Get ready to wet a line on some of Central Texas' best waters! Our 6-hour private fishing trip is perfect for anglers looking to make the most of their day on the lake. Whether you're after hard-fighting largemouth bass or tasty crappie, we've got the spots and the know-how to put you on fish. Bring a buddy and let's hit the water!
We'll kick things off bright and early, meeting you at the dock as the sun's coming up. After a quick safety rundown, we'll head out to some prime fishing grounds. Your guide knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll waste no time getting to where the fish are biting. We've got all the gear you need - rods, reels, tackle, and bait - so just bring yourself and maybe a snack for later. As we cruise around, keep an eye out for osprey diving for their breakfast or turtles sunning on logs. It's not just about the fishing; it's about soaking in that Texas lake life.
Depending on what's biting, we might start off working some shoreline structure for bass. Your guide will show you how to flip jigs under overhanging trees or walk a topwater lure across a point. If the crappie are schooled up, we'll break out the live minnows and light tackle. Don't worry if you're new to this - we'll teach you everything you need to know. And for you seasoned anglers, we've got some tricks up our sleeve that might just land you a new personal best. We'll adjust our tactics throughout the day based on what the fish are telling us. That's the beauty of a longer trip - we've got time to figure out what's working and really dial it in.
Largemouth Bass: These bucketmouths are the stars of the show in Central Texas. They can grow up to 10 pounds or more in our waters, and they fight like crazy. Spring and fall are prime times for big bass, but we catch 'em year-round. Look for them around submerged timber, weed edges, and rocky points. There's nothing quite like the explosion of a big bass smashing a topwater lure at dawn.
Crappie: Don't let their size fool you - these "papermouths" are a blast to catch and even better to eat. They school up, so when you find 'em, it's often fast action. Spring is the best time as they move shallow to spawn, but we can find them throughout the year. Crappie love to hang around brush piles and bridge pilings. A limit of these tasty panfish makes for one heck of a fish fry!
Folks love our 6-hour trips because it gives us plenty of time to really work the lake. We're not rushed, so we can try different spots and techniques until we find what's working. It's also a great chance to learn new skills - whether that's finessing a soft plastic for bass or reading your electronics to find crappie schools. Plus, with just you and a buddy on board, you'll get plenty of one-on-one instruction from your guide. And let's be honest, there's something special about being out on the water as the day unfolds, watching the lake come to life around you.

Crappie are fun little panfish that school up in our lakes. Most run 7-12 inches, perfect for the frying pan. You'll find 'em hanging around brush piles, fallen trees, and other cover in 6-15 feet of water. They like to suspend, so fishing vertically often works best. Spring is prime time when they move shallow to spawn, but you can catch 'em year-round. Folks enjoy crappie fishing 'cause it's laid-back - you can relax, chat, and still catch plenty. Plus, they're arguably the best-tasting freshwater fish around. Light tackle adds to the fun - even smaller ones put up a nice little scrap. Here's a local tip: come fall, look for crappie stacked up on deep brush piles. Drop a small jig tipped with a minnow right in the middle of 'em. Let it fall slowly - often they'll hit it on the way down. When your line goes slack, set the hook. You might just pull up a slab!
Largemouth bass are the kings of our Central Texas lakes, usually running 2-6 pounds but some real lunkers out there too. You'll find 'em lurking around submerged trees, weed beds, and dock pilings. They're ambush predators, so look for structure. Spring and fall are prime times when they're feeding heavily. Folks love chasing largemouth 'cause they put up a heck of a fight - these fish will leap clear out of the water trying to throw your hook. They've got a reputation for being finicky, but once you figure 'em out, it's addictive. One local trick: on sunny days, try working a slow-moving worm along shady banks. The bass often tuck up under overhanging trees to stay cool and wait for an easy meal. Patience is key - let that lure sit still for a bit. When you feel that telltale thump, set the hook hard and hang on!
