A DAY AT THE FISH SCHOOL

Instructional fishing trips on Lake Allatoona, built so you leave knowing why, not just where.

HOW A DAY WORKS

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Every trip is built around your unique needs — we'll cover any or all of these four things, as high level or as in-depth as you want, from casual basics to deep technical detail. You leave with the skills to catch more fish on your own. On drone observation trips, we also use a view from above to see how the fish set up.

INTERPRET THE SCREENS

03
CARTOGRAPHY AND MAPPING

04
FISH WITH PURPOSE

Wind, fronts, and temperature help us pick where to fish. You’ll learn how to read the weather and put the boat in the right water.

Learn to read your electronics and forward-facing sonar, and turn what you see on the screen into fish.

Use maps and waypoints to find structure, and to get back to the water that matters.

Lure choice and presentation, hooksets, fighting and landing fish — hands-on skills you can take home and use to catch more fish on your own.

PREMIUM FISHING TRIPS

DRONE OBSERVATION TRIPS

BIG GLIDE BAIT / WAKE BAIT TRIPS

STANDARD RATE + $200

$450

Let’s hit the lake and use the drone to see how bass set up in laydowns, where they’re spawning, or where wolf-packs are roaming the shallows. The drone is an incredible tool to observe and learn about the fish we spend so much time chasing.

When the water is hot, often the shallow largemouth bite is too! Put the spinning rods away, break out the big rods and heavy line, and throw giant wake baits and glides for big summer largemouth.

Includes 60–90 minutes of drone filming, weather permitting. Minimum charge is $550. Available April through October, with select trips outside those months when conditions are right. If air temps are above 70°F, we have a great chance of seeing fish shallow.

Four-hour trips, offered June through September.

2-HOUR SONAR INSTRUCTION

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

100% recommend on Facebook · 7 reviews

Jason spent a ton of time teaching us about lure selection, how to read the water, wind, and weather conditions, where fish are likely to be… If you want to become a better fisherman instead of just being taken fishing, The Fish School is absolutely worth it.

He worked with me on the trip explaining to me why we were doing what we were doing on that day and he also showed me a few different techniques… Since the trip Jason has answered texts and calls from me answering new questions I’ve had.

Jason showed me just how many fish are in waters I would have considered ‘extremely’ deep… I ended up finding a large group of bass in over 50 feet of water!

My son and I had a great time and learned a lot from Jason. Will hire him again!
