Get ready to cast your line and create some unforgettable memories on our 6-hour private fishing charter in the heart of Texas! Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, this half-day trip is the perfect way to experience the best freshwater fishing our state has to offer. We'll hit both river and lake spots, giving you a taste of diverse fishing environments and techniques. So grab your hat and sunscreen, and let's get out on the water!
Our day kicks off bright and early at 7:00 AM, when the fish are most active and the water's nice and calm. We'll cruise out to some of our favorite fishing holes, where you'll have the chance to try your hand at a variety of fishing methods. From bottom fishing for those big catfish to light tackle action for crappie, we've got all the bases covered. And don't worry if you're new to this - our expert guides will be right there to show you the ropes and help you land that trophy catch.
On this trip, we'll introduce you to a smorgasbord of fishing techniques. We'll start with some bottom fishing, perfect for nabbing those hefty catfish lurking in the depths. Then we might switch it up with some light tackle action, ideal for the more finicky fish like crappie. If the conditions are right, we'll try our hand at popping for striped bass - there's nothing quite like the excitement of a topwater strike! We'll also cover trolling, spinning, and drift fishing throughout the day, so you'll get a well-rounded fishing education. Our boat's decked out with all the gear you need, from rods and reels to bait and tackle, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm and maybe a snack or two.

Blue Catfish: These whiskered giants are the heavyweight champs of our waters. Blue cats can grow to impressive sizes, with some monsters tipping the scales at over 100 pounds! They're bottom-dwellers, so we'll use heavy tackle and bait to entice them. Blue cats are most active in the cooler months, but we can catch them year-round. Anglers love targeting blues for their strong fights and excellent table fare.
Crappie: Don't let their size fool you - these pan-sized fish pack a punch when it comes to both fight and flavor. Crappie are known for their paper-thin mouths and light bites, making them a fun challenge for anglers of all skill levels. We typically target crappie in the spring when they move to shallow waters to spawn, but they can be caught year-round if you know where to look. Their flaky, white meat makes them a favorite for fish fries.
Striped Bass: Hold onto your hats when a striper hits! These powerful fish are known for their explosive strikes and hard-charging runs. Stripers in our waters can reach sizes of 20 pounds or more, providing an exciting battle on medium to heavy tackle. We often target them by trolling or casting near structure where they ambush their prey. The best time to catch stripers is usually early morning or late evening when they're most active. Anglers love stripers for their challenging fight and tasty fillets.
Folks, let me tell you - there's something special about fishing these Texas waters. Maybe it's the thrill of feeling that first tug on your line, or the satisfaction of reeling in a big ol' catfish. Could be the peaceful moments watching the sun rise over the water, or the laughs shared with friends and family as you swap fishing stories. Whatever it is, our customers keep coming back for more. We've had families make this trip an annual tradition, buddies using it as their go-to guys' day out, and even a few marriage proposals (talk about catching a keeper!).
Our seasoned guides know these waters like the back of their hand. They'll not only put you on the fish but also share local lore, fishing tips, and maybe even their secret recipes for the perfect fish fry. And let's not forget the boat - it's comfortable, well-maintained, and stocked with everything you need for a successful day on the water. No need to lug around heavy gear or worry about forgetting something important.
Alright, folks - if you're itching to get out on the water and try your luck against some of Texas' finest freshwater fish, now's the time to book your trip. Remember, we're talking about a private charter here, so it's just you and your buddy (or family member, or whoever you want to share this adventure with). That means personalized attention from your guide and the flexibility to focus on whatever type of fishing interests you most.
This 6-hour trip is available Monday through Saturday during the season, but spots fill up fast - especially during peak fishing times. So don't wait too long to reserve your date. Whether you're looking to land your personal best, learn some new fishing techniques, or just enjoy a relaxing morning on the water, we've got you covered. Give us a call or book online, and get ready for a fishing experience you won't soon forget. Trust me, the only thing you'll regret is not doing it sooner. See you on the water!

Blue catfish are the heavyweights of Texas freshwater fishing. These big boys can top 100 pounds, though 20-40 pounders are more common catches. You'll find them lurking in deep holes and channels of our rivers and lakes. They're opportunistic feeders, so fresh cut bait like shad or herring works great. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they're most active. Anglers love blue cats for their hard-fighting spirit - when you hook a big one, you're in for a real tug-of-war. Their firm, white meat is also delicious eating. Here's a local tip: try fishing near underwater structure like sunken trees or drop-offs, especially where there's good current. Let your bait sit on the bottom and be patient - when a blue cat bites, you'll know it.
Crappie are fun, tasty panfish that school up in our lakes and rivers. Most run 8-12 inches long, perfect for the frying pan. Look for them around submerged brush, fallen trees, and dock pilings in 5-15 feet of water. Spring is prime time when they move shallow to spawn, but you can catch them year-round. Early mornings and evenings are best. Crappie are a blast on light tackle - their strike is subtle, but they put up a nice little scrap. Locals love 'em for their sweet, flaky white meat. Minnows under a bobber are hard to beat, but small jigs work great too. Here's a trick: if you find one crappie, there's usually more nearby. Once you get a bite, work that same spot thoroughly.
Striped bass are hard-fighting fish that'll really test your gear. Most run 5-20 pounds here, but 30-40 pounders aren't unheard of. They roam our lakes chasing schools of shad, so look for surface feeding activity. Dawn and dusk are prime times, especially in summer when they seek cooler water. Stripers hit topwater lures with explosive strikes, and their powerful runs will have your drag singing. Fall through spring offers the best action. Anglers prize them for both the thrill of the catch and their firm, mild-tasting meat. Live bait like shad works well, but trolling with deep-diving crankbaits is effective too. Pro tip: when you find stripers feeding on the surface, cast beyond the school and retrieve through it for best results.
