Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Captain. Sam Powell, a lifelong fisherman and licensed guide on Lake Wylie. I’ve spent countless hours learning these waters and the habits of the fish that call it home.
I started guiding because I love sharing the excitement of fishing — whether it’s helping a first-time angler reel in their first crappie or guiding a seasoned fisherman to the biggest catfish of their life. My goal is simple: give you a great day on the water, put fish in the boat, and send you home with memories that last.
Safety and comfort are always my priority. My boat is fully equipped with top-quality gear, safety equipment, and everything you’ll need for a great day of fishing.
