Atlas Outfitters is a full-service fishing and hunting guide operation based in Shelbyville, Tennessee. We run trips on Tims Ford Lake, Woods Reservoir, Normandy Lake, and the Elk River — some of the best water in Middle Tennessee for bass, crappie, catfish, and more.
Whether you're a seasoned angler chasing trophy smallmouth or a first-timer who's never held a rod, we've got you covered. All gear provided, all skill levels welcome. We also run guided duck, deer, and turkey hunts in season. Show up, have fun, and let us handle the rest.
Something for every angler and hunter
Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass on Tims Ford, Woods Reservoir, and Normandy. Half-day and full-day trips available.
Spider rigging, slip floats, and jig fishing for slab crappie. Best in spring and fall when they're stacked up and hungry.
Summer night runs targeting big channel cats and blues. Cut bait, stink bait, and patience. Great for groups and families.
Wade trips on the Elk River for smallmouth and rock bass. Loaner fly gear available. Perfect for a quiet day on the water.
Guided duck hunts with blinds, decoy spreads, and calling. We put you where the birds want to be. Per-gun pricing.
Team-building trips for groups of 6+. Multiple boats, gear for everyone, lunch included. A day your team won't forget.
We do the work so you have the fun
We fish these lakes year-round. We know the structure, the seasonal patterns, and where the fish are right now — not last month.
Rods, reels, tackle, bait, life jackets — everything you need is on the boat. Just bring yourself and a cooler.
We capture the big catches and the great moments. Every trip includes photos sent straight to your phone.
Never fished before? No problem. We'll teach casting, knots, and technique. Youth and beginner trips are our specialty.
Real trips, real fish, real reviews
"Took my two boys out for their first bass fishing trip on Tims Ford. The guide was patient, taught them to cast, and they both caught fish within the first hour. Best Saturday we've had in years."
"Booked a corporate outing for our sales team — 12 people, three boats. Atlas Outfitters handled everything. Lunch, gear, photos. We caught over 60 crappie. Already rebooked for next quarter."
"Did a duck hunt in December. Blind was set up perfectly, decoys looked great, and the guide's calling was the real deal. Limited out by 9 AM. Professional operation from start to finish."
