My husband and I had a wonderful time with Captain Casey fishing for catfish. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and just down right funny. He went above and beyond to put us on good catfish when the fish as a whole were having a weird day - even helping us both catch personal bests. We can’t recommend him enough if you’re looking for a great time.

I’m not from Tennessee and fishing Tennessee is a different animal! Captain Casey not only took us out to catch but gave me priceless tips and pointers for fishing here! Booked my trip for the wrong season to catch 80 pound monsters but hooked 10 to 15 pounders all day! Best day ever fishing Tennessee and will update later about experience with fishing new techniques on my own!!! Absolutely will ... More

I have been fishing since Cub Scout days but I must say my two trips with Captain Tackett was the learning experience of my 55 years of wettin hooks. Readin,reelin and riggin were all explained to answer the many questions I had in reference to catching my personal best of any species. He knows his stuff!!!!

Great day out with the Captain! He out us on a 45lb blue cat in under 30 min! We also landed and quickly released without injury a large paddlefish! Great eve on the water!

Great day out! He out us on a trophy blue cat (~45 lbs) in half an hour. We also landed and released w.o. injury a tangled paddlefish!

Great recommendation from the local Watts Bar Lake Fishing Reports & Forum Facebook page. I told Casey I wanted to get out on the water and let the kids appreciate fishing. Even with a little rain and windy conditions, we had a great time. Casey is a calm/good natured professional who cares about his customer's experience and wanted to make sure we got our money's worth...a few catfish later &... More

Great recommendation from the local Watts Bar Lake Fishing Reports & Forum Facebook page. I told Casey I wanted to get out on the water and let the kids appreciate fishing. Even with a little rain and windy conditions, we had a great time. Casey is a calm/good natured professional who cares about his customer's experience and wanted to make sure we got our money's worth...a few catfish later & a 70+ pounder too...we did. Whether or not we caught a lot of fish, this was an easy transaction, well led, and something I'd recommend to anyone who is short on time and needs a reputable guide service. Less

one of the best fishing experiences I have ever had. Casey is an amazing guide, I caught my personal best flathead and Blue catfish with this charter.. would recommend Mad catters to anyone

The best customer service of any charter ever! We had called a few days before and gotten information and thought we were all set to go out Saturday morning early, so we were at the dock and our guy wasn't there so we ended up calling him asking if we were at the right location only to figure out that we hadn't actually booked and so he didn't have any plans to take us out.

He told us it didn't matter though and if we we're ready to fish it would be glad to go out with us! The cold front made it to be a rough morning out on the water with not even a bite... But our guide was so nice he stayed out there with us all day late into the afternoon just to make sure we caught plenty of fish. We caught some of the biggest cats ever! It was such a great day and I highly recommend this guy cuz he is very knowledgeable and cares about his customers😁 Less

The conditions were less than ideal when we left the dock that morning, yet Casey was able to put us right on the big ones. But, as we all know, it's called fishing and not catching for a reason. The catfish had minds of their own and were not interested. That didn't deter Casey however, and after waiting out a torrential downpour, he was able to put us on them once again, but this time the catf... More

The catfish had minds of their own and were not interested. That didn't deter Casey however, and after waiting out a torrential downpour, he was able to put us on them once again, but this time the catfish were ready to eat. I brought home a large mess of catfish and had a delicious fish fry with my family. I had a great time fishing with Casey, even during the slow time. He is extremely knowledgeable about the lake and is a great conversationalist to boot. Thank you Casey for a much needed day on the lake! Less

We had an unbelievable time on the lake with Casey. We have taken 2 trips so far and many more to come. Both times the conditions were not ideal and yet he finds the fish. The knowledge, experience, and professionalism Casey has is second to none. Let me add that the boat and equipment are top notch. We caught fish and had a wonderful time in a beautiful area.

We alsp had a blast catching bait! He had plenty ready for us but that is an experience in its self. Not only would I highly recommend Mad Catters, I will definitely be back and will be bringing others. You will not be disappointed!! Thanks Casey!! Less
