The most important thing to know about me is that I simply love fishing (always have and always will), I believe I was born to fish. My goal is for all my customers to have an enjoyable relaxing trip (letting me take care of all the work) and you just have a GREAT day catching fish.

What to Bring and Wear on Your Fishing Trip

Texas Fishing License

Required for all persons over the age of 16 years old. If you don’t currently have a license, Walmart is a good source, and pretty much all sporting goods suppliers. The cost for a one day Texas Resident is $ 11. The cost for a one-day Non-Texas Resident is $16. Cost for a full year (good Sept thru Aug) Texas Resident Freshwater is $30. The cost for a full year Non-Texas Resident Freshwater is $58. Also, you can call Texas Parks and Wildlife to obtain your license at 800-895-4248 (Mon-Fri 9:00am-6pm) or order online at www.tpwd.texas.gov

Drinks, Snacks, and Ice Chest

Bring whatever food, drinks, or snacks you would like to have during your fishing trip. Also, bring your personal cooler to place in the boat for your drinks and snacks. You will also need your cooler or an additional cooler to carry your cleaned fish home in.

Life Jackets for Children under 13

Texas Law requires; All Children under the age of 13 must wear a life jacket while the boat is moving. Texas Guide Fishing Service has all the required Life Jackets onboard we will need including for the kids. But if you already have life jackets for the kids that fit just perfectly, bring them.

Seasonal Requirements

Always put on your Sunscreen, (you know that). I’ll have some if you forget.

For Summer, Early Fall, and Late Spring Fishing Trips – Dress to stay cool. Wear a Hat, and protect yourself from the Sun.

For Fall, Winter, and early Spring Fishing Trips – Dress for it to be colder than you think it might be, it’s always colder on the water (you can always take off coats, wind shirts, etc…, but you can’t put them on if you don’t have them). Dress in layers and for the outer layer, something that breaks the wind.

Rain Gear

Texas Guide Fishing has some Rain Gear if we should get caught in a shower, but if the forecast happens to call for a chance of rain, please bring your own rain gear (you will probably like yours better).

Bring your camera

I’ll have a digital camera and will take photos of your catch and Email them to you. But if you’re a photo buff, bring your camera. You will get some great shots.

 

What you should Expect

Expect to catch a lot of fish – I expect you to catch a lot of fish, otherwise, we would not be going fishing. I spend a lot of time looking and keeping on top of the fish so that when I take you (the customer) out you can catch fish and not spend a lot of your time looking for fish or just simply trying to catch fish. We want to catch fish (and lots of them). If at the time of your booking the fishing happens to be off, I’ll tell you that also. I will always be truthful with you. Rescheduling your trip is an option.

bass Fishing Austin TX

Spring & Summer Fishing in Texas

During March through May, all fish bite well. Expect lots of Hybrids and White Bass first and foremost in Texas. Also during this time, it’s eating size Blue Cats at its best – there is no better time for the eating size Blues than Mid March through Mid May. Starting in Mid April we also start fishing the Crappies, Aquilla, and Navarro Mills.

During June through November, the Hybrid/Stripers and White Bass and Crappie are good to GREAT. The last few summers have been very, very good in Texas. Also, the Blue Cats are very good again starting September through February.

Winter Fishing in Texas

During December through February, the White Bass and Hybrids can be very, very good in Texas. October and November provide some good Top Water Action on Texas, while December through February we Slab the Striper/Hybrids up from the deeper water, sometimes two at a time. Those Hybrids are fun to catch! And the Blue Cats can be great during this same time.

The December through February time frame is when we do the Trophy Blue Cat Fishing (Big, Big Blue Cats), you have to try that, they will wear you OUT!

Expect to be treated very well by a professional – My goal is for all my customers to have an enjoyable relaxing trip (letting me take care of all the work) and you just have a GREAT day catching fish.

Expect to really enjoy your fishing trip – And plan another trip as soon as you can.
