About Your Trip

Spend five days and four nights out on Devil's River fishing for Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass with your guide, Shane. Shane will share his intimate knowledge of fishing and paddle craft, as he provides you with the opportunity to fish for a wide variety of Texas' most popular fresh water game fish.

The Devil's River is one of the best Smallmouth Bass fisheries in Texas, and although it's an intense paddle, it's absolutely worth it. The trip will begin by meeting with Shane and his shuttle driver, JD, the first morning. JD will then take you and Shane to the river, where you'll launch by 8:30am and get started.

You'll spend all day fishing, and enjoy a camp every night complete with meals and a cozy fire. Shane will take care of all of the gear and set up for camps and meals. The trip will end by once again meeting up with JD to take you back.

All of Shane's kayaks are also completely customized for fishing, with special fishing rigs and seats to keep you comfortable for the entire trip. He also has canoes that can be used if preferred, if there's a large group with extra gear, or if there are kids who aren't quite ready for the kayak.

All you need is a Texas fishing license, clothing, toiletries, and a bed roll, and Shane will be ready to take you on an adventure!

Had an amazing time with Shane on our Brazos river kayak trip. He was a phenomenal guide and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great fishing trip. Would absolutely do again!

We vet our guides to make sure they are the best of the best. We want guides who not only put you on 'em, but show you a great time, keep you safe, and give you a memorable experience with your group.

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!

In the case of inclement weather, our guides will make the call and we'll work with you to reschedule your trip or issue a credit for the full deposit of the trip to be used on any of our trips across the country. Your safety is our top concern.

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!
