Southern Outdoor Sportsmen

Southern Outdoor Sportsmen is located in Ooltewah which is centrally located between Watts Bar Dam in Decatur, TN and The Chickamauga Dam in Chattanooga. They offer 4 different boat ramps to meet at to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Sean will do his best to accommodate you and make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 4 to 6-hour trips, mainly fishing for Hybrid Striped Bass, White Bass, Freshwater Drum, Catfish, Walleye, and Bass, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 24’ SeaArk boat that can safely take up to 4 anglers. This boat features an ice box and a wireless trolling motor.

The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water.

Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a fishing license before the start of the trip.

You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.

You’ll find free drinks on the boat for your convenience, but you’re always welcome to pack your own drinks and snacks should you want to.

This is a children-friendly charter, so you’re welcome to bring your kids on for a fun fishing adventure.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Southern Outdoor Sportsmen.

I have fished and hunted all of my life and always wanted to make it a career. After 25 years in the Landscaping industry, I had a chance to follow my dream. I grew up fishing the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers for Catfish, Bass, and Walleye. I moved to Tampa, FL, to pursue a career in charter fishing in 2013. Over the past 8 years, I guided inshore fishing trips in Tampa Bay and parts of Alaska in the summers. Now I live in Tennessee to be closer to our grandson and have carried my business here to pursue trophy Catfish, Striper, Walleye and anything else we can catch. Each charter brings something new and fun to encounter.
