Your captain
Capt. Nathan Rabb
I grew up on Lake Hartwell and have fished it my entire life. My goal on every trip is simple: put you on fish, keep it safe and easy, and make sure the kids leave wanting to come back. Whether you have never held a rod or you have your own boat at the dock, you will get a straight answer and a good day on the water.
The boat is a 22' Tracker fishing barge — stable, roomy, shaded, and set up for six people to fish comfortably at the same time.
