On behalf of the entire Aikens Team, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for choosing Aikens Lake Wilderness Lodge as your fishing destination this past season. We can’t express how much our “Aikens Family” means to us—and each of you makes up such an important part of that family.

It was a season that started strong, and thanks to your dedication, loyalty, and unwavering support through the craziness we experienced this summer, we were able to finish strong. Your enthusiasm on the water, your energy around the lodge, and your trust in our team carried us through.

It was great to once again have the guide boats buzzing around the bays, reefs, and rivers, to a dining room filled with stories and laughter, to Big Molly’s Bar hopping every evening, the energy you brought to Aikens made 2025 unforgettable.

With the 2025 season now in the rearview mirror, our sights are set on 2026. We are excited to host the majority of you again in the upcoming season; in fact, our rebooking rate has already reached 65%!

We want to take this opportunity to announce that our “Rebooking Campaign” is now underway. Upon cashout at the lodge, groups are given the opportunity to reserve their dates for the following season, without any deposit required at the time. We hold those dates until this time of year, at which time we finalize details and firm up the bookings.

For those of you who pre-booked dates for next year, your deposits ($1000/person) are all that is needed now to finalize your stay in 2026.

We will be reaching out shortly to confirm that your dates still work. Most of our guests secure their preferred dates and cabins before the New Year, so don’t miss your chance to lock things in!

To our interested first-timers, you also can benefit by booking early. Our 2025 pricing—currently listed on the website—will remain in effect until December 31, 2025, after which we will transition to 2026 pricing. Booking early ensures the best availability and the best rate.

Pit and Pat are back in their winter offices, manning the phones and emails throughout the offseason. Whether you’re ready to finalize your 2026 adventure or simply want to chat, we’re here and happy to connect.

It was our pleasure to see so many of you this summer, and we can’t wait to welcome you back soon. To those we’ve already spoken with this fall, thank you for your continued support—we’re already excited to see you on the lake in 2026.

Thank you for choosing the Aikens Experience.
