Bass fishing is like raising children—both require patience, superior breath-holding skills, and a pocket full of worms to entice cooperation. Catch your next meal with today's Groupon: for $110, you get a half-day fishing trip for two, including supplies, boat use, and non-alcoholic drinks, from Fishing with Rusty (up to a $225 value).

Drifting atop the rippling tides of Lake Wylie, Lake Norman, or Lake Wateree, professional bass fisherman Rusty White accompanies fishing duos during half-day nautical treks. Rusty coaches casting tandems of all experience levels as he escorts them to fishing hotspots, where fishers can reel in largemouth and spotted bass and challenge them to three-legged races upon surfacing. Utilizing the tackle and equipment provided, fish fetchers are free to glean new techniques under Rusty's guidance or work on developing unrefined approaches such as flipping and pitching or wooing curious aquatic vertebrates into the boat with a gentle recital of "The Road Not Taken." Complimentary non-alcoholic beverages are on-hand to moisten dry pipes or toast to a flawless cast while skimming ebbs for the perfect catch.
