Meet your Captain

Captain Daniel Berthiaume has been fishing Smith Mountain lake for over 15 years. “Captain Bert” is one of a select group of elite Striper Guides on the lake who combines tremendous results with top notch customer service. As our lead guide Captain Bert is responsible for training and mentoring our guide staff. He personally oversees the outfitting of each charter boat with tackle, electronics, bait storage tanks. Captain Bert develops the days fishing plan for his charter staff. While on the water Bert communicates and coordinates our charter fleet to get our Captains on the big fish – on time and on target!

Captain Daniel Berthiaume made a name for himself net minding in the NHL for 8 seasons as well as other professional hockey teams including the Roanoke Express and the Greensboro Generals. When you book a trip with Capt. Bert not only will you be able to share experiences and knowledge in both the sport of fishing as well as the world of professional ice hockey, but you’ll also hear about the many striper citations that have landed in his net!

About the Boat

Captain Bert’s 2020 Sportsman Masters 247 is equipped to get you and your fishing party on the fish quickly, and comfortably. A 300 HP Yamaha outboard means we can get you on around the lake in short order, no matter where the stripers are breaking. Our state of the art electronics suite includes a fully integrated Garmin 1242 Force 57 sonar/ side looking sonar bundle and navigation system.

Bert’s top of the line tackle, rods and reels ensures that when we get em’ on the hook – we’ll get em’ in the boat. Add it all up and you get one of the best equipped dedicated striper fishing boats on Smith Mountain Lake!
