CHASE CAREY FISHING

Chase Carey is a skilled B.A.S.S Open angler from Buford, Georgia, who has made significant strides in competitive fishing. In 2024, alongside his partner Dylan Akins, Carey earned the prestigious Bassmaster College Series Team of the Year title while representing Emmanuel University in Franklin Springs, Georgia.

Their consistent performance throughout the season culminated in a top-five finish at the Strike King Bassmaster College National Championship held at Lake Hartwell, securing them the overall Team of the Year honors.

Akins and Carey were standout competitors on the Bassmaster College Series Legends Trail, competing across challenging venues in South Carolina, Tennessee, and Michigan. Their strong finish at the National Championship and earlier events showcased their commitment, teamwork, and elite angling skill. This achievement marked a major milestone in Carey’s career, highlighting his rise as one of the top young names in college bass fishing.

Chase’s journey began much earlier. He was the Buford Freshman Angler of the Year and qualified for the B.A.S.S. High School National Championship, which was held on Kentucky Lake. Among his most memorable achievements during his high school career was a solo second-place finish on Lake Lanier, where he also earned the Big Fish Award—his top individual high school performance and a defining moment in his early angling development.

Now, Chase Carey is transitioning into a professional role as a bass fishing guide, offering trips on two of Georgia’s premier lakes: Lake Lanier and Lake Hartwell. These fisheries are known for their abundant spotted and largemouth bass and serve as ideal locations for anglers to learn, grow, and enjoy the outdoors.

Carey’s main focus as a guide is helping young anglers prepare for high school tournaments and eventually advance to the college level, just as he did. Whether working with serious young competitors or families just looking to enjoy a day on the water, he emphasizes both skill-building and having a great time outdoors. With his competitive background, deep local knowledge, and passion for mentorship, Carey brings unmatched value to every fishing trip he leads.
