Every trip meets at the same place: Kowaliga Restaurant at 295 Kowaliga Marina Rd in Alexander City, which the site names as the guest meeting point, with a map marking the primary fishing area that moves through the year with conditions. Jimmy Chad Miller leads the guide team and states 25 years of experience, and the service runs on Lake Martin alone. The species list is wide for a single reservoir and covers spotted bass, largemouth, smallmouth, striped bass, crappie, and catfish, with crappie and bass named as the specialty. Trips come in two lengths. Six hour charters are $625 and are offered in three framings, one built around families, one around beginners, and one around anglers who already fish seriously, all covering the same catfish, crappie, and bass water. The eight hour full day is $750. Dates can be checked against an availability calendar and reserved through the booking pages on the site, and gift cards are sold there as well. Alabama freshwater fishing licenses are not included and anglers buy their own. The site also publishes trip reports from the lake, a target species page, and a catch gallery.
