Premium Clarks Hill Striper Trips for Big Groups

Clarks Hill Lake Striped Bass Fishing Charter

When you're looking for a top-rated striper fishing experience that can handle your whole crew, William Sasser Guide Service delivers exactly what you need on Clarks Hill Lake. This isn't your typical solo fishing trip – we're talking about big group charters designed for families, friends, and corporate teams who want to get serious about catching striped bass. With boats that accommodate up to 6 anglers each and the flexibility to add multiple boats for larger groups, everyone gets their shot at landing quality fish. We run just one group per day, which means you get personalized attention and the kind of service that keeps customers coming back year after year.

What to Expect on the Water

Your day starts with a scheduled departure time that puts you right where the stripers are feeding. Clarks Hill Lake spans over 71,000 acres across Georgia and South Carolina, giving us plenty of water to work with, but after years of guiding these waters, we know exactly where to find the fish. The boat comes fully rigged with everything you need – rods, reels, tackle, and fresh bait – so you can focus on what matters: hooking up with some serious striped bass. The atmosphere is relaxed but focused, perfect for groups who want to learn while they fish. Whether you've got experienced anglers or complete beginners in your party, everyone gets the same level of attention and instruction. The lake's clear waters and abundant structure create ideal conditions for stripers, and with only your group on the boat, there's no rushing between spots or cutting trips short.

Techniques You'll Master

Striper fishing on Clarks Hill requires reading the water and adapting to what the fish are doing. During spring and fall, we'll work the main lake points and creek mouths where baitfish concentrate. Summer means targeting deeper structure and following the thermocline where stripers stay comfortable in cooler water. We use a mix of live bait presentations and artificial lures, depending on what's producing. You'll learn to work downlines with live herring, cast topwater plugs during surface feeding frenzies, and troll umbrella rigs when fish are scattered. The key is staying mobile and adjusting tactics as conditions change throughout the day. Our boats are equipped with quality fish finders and GPS, so we can mark productive areas and return to proven spots. The tackle is sized right for Clarks Hill stripers – strong enough to handle big fish but light enough to feel every bite and fight.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"On February 18, 2023, Bradd took four participants of Camp Rainbow (Care and Shear) on a fishing trip at Lake Thurmond. They are parents of children fighting cancer or blood disorders. The trip was fenomenal and the fishing great. I wasn't disappointed and I am coming back. Bradd, thanks for Sharing with us you time and equipment." - Roger

"Very accommodating, extremely professional and always willing to go the extra mile to support his customers. Been fishing with this family since 2008. Never a bad experience!" - Edward

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped bass are the crown jewel of Clarks Hill Lake, and for good reason. These hard-fighting fish can reach impressive sizes here, with quality fish ranging from 5 to 15 pounds and trophy stripers pushing 20 pounds or more. What makes Clarks Hill stripers special is their aggressive nature and the variety of ways you can catch them. In spring, they move shallow to spawn, creating opportunities for sight fishing and topwater action that gets your heart pumping. Summer finds them schooled up in deeper water, following massive baitfish schools and feeding heavily during low-light periods. Fall brings some of the year's best action as stripers fatten up for winter, often feeding on the surface in spectacular fashion. Winter fishing can be slower but produces some of the biggest fish of the year for patient anglers. The fight these fish put up is legendary – long runs, powerful head shakes, and multiple jumps that test your drag and your skills. Landing a good striper is always satisfying, but doing it with your friends or family watching makes it even better.
