This trip is perfect for anglers looking to chase big, aggressive freshwater sportfish in South Texas! On this trip, you'll be fishing Falcon Lake for big ol' Catfish, Gar, and Largemouth Bass—three big-time species that are exciting for anglers of all levels. Each of these species has totally different behavior, prey, and naturally, you'll use different fishing techniques to hook 'em up. Gar are ambush predators that hunt near the middle of the water column, grabbing baitfish and even small birds and animals in their sharp teeth. You'll use cut bait on steel leaders to hook these prehistoric predators, which fight extremely hard and can be a real challenge to get on the boat! Catfish are bottomfeeders that eat all kinds of baits. You'll bottomfish for these big fish, and then fight them up to the surface on heavier tackle. Finally, Largemouth Bass are opportunistic feeders that love to hit worms, baitfish, frogs, and more. You'll fish for these guys using light-tackle cast and retrieve techniques with a variety of baits and lures. You'll be fishing aboard Captain Joshua's 15' utility boat. She has a shallow draft and a big deck to give you access to lots of water, and is kitted out for a successful trip. Get out there and have a blast! Read More

Three full 8+ hour days chasing the world's largest Alligator Gar specimens with the guru himself Mark! The three days allows you the opportunity to try multiple different spots to really find the biggest possible Alligator Gar. The trip includes hotel lodging for 2 nights, along with breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the three days you'll be fishing. You will be in a different hotel from Mark, but his will be close by so you can easily meet up in the mornings to head out. Mark usually doesn't decide which location will be the best until weeks before his trip so arrangements for lodging will have to be ironed out further down the road. Mark says he likes to make the reservations well in advance but 8 months is a little too far out. Mark has plenty of Alligator Gar honey holes all over the state from Texarkana all the way down to San Antonio, but to find the big specimens takes a lot of scouting. Luckily for planning purposes, all his best spots are within 2 hours of Houston, some much closer. Each trip will start around sun-up, and you will fish for at least 8 hours each day. If you haven't had your fill in 8 hours, Mark will happily stay out longer to make sure you catch your fish! You will be fishing big slow-moving water where these creatures lurk. When Mark is Giant Gar fishing he always has at least 3, sometimes 4, rods in the water, all with top of the line reels and around 300 yards of braided line, drifting 3/0 treble hooks down stream. You need this much line spooled because these gar eat very slow. Mark often lets them run over 200 yards before attempting to set the hook. Mark will provide all the Rods, Reels, Steel Leaders, Bait, Snacks and Drinks for your trip. All you're required to bring is your Texas All Water License. Read More
