Lady Blue Adventures Fishing Guides has provided top-quality striper fishing experiences on Lake Hartwell, spanning the Georgia-South Carolina border, led by Captain Rick Cain. Rick has fished Lake Hartwell his entire life and is dedicated to sharing his deep knowledge of the lake’s Savannah, Tugaloo, and Seneca river arms with clients, always exploring new fishing spots along the way.

Rick is also the inventor of the Ricmitiser, a fishing lure designed specifically for stripers, and his expertise has been featured multiple times in Carolina Sportsman magazine, including techniques for catching hot-weather stripers near Hartwell Dam by power-cranking a Palmetto Flutter Spoon for a reaction strike. Using his depthfinder, Rick reads the “noodles” and “spaghetti” patterns on screen that reveal stripers moving up and down the water column feeding on blueback herring.

Trips run up to 4.5 hours, with all equipment and bait furnished, giving guests direct access to an expert guide who knows exactly where the best stripers are holding. The business offers a variety of day striper fishing trips suited to all skill levels, from seasoned anglers looking for a real challenge to complete beginners wanting to learn the basics, along with custom trips built around a group’s specific goals.

Guest reviews consistently describe Rick as an exceptional, unselfish guide who goes above and beyond, with repeat clients specifically praising his patience, his willingness to hand over the rod to let guests enjoy every catch, and the genuine friendships that have grown out of repeat fishing trips over the years.

For anglers looking to fish for striped bass on Lake Hartwell, Lady Blue Adventures offers a highly reviewed, personally guided experience with Captain Rick Cain, inventor of the Ricmitiser and a multi-time Carolina Sportsman feature.
