Fished with Jeremy at lake Notley and had an absolute blast. We finished out the day with what we thought was a lake... record largemouth. Ended up being shy after getting it on certified scales but Jeremy was willing to follow us to a scale and back to the ramp so we could release the fish. Can't recommend him enough.read more

We took a charter trip today with Captain Russ and had an amazing experience. Russ was super friendly and professional.... We hand an amazing day with him. I booked the trip at the beginning of the week to surprise my husband for his birthday and I’m so glad I did. The booking process was easy and the actual trip today was amazing. You pay a deposit at front just like it states on their website and pay the rest at the end. They take care of the rest and you sit back and enjoy the trip. I will highly recommend then and will definitely charter again in the future . Thank you Backwoods Fishing!!!!read more

We had a great time with Jeremy at Backwoods. We caught stripers, hybrids, spotted bass and we hooked into a catfish.... Jeremy’s experience with Carters Lake was invaluable as he put us on fish in several spots. Knowledgeable, energetic and determined to make our day a memorable one. I would highly recommend Jeremy for fishing at Carters Lake.read more

Went out on Carter’s Lake with Captain Russ Dees on July 26. Really nice person to fish with— very warm-hearted guy,... good with my kids, and enjoyed hearing his fishing tales. He knows the lake and how to fish it well. We didn’t get the big one but he put us on the fish several times that day. Nothing but good things to say about Captain Russ and the entire experience. Can’t wait to get back up there to fish with you guys again.read more

Me and my wife had a 6 hour fishing trip on Carter Lake with Jeremy. He is a great fishing guide. He worked really hard... to find the fish and get us hooked up. Live bait due to the cold weather wasn't working so he trolled multiple locations that paid off with an action packed afternoon. Highly recommend Jeremy with Backwoods Fishing for your next striper experience. Looking forward to booking another trip in the near future.read more

I've been fishing with Jeremy several times and he's one of the best guides that I've fished with. His boat and... equipment are to notch. He knows the fish and the lake extremely well. We always seem to exceed expectations on the catch. Most of all, Jeremy is a pro with my boys and both keeps them engaged and teaches them along the way. We recommend Backwoods Fishing Guide to anyone that wants to fish North Georgia.read more

Had an awesome day with Jeremy with Backwoods Fishing on Carter’s Lake today! Every fish we caught was over 14lbs! A... bunch were 18-20 lbs! Was and awesome time! Very relaxing due to minimal boat traffic which made it very peaceful but then also very exciting and full of anticipation for the next hit on the line! Fish were everywhere and Jeremy was very informative and explained the methods to take care of the fish! I literally can’t wait until I can schedule another trip with Capt. Jeremy! #backwoodsfishing #striperfishing #carterslake #thattugismydrug #theolbigone #bassfishing #letsdoitagainread more
