About Your Trip

Bass fishing is a popular activity on Lake Travis, with many anglers coming from all over the country to enjoy the excellent largemouth bass fishing. Hop on board with Captain Jake for an exciting day on Lake Travis.

The lake's more than 18,000 acres of water and numerous underwater structures provide ample opportunity for successful bass fishing trips. In addition, the flooded vegetation around the lake creates ideal conditions for largemouth bass to spawn and feed. Anglers who join Captain Jake are bound to catch some monster Largemouth and Striped Bass.

Captain Jake can accommodate 3 people on these 4-hour (half-day) and 8-hour (full-day) adventures. During this trip, you will learn the latest and most effective techniques and how to adapt your presentation to your environment. No fishing experience is required! Anglers of all ages and skill levels are welcome. Heavy-duty spinning or baitcasting gear is often necessary in order to handle the largemouth bass that are found in the lake.

Anglers who Join Captain Jake on his beautiful bass boat will be well on their way to having a successful Bass fishing trip on Lake Travis. All equipment will be provided including high-quality fishing rods and a variety of lures. Also, life jackets are provided for all guests during the trip and sharp hooks will be handled by your guide.
