I booked a trip for me and my daughter with captain Nathan for a guided trip on Douglas Lake.  We both had a great time fishing and Nathan was great coaching my daughter with tips and techniques fishing a plastic worm which she hadn’t had experience fishing.  During the trip we battled the wind most of the day but Nathan managed to help us put fish in the boat.  We caught a variety of species throughout the day and my daughter caught her personal best big fish which she was totally excited about.  Would highly recommend booking a trip with Nathan Mountain.  He’s very personable, a wealth of knowledge with fishing and wonderful to spend time with on the water.  He also supplied all the equipment and tackle which makes it even easier to enjoy fishing without the all hassle.  Thank you Nathan Mountain for a great fishing trip!

My wife and I came to Tennessee for our 20th wedding anniversary to enjoy the usual tourist attractions, but we also decided to spend a half day on the water doing what we love…fishing.  It turned out to be the highlight of our entire trip!

Captain Nathan was amazing.  We caught 7 bass (4 largemouth and 3 smallmouth), with the biggest weighing just over 4 lbs. Back home, we’re used to bottom or bobber fishing, but Nathan patiently walked us through different techniques that work best on Douglas Lake. All we had to do was follow his clear instructions, and they worked!

Before the trip, he communicated often to make sure we were prepared for the weather and to understand our fishing preferences. He built a plan tailored to our experience level, blending familiar methods with new ones to help us learn and have fun.

On top of being a great guide, Nathan is just an all-around great guy. We’ve been on many guided fishing trips, and this one ranks among the very best. If you’re heading to Douglas Lake, don’t hesitate to book with Nathan Mountain Outdoors, you will not be disappointed!  Easily a 5+ star experience!  Thank you, Captain Nathan, for helping us make another special memory to add to our 20+ years together!

If you’re looking to stack the deck in your favor and hammer fish like a pro, book a trip with Captain Nate Mountain—period. This guy doesn’t just find fish—he hunts them down with surgical precision.

From the moment we left the dock, it was clear Nate’s not just another guide. He’s a fish whisperer with a sixth sense for where the action’s at. Within minutes of dropping lines, we were bent over the rails and calling for the net. No dead zones. No wasted casts. Just tight lines and big smiles.

Nate’s gear is top-notch, his boat is clean and rigged to perform, and his energy is off the charts. He’s locked in the entire trip—scanning the sonar, reading the water, adjusting tactics on the fly. You don’t just feel like a passenger; you feel like part of a crew on a mission.

If you want to smoke ‘em at sunrise and still have arms left by lunch, go with Captain Nate. Just be ready—because the fish don’t stand a chance.

Fished a half day charter with Captain Nathan. My buddy was not an experienced fisherman, and was not familiar with a spinning reel, but Captain Nathan had him casting like a pro within minutes. And of course, my buddy was catching all the fish in short order. I was happy about that! I did catch up in the end. Nathan gave us several options of style of fishing, from top water lures, to subsurface lures to live bait depending on the time of day and conditions. I’m lifelong fisherman and thoroughly enjoyed the day on the water with Captain Nathan. Go fish with him!
