About Your Guide

Captain Bryan

Outfitter 16 yrs of exp.

Captain Bryan offers the best freshwater Redfish trips you'll find anywhere. Yeah, you read that right- freshwater redfish trips on Lake Calaveras are something you need to see to believe!

Every year, Texas Parks and Wildlife bi-annually releases over 600,000 red drum ("Redfish") into Calaveras Lake. Captain Bryan will set up his 21' Carolina Skiff for downrigging to put your group on the Redfish. Lake Calaveras also offers up sizable Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Striped Bass ("Stripers") and more.

Captain Bryan's 21' Carolina Skiff is complete with twin 150 HP Johnson engines, GPS, fishfinder, radar, VHF radio, and safety gear.

Captain Bryan provides all necessary fishing gear and tackle, including top-quality Penn rods and reels. All live bait will be caught from the lake and is included in the price of your trip.

To end your trip, Captain Bryan will clean and fillet your catch so you can head home with a fresh catch for dinner.

Meet Captain Bryan with your fishing licenses, a cooler full of snacks and drinks, favorite shades, and get ready to reel in some giants!

Fill in date, party size, trip duration, and start time above to book and get out there with Captain Bryan and Captain Experiences!

Captain Bryan knows Lake Calaveras. He has been guiding guests for 13 years. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He found the drum school and put us on them. We limited out and had a great time!!! We will be back soon!!!

Bryan can put you on the fish! Caught & released plus or minus 25 reds in about 3 hours, and at 2 points we had four fish on the lines at the same time. Freshwater reds are a bucket lister for anyone.

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!
