Trip Summary

I apologize for not being on top of my reports! I post them regularly to my website, but sometimes forget to post them here as well. Anyways... Today was a great trip on Lake Travis! A client of mine recently purchased a brand new Legend V20... talk about a sweet boat! He had it rigged with dual Humminbird Helix 12's and wanted to learn how to use them more effectively. Too change things up we took his boat and I ran it for him. The focus of the trip was to learn some new spots on Travis, understand how to approach them, and to learn to fish offshore. One of my specialities is fishing deep offshore and I love being able to teach others how to be better at it. We caught quite a few fish, but the highlight of the trip was when I pulled up to a deep secondary point near a creek channel... textbook pattern! His MEGA imaging showed the school sitting on the edge of the point clear as day. I showed my client how I like to position the boat, what baits I typically chose, and how to work them. I started off with a Carolina Rig, and on the first cast before I could finish showing him how I work the bait... BAM fish on! We proceeded to catch several off this spot on c rigs, 6XD's and a dropshot. It was a very productive and educational trip. If you have a new fish finder and want to dial it in and learn how to locate and catch fish, give me a call! I am booked up until Sunday, but next week I have some availability. Tight lines!

The bite is HOT right now!

I've got a serious case of bass thumb right now! We've been tearing them up the past several weeks. This last week my half day trips have been averaging 20-40 fish! I had one trip catch 46 fish, and that's only the fish that hit the net, not the ones we hooked and lost... unlike some guides I don't fish very much when I guide and I certainly don't count any fish I catch towards the fish catch numbers I advertise. My focus when guiding is teaching you and doing everything to make sure you not only catch fish but have fun. As of the past week water temps are in the 64-66 degree range. There are fish on beds, but targeting those pre-spawn fish has been the most productive. The shad are also spawning, and you can catch a ton of fish targeting those wind blown banks. Jerkbaits, swimbaits, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits are all working well right now. There are quite a few ways you can catch them right now. If you book a trip in the next week or two you can count on a lot of action and a lot of hooksets! I can also promise that you will be fishing with higher end equipment and from a nicer/newer boat than any other guide listed on FishingBooker in Austin, TX!

The fishing couldn't be better! Every year I look forward to March and April. Current water temps are in the low 60's and the weather has been warm. This combination has the fish up shallow feeding before the spawn. There are fish on beds right now, but the best bite has been targeting pre-spawn fish. If you book a trip right now you can expect a variety of techniques. Small swimbaits and crankbaits have been very productive. Soft plastics such as drop shots, Texas rigs, and carolina rigs have also been catching a lot of fish. I would expect the topwater bite to be turning on very soon. Once the water temps get into the mid 60's is when I tie on a lot of topwater plugs. My most recent trip caught 24 bass, the day prior had 33... those were on half day trips with beginner anglers. We probably had half as many fish jump and spit the bait too! There is no better time than right now to be on the water!

Spring is Almost Here!
Spring is Almost Here!
February 15, 2024
As of about a week ago the bass have started making a transition and are post-spawn. This means that due to the warmer weather and us getting closer to Spring here in Central Texas, the bass are moving up more shallow. They'll pull out of their deep wintertime spots or out of the creek channels where they've been suspending and move to the bank. It'll be a few more weeks before the spawn is in full swing, but it's not far off. With the warmer weather the bite has been getting better and better. I was out a few days ago and ended with 31 fish. Small swimbaits, crankbaits, jerkbaits, and the drop shot have all been producing fish. If you book a trip there is a variety of patterns working that we can catch them on. I know everyone's favorite technique is topwater fishing. That will start to turn on here pretty soon. I would recommend booking now and picking a date anytime in March, April or May. Those months consistently produce good numbers, great size, and consistent topwater action, even mid day. Book your trip and let's get out on the water!
