Corporate Fishing Trip at Clarks Hill Lake

Looking to get your team out of the office and onto one of the Southeast's premier fishing destinations? This corporate group trip on Clarks Hill Lake is exactly what you need. Captain Weeks and his network of top-rated charter captains team up to handle big groups - up to 6 per boat - for a day chasing some of the best crappie and striper fishing in the country. Whether you're planning a company outing, family reunion, or just want to get a bunch of friends together for serious fishing action, this is your ticket to world-class fishing on 71,000 acres of prime water straddling the Georgia-South Carolina border.

What to Expect on the Water

When you book this group experience, you're not just getting one boat - you're getting access to a fleet of professional charter operations that work together to make sure your crew has the best possible day. Each boat holds up to 6 anglers, and Captain Weeks coordinates with other renowned Clarks Hill Lake guides to handle larger parties seamlessly. The lake itself is a fishing paradise - this massive reservoir offers everything from shallow creek arms perfect for crappie to deep main lake points where stripers roam. You'll spend the day moving between productive spots, and with multiple boats working together, someone's always going to be on fish. The captains stay in radio contact throughout the day, sharing intel and making sure every boat in your group gets in on the action. Plan to call about 1-2 months ahead for large parties - these popular dates fill up fast, especially during peak fishing seasons.

Techniques & Tackle Setup

Clarks Hill Lake fishing means adapting to what the fish want on any given day, and these experienced captains have it dialed in. For crappie, you'll primarily be fishing structure - submerged timber, brush piles, and creek channels using light tackle and live minnows or small jigs. The lake's flooded timber provides perfect habitat, and knowing exactly where to find these underwater forests separates the pros from the weekend warriors. When targeting stripers, expect to cover water using downriggers, planer boards, or live bait depending on conditions. These fish move constantly, following baitfish schools, so your captain might have you trolling deep points in the morning and switching to topwater action over humps later in the day. All fishing gear is provided, but don't forget your Georgia or South Carolina fishing license - every angler needs their own valid license, and you can snag one online through the link on the charter's homepage.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Crappie are the bread and butter of Clarks Hill Lake, and for good reason - this lake produces some absolute slabs. These fish love the extensive timber structure throughout the lake, and they're catchable year-round with peak action typically happening in spring during the spawn and again in fall when they school up tight. Clarks Hill crappie average 10-12 inches, but don't be surprised to boat fish pushing 14-15 inches - true trophy specimens that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. They're scrappy fighters on light tackle, and there's nothing quite like watching your whole group catch fish after fish when you locate a good school. The bite can be incredibly fast once you find them, which is why having an experienced captain who knows the structure is so valuable.

Striped bass are the lake's marquee predator, and Clarks Hill's population is absolutely stellar. These silver bullets can range from schoolie-sized fish perfect for the cooler to legitimate 20+ pound trophy stripers that'll test your drag and your arms. Peak striper fishing typically runs from late fall through early spring when water temperatures drop and the fish become more aggressive, but summertime fishing can be phenomenal early in the morning or late evening when they push baitfish to the surface. When stripers are feeding on top, it's pure chaos - birds diving, water boiling with baitfish, and stripers crashing through it all. Land one of these fish and you'll understand why anglers travel from across the country to fish Clarks Hill's renowned striper population.
