What others are saying...
“ I love fishing unfished waters without a bunch of houses and jet skis nearby and this is an ideal platform to share your passion for fishing with someone special… One of the reasons why we go is to experience different places and when you go somewhere different, you need a guide.” – Lee Woldenberg, customer
“If I wanted to try to catch a trophy large mouth bass in Ohio, and if I had to do it from public waters, I’d choose to fish the AEP ReCreation lands in the southeast section of The Buckeye State” – Chip Gross, “Country Living Magazine”
“So you think you’ve been bass fishing and pretty much done all that your part of the Midwest has to offer? You have been fishing, but you certainly have not experienced it all" – Matt Markey, “The Toledo Blade”

Your guide meets you at the appointed location and brings everything you need including belly boat, fins, rods, reels, tackle, hands on assistance and instruction throughout the day. Bring your own chest waders, rod(s) and tackle if you have them or you can borrow ours if you let us know in advance. We meet at predetermined locations and trek to the designated pond or lake of the day.
Ohio belly boat fishing options include:
1) Hocking HIlls Quarry is a 15 private quarry lake that we have permission to fish. Crystal clear water and large numbers of bass and bluegill make fishing this lake an exciting outing each and every time. It's an easy to get to location located between Lancaster and Logan, Ohio. Meet your guide at lake side for an early morning, mid-day or late afternoon / early evening belly boat fishing trek.
2) Ohio's AEP Recreation Lands (60,000 acres in Muskingum, Noble, Guernsey & Morgan counties), Woodbury Wildlife Area (19,000 acres in Coshocton county) and Tri Valley Recreation Lands (15,000 acres in Muskingum and Coshocton county) combine to host hundreds of small lakes and ponds ideal for a belly boat fishing trek. Built on land once strip mined for its rich coal deposits, each area consists of large sections of wilderness in eastern Ohio. Most of these waters are untouched because of steep banks, thick overgrown shore lines and remote location. The AEP ReCreation lands represent the largest of the three areas but each has waters holding huge numbers of trophy large mouth bass along with fantastic crappie and bluegill fishing. It takes a lifetime to learn where the hot spots are, how to fish them and when to be there. We'll plan a fishing trek that meets your objectives. Whether it's a short trek or a something a little more adventurous, we know the ponds and lakes across the region and where to head for monster bass, bluegill and crappie.
Our Cumberland belly boats are the best belly boats made. Everyone who fishes in them says, "they thought of everything when they made this". These belly boats include 4 separate flotation devices: 2 pontoons, your 6" thick boat cushion seat and your adjustable boat cushion seat back. Back pack straps, zippable gear pockets, lap net and carry all pocket make it an ideal rig to fix up what you need for the day and trek off to a hidden fishing hole. The drink holders are even insulated! Whether you like to bait cast or fly cast, our guided Ohio belly boat fishing treks offer an unparalleled way to spend a day fishing with friends, family or small group.
