We had an outstanding experience on Cherokee Lake chasing striped and hybrid bass with Captain Jamie from Striper Bandit. From start to finish, the trip was first-class. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable about the lake and knew exactly where to find the fish—we were on them early, and we landed some impressive stripers and hybrids. Even pulled out a few white Bass and a slob of a small mouth What really stood out was how well everything was run—top-notch gear, a clean and comfortable boat, and a guide who made sure everyone was having a great time, whether you were experienced or brand new to fishing.

Beyond just catching fish, we learned a ton about technique, bait, and reading the water. It felt like more than just a charter—it was a full experience.

If you’re thinking about booking a fishing trip on Cherokee Lake, don’t hesitate. This was easily one of the best days we’ve had on the water, and we’ll definitely be back.

Had an absolute blast! Captain Jamie suggested for us to change from morning to evening since the bute at the time was best during the evening. He was booked with another group so he had us go out with his partner Rusty. They worked together to make sure we was on fish. Me and my wife both caught very nice stripe bass and several hybrids. I highly suggest you book with Cap Jamie of Striper Bandit!

Honestly this was the best fishing trip and the best captain I’ve ever had the privilege to fish with.  I can not truly express enough positives! We caught tons of big fish ! My brother and I both caught huge stripers! This is the best part from minute one , Jamie our captain ,talked with us like he had known us forever , from hunting to fishing to jobs, he took us hours longer than we paid for and never once mentioned time . If Tennessee and Cherokee lake is In your plans , You have to fish with Jamie!!

My dad and I booked a half day trip with Jamie. It was the first tour my dad had done and he didn’t stop talking about much fun he had. We caught a ton of fish, had good conversation and had a great time on the water. All accommodations were great. We will be booking with Jamie again.
