote:

I don't have any info about my fishing online really. I fish offshore a time or two a year with Curtis and we slaughter the fish max drag charters
Lady D, High Cotton, Annie Girl... there are many good boats in town who will do everything they can to get you on the fish, just book a long enough trip.
The best suggestions for an 12 or 18 hour is Summer Breeze 2 60 ft resmondo or Annie girl charters which is also a resmondo both great captains I worked for summer breeze 2 last summer
Does he have rates posted anywhere online?

I realize that I am about 3 months late in seeing this but I saw your post and I have to ask... There are muskie in TN??? I live near Memphis and always assumed that there were no pike or muskie down here. I was born and raised up north in Illinois and always assumed those were northern fish.Quote:
