Meet Captain Rob and Crew

Since 1998, Captain Rob has been guiding anglers on Lake Allatoona. What started as one man's passion has grown into a team of 7 experienced guides running hundreds of trips per year. When you book with First Bite, you're getting the best guides on the lake.

Our philosophy is simple: "Every trip is run like our own grandkids are on the boat." Whether you fish with Captain Rob or one of his hand-picked crew members, you'll get the same expertise, the same family-friendly atmosphere, and the same commitment to putting you on fish.

Over the years, we've had the privilege of introducing countless families to fishing. Some of our earliest young clients are now on college fishing teams—that's the kind of impact this sport can have.

" Robert Eidson is THE Lake Allatoona Fishing Guide. He is everything you could want in a fishing guide. He's GREAT with kids, has a great attitude, and will work very hard to make sure you have a good time. It's easy to tell why Robert is the best fishing guide on Lake Allatoona.

Aaron Sago

Marietta, GA

" Not only will you catch fish when you are out with Capt. Rob, but you will get a 'Doctorate Degree' in how to fish for and more importantly, catch Stripers and Hybrids. It is the best money I spent to shorten the learning curve. He fishes and catches fish on one of these lakes almost every day of the year.

Phil Edwards

Marietta, GA

" 35 fish and 4 hours later I had the best experience of my life. It's like he talks to these fish and tells them where they need to be. The best part was he shared so much valuable information with me that I know I'll have a successful trip on my own boat next time.
