Bates Guide Service is conveniently located at Jamestown Resort & Marina. We prefer to schedule our trips from this marina. Their TOLL FREE # is (800)830-5131. Be sure and tell them you will be fishing with us for any applicable discounts that might be available! If you are staying at one of the other marinas or resorts on Lake Cumberland, we can arrange to pick you up from the Alligator I, Alligator II, State, and Beaver Creek docks.

All of our charters are private. You pay for only the number of people in your group. And because your time and money are important to you, we start planning for your day long in advance. We watch weather reports, talk with our guides about where they have been catching fish, and catching the bait - this could be anywhere from 2-5 p.m. to 9-12 p.m., and has even been as early as 3-5 a.m. the day of the trip; and sometimes all of the above!
