Jared is a knowledgeable and entertaining fishing guide! If you want to learn to fish Lake Santeetlah, Lake Caulderwood or Cheoah Lake, this is your guide! He has high quality Hobie fishing kayaks with all the accessories you need to have an amazing experience! One of my most enjoyable experiences this summer! I would highly recommend!

Guide Jared really put us on the fish! What a fun new experience. We’ve never tried this but will be back to do it again. Jared cleaned the fish for us after our tour and we had a great fish fry dinner!

I recently booked a half day kayak fishing trip through Carolina Bound Adventures. The whole process was plesant and very easy from start to finish. Mark was very responsive and answered any questions we had along the way. The week of the trip they sent me all the information that we needed for the trip and to meet up with our guide. The guide Jared was a great host, he was very knowledgeable and fun to be on the water with. Ive booked charter fishing trips in the past and Jared went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and that we got our moneys worth out of the trip. Not to mention the scenery of nature was beautiful and the fishing was pretty good too. I would highly recommended the kayak fishing trip through Carolina Bound Adventures.

My husband and son did a guided kayak fishing trip on Lake Santeetlah this past week. They came back with nothing but great things to say about the trip. They caught a lot of fish, which was absolutely delicious! The guide was very knowledgeable and patient with them.
Mark made booking the trip a breeze, and was great at communicating throughout. Highly recommend!
