Fish. Pick. Hang. All Weekend Long.

Beyond the barn-rocking bluegrass sets and intimate picking circles, you’ll find premiere bass fishing on Goose Lake, a 100-acre private paradise of angling heaven.

When your arms get tired from reeling in lunkers, cool off with a swim, hit the hiking trails, or kick back on the community dock to swap fish stories.

Come Hungry. Leave Full.

The Bass & Grass experience is fueled by unforgettable Southern cooking. Hearty brunches, family-style dinners, plenty of strong coffee, and of course the world-famous fish fry.

Expect all day barbecue aromas, shared tables, second helpings, and laughter. All included in the price of admission.

  • I grew up learning to play music with my family out on the porch. Somewhere along the way, we seem to lose that realness, that connection and authenticity. Bass and Grass is where I go to find that again. It's all about the music, the community and the love.
