Let Bubba's Fishing Guide Service introduce you to Lake Powell, "The Gem of the Colorado."  Fish the crystal clear waters for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass or striped bass.  Our fully outfitted guide trip will take you into the midst of what is truly a scenic fishing wonderland.  Lake Powell has nearly 2,000 miles of fish-holding shoreline and provides a fishing adventure unequaled in the Southwest.

Captain Jim Cliburn and Chris Cliburn

Fish from fully-equipped Ranger bass boats, using only the best quality equipment and baits. You will enjoy a day designed to thrill and delight your party. Our boats and tackle are professionally maintained in peak performance condition.

Over 50 years of Lake Powell experience.  Jerry "Bubba" Puckett started the fishing guide service in 1988 and will always be founder and chief advisor.   Jerry's long time friend and partner Jim Cliburn now owns and operates Bubba's Fishing Guide Service with his son, Chris Cliburn.  The service and reputation is and has always been the best on Lake Powell.  Jim, Chris and their staff will share their 50 years of Lake Powell experience with you. 

We cater to singles, couples, kids, and families.  Jim will customize your trip just for you. Good Fishing!

What Equipment to Bring?

You don't need to bring anything! All you need is a fishing license and a desire to have fun - Jim and his experienced staff will take care of everything else.  We will provide all the top quality bait and tackle needed for an enjoyable and productive fishing day.   We always carry a large supply of premium Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits in the best styles, shapes and colors that the fish are hitting at all times.

We will provide topwater lures, jerk baits, spinnerbaits, spoons, plastic worms, and hula grubs, and teach you when and where they work and how you use them.  This is the type of fishing trip that will make you a better fisherman.  If you're looking to refine techniques or learn new ones, this is your opportunity to really 'dial in' the clear water patterns that work.

Dress for Success! Lake Powell is 3,700 feet above sea level at full pool.  Mornings and evenings may be cool even in the summertime.  A sweatshirt layered over shorts and a T-shirt, topped with a windproof shell will provide comfort almost year-round on Lake Powell.  You will need a hat and sunglasses.  Ask for specific recommendations when booking your trip.

Hungry? Let's Eat! We provide delicious deli lunches prepared daily to ensure freshness and quality.  Plenty of fresh water, soft drinks and snacks are onboard at all times.
