THE GUIDES

BRIAN HOLLOWAY

Captain Brian Holloway grew up in Athens, Georgia, with a fishing pole in his hand. Over the years, his passion for saltwater fishing never waned. After moving to Middle Tennessee in 2010, he quickly discovered a new love for hybrid and striped bass fishing. The similarity to saltwater fishing fueled his drive to master targeting these fish. Since then, he has built a reputation as one of the best and most consistent guides in the area. His daily presence on the water ensures that our clients are always catching fish.

BRIAN SCHNEIDER 

Brian Schneider's fishing journey began on the serene banks of Sacramento's Rio Vista and San Joaquin river systems, where he honed his skills with Striper and Sturgeon. This passion evolved into expertise, making him a respected guide for salmon and steelhead in Oregon from 1997 to 2009. In 2001, Brian expanded his horizons to the wild waters of Sitka, Alaska. Over a decade, he mastered the Gulf of Alaska's challenges, excelling in salmon and halibut fishing. Moving to Tennessee in 2009, he dominated fishing tournaments, earning the Fisherman of the Year title three times and winning the Elite Tournament's Fish Off an impressive three times.
