Seasonal patterns, lure selection, casting technique, and how to find fish with modern electronics — explained as we go.

Meet Your Guide

Chase Powell

I started Black Bill Dance Outdoors for one reason: nothing beats the look on someone's face when a giant largemouth crushes their bait. I've spent years learning these lakes — the seasonal moves, the electronics, the little details that turn a slow day into a great one — and my favorite part of guiding is handing that knowledge over.

Whether it's your first bass or your new personal best, my job is simple: put you on fish, teach you something real, and make sure you leave with a story worth telling. All bass. No ego.
