Thanks for visiting CartersLakeGuideService.com! My name is Louie Bartenfield. I have been a guide on Carters Lake since 2004, primarily targeting it's huge population of Trophy Spotted Bass. I grew up on Carters Lake and have won numerous tournaments on there and other local lakes such as Lake Allatoona and Lake Chickamauga.

I am one of the few guides in the country who specialize in catching Trophy Spotted Bass. Live bait or artificial, you are in the right place. From family outings with kids catching their first fish, to pre-tournament preparation, day or night I can accommodate all size trips comfortably.

 I've spent thousands of on water hours teaching sonar interpretation including Side Imaging Technology, graph orientation, sonar sight fishing and clear water techniques such as drop shots, jigging spoons, suspending jerkbait, deep water cranking, Fish Head Spins, and any other techniques for deep water structure fishing. If you want help learning your new sonar/side imaging unit, I am your guide !!!

I offer special rates for on water sonar trips, we will go in detail until you fully understand and comprehend your unit.

I also offer Trophy Float N Fly trips throughout the winter months !!!
