About Your Trip

Spring Fishing report: Several lakes are fishing good right now in the central Texas area. We are catching 15-30 or more on a half day trip on Travis, Decker, LBJ and Buchanan. There are other lakes doing good as well. There are fish shallow and deep, but the big fish are shallow right now as they are spawning or close to it.

If you are after that fish of a lifetime or just bigger fish, Lake Falcon and Choke Canyon is producing some great quality fish right now.

It's always a great time to get that child on some fish. I would be happy to help you do that so book your trip today!

About Your Guide

Captain Bryan

Independent Guide 24 yrs of exp.

Hi, I'm Bryan. I'm a licensed bass fishing guide and I will use my extensive knowledge of the area lakes to provide the best guide service available. I have over 46 years of fishing experience, but have been focused solely on freshwater techniques in the past 26 years while guiding for over 24. My total commitment to the sport and future of bass fishing ensures that every trip is an informative experience.

Experienced anglers will appreciate my knowledge of the lakes and productive fishing techniques. Beginners will enjoy learning to catch fish as I will provide instruction in a patient and effective manner. I will work hard to provide a memorable fishing trip tailored to your interests.

In addition to providing a top quality, client-focused fishing guide service, I also compete in local, regional and national bass tournaments. I compete in some of the regions top circuits including Texas Team Trail, BassChamps, MLF and other local and state tournaments. I've also fished in the local BASS Regional events where I've won the title of Angler of the Year for the North Central Region which includes over 38 bass clubs along with many top 10 and top 5 finishes. It's a great honor to have accomplished this with so many great fishermen and fisherwomen in this region. I have also competed in 5 different bass clubs, getting AOY in all of them 7 times combined.

Bryan got us hooked onto over a dozen Bass! He was knowledgeable of all the fishing holes and techniques. We had a great time and good laughs! Highly recommend.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
