Meet Captain Jerimiah Graves

Capt. Jerimiah’s journey on the water began long before he founded Finn Finders Guide Service. With a lifetime spent navigating the intricate river systems and reservoirs of Middle Tennessee, he has developed an intuitive understanding of fish behavior and seasonal patterns. For Jerimiah, fishing isn't just a career; it’s a craft defined by patience and persistence. His expertise in targeting Hybrid Striped Bass and Crappie is built on years of hands-on experience, ensuring that every guest benefits from a deep-rooted local knowledge that simply can’t be found in a guidebook or on a map.

Beyond his technical skill with a rod and reel, Jerimiah is known for his welcoming and patient demeanor. He believes that a day on the water should be as much about the "how" and "why" as it is about the catch itself. Whether he is teaching a child how to cast for the first time or discussing advanced electronics and sonar tactics with a seasoned angler, his goal is to leave every guest more confident in their own abilities. This commitment to education creates a relaxed, low-pressure environment where the focus is on the joy of the sport and the beauty of Percy Priest Lake.

A day with Capt. Jerimiah is often described as therapeutic—a necessary escape from the hustle of "Music City." He takes pride in being more than just a boat captain; he is a steward of the local environment who finds genuine fulfillment in sharing the tranquility of the outdoors with others. By prioritizing guest comfort and individual goals, he has established himself as a trusted figure in the Nashville fishing community, where his reputation for integrity and hard work ensures that your time on the water is both productive and restorative.

The Boat: Comfort and Performance on the Water

The Finn Finders experience is centered around our custom 22-foot Angler Qwest center console pontoon, a vessel specifically chosen for its versatility and stability. Unlike traditional fishing boats that can feel cramped or tippy, the Angler Qwest offers a massive, flat platform that allows groups and families to move freely and fish comfortably from any side. This state-of-the-art boat combines the fishability of a professional rig with the luxury of a leisure craft, featuring ample seating and high-end electronics. It is the perfect setup for navigating the diverse waters of Percy Priest and Old Hickory, providing a safe, smooth, and spacious environment for a full day of Nashville adventure.
