This trip is focusing on catching bull reds, and sharks when they are in close to the beachfront. We will use both live and dead bait to attract and hopefully catch the big boys of the bay. As always, all rods, tackle, bait and fish cleaning is included. Do we fish if it’s raining or windy? Safety is a priority. If there are severe storms in the area or if the wind is out of control, I’ll suggest we delay or try to reschedule the trip. There’s no sense in going out and being uncomfortable, and I will never put us in danger. But if it’s just a little rain, let’s go – the fish are already wet! Read More

Hop on board with Scott for an exciting day of fishing on Toledo Bend! On this 6-hour trip on the freshwater reservoir, you'll be targeting Blue Catfish, Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Striped Bass and White Bass. Largemouth Bass is the most popular game fish at Toledo Bend Reservoir and an excellent year-round fishery exists. You can also fish for crappie and catfish all year. Striped bass are maintained by annual stockings because conditions at Toledo Bend usually do not allow a successful natural spawn. Whatever fish you're after, Scott is a friendly guide who will land you some big catches and help you hone in your techniques along the way. You’ll be fishing on Scott’s 25’ Skeeter center console, which is equipped with a GPS, fishfinder and live bait well. It can accommodate 6 anglers. Make sure you bring a valid Texas fishing license, food and drinks of your choice (no glass), a hat, sunscreen, and some good company! Scott will provide the rest. He will also clean any fish you catch for an additional charge. Read More
