What to Expect on the Water

From the moment you step on the boat, you're in for a treat. We'll cruise out at first light, when the lake's mirror-smooth and the fish are hungry. Your guide's been fishing these waters for years, so they know every hidden honey hole and secret structure where the big ones like to hide. We're talking about spots that don't show up on any map – the kind of places only locals know about. You'll have plenty of time to try different techniques, from finesse fishing with soft plastics to working topwater lures across shallow flats. And don't worry if you're new to this – your guide's there to show you the ropes, offer tips, and make sure you're having a blast the whole time.

Top Catches This Season

Central Texas is bass country, plain and simple. We're targeting smallmouth bass on this trip, and let me tell you, these bronzebacks fight like they've got something to prove. They love to hang out around rocky points and dropoffs, so we'll be hitting those areas hard. But that's not all – we're also after crappie, and these waters are known for producing some real slabs. We'll use light tackle and small jigs to entice these tasty panfish from their hideouts in submerged brush and standing timber. The best part? Both these species are active year-round, so no matter when you book, you're in for some rod-bending action.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about spending a full day on the water, and our 8-hour trip gives you plenty of time to really dial in your technique and pattern the fish. You're not rushed, so you can take your time exploring different areas of the lake and trying various presentations. It's also a great chance to pick your guide's brain – these folks have seen it all, and they're more than happy to share their knowledge. Plus, with a two-person max capacity, you're getting a truly personalized experience. Whether you're looking to land that personal best or just enjoy a relaxing day away from it all, this trip delivers.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Smallmouth Bass: These hard-fighting fish are the main attraction in Central Texas lakes. Known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps, smallmouth bass will test your skills and your gear. They typically range from 1-4 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a 5+ pounder – they're out there! Smallies love rocky areas and current, so we'll focus on points, ledges, and any underwater structure we can find. They're most active in the cooler months, but you can catch them year-round if you know where to look.

Crappie: Don't let their size fool you – these panfish are a blast to catch and even better to eat. Central Texas lakes are home to both black and white crappie, with average sizes ranging from 3/4 to 1 1/2 pounds. The real fun comes when you find a school – it's not uncommon to catch dozens in a single spot. Crappie love to suspend around brush piles and standing timber, so we'll use our electronics to locate these fish-holding structures. Spring is prime time for crappie fishing, but we catch them all year long using the right techniques.
