Greetings to my readers! I hope that the world finds you and your family doing well!
COME VISIT BEAUTIFUL THE BEAUTIFUL CUMBERLAND RIVER, CHEROKEE LAKE, HOLSTON RIVER AND CENTER HILL LAKE FOR FABULOUS WINTERTIME FISHING TRIPS – CALL EARLY WHILE WE STILL HAVE DATES AVAILABLE!
CUMBERLAND RIVER STRIPER, WALLEYE AND SAUGER HOLSTON RIVER AND CENTER HILL WALLEYE
StriperFun Guide Service and Tennessee Walleye Charters stays busy fishing for stripers, walleye and sauger on the Cumberland River near Gainesboro, Tennessee all winter long – December running through the end of March! We also have great walleye trips on the Holston River in eastern TN as well as on Center Hill Lake in middle Tennessee! These beautiful waters are loaded full of big fish.
CHEROKEE LAKE IS A FABULOUS LAKE TO FISH!
Cherokee Lake in Eastern Tennessee covers 30,300 acres, is 59 miles long and has 463 miles of shoreline. Cherokee Lake is noted for big stripers but is also “loaded” with big fat “hybrid” stripers as well! The striper and hybrid fishing is simply off the charts!
StriperFun offers day trips on Cherokee Lake year-round (weather permitting). We use freshly caught live gizzard and alewives shad, as well as a variety of my own brand of Captain Jim Special artificial lures to cast and troll with!
It is great to be alive and be a “free” American! I look forward to seeing all of you this year on the water. Always remember to stop and shake the hand of a person in uniform or wearing garb that shows they are a veteran! Their service is why you speak English, can vote and enjoy the freedoms you do! Until next time, blue skies and tight lines!
