Come to a trip with Big Dawg Outfitters and discover new horizons of Texas fishing! Your captain and guide for the day, Scott Pierce, has been fishing for the most of his life and he knows the lakes and rivers in the Onalaska area like the back of his hand.

Join him for an angling expedition that you'll remember in the years to come and explore the abundance and beauty of the inshore waters. Your fishing platform for the day is a 24Ft Blazer Bay whose name is pretty much explanatory of a great time you'll have. The boat can accommodate up to 6 people, which means you can come with a group of your best angling pals or your whole family.

The vessel is powered by a 300 HP Mercury engine that makes her stable and efficient in rivers, lakes, as well as flats, and brackish waters. Whatever you catch, you get to keep, and you'll have the top range Duckett fishing gear at your disposal. In case you're chasing fish in shallow waters, wireless trolling motor comes to the rescue to make you super stealthy.

There's an array of trips to choose from, and it's up to you to pick the duration of the expedition and the species you will target. Capt. Scott is known for his specialized trips for Crappie, White and Largemouth Bass, and Catfish.

However, inshore A-listers like Redfish, Speckled Seatrout, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, and many more are also on the menu. Not only will you have an awesome time bringing those bad boys overboard, but you will also have a royal meal when you come back home because you can get your catch cleaned for an additional charge.

So, what do you need on the trip with you? Great company, drinks, snacks, appropriate clothing, and your fishing license are the most important things to remember. Please note that boots are not allowed on the boat. Feel free to come with your children, as long as they're 3 and older, Capt. Scott will make sure they have an amazing time as well!

Depending on the location, an additional fuel charge may be added.

    Scott is the best.

    4 Hour Trip – White Bass (PM) on February 15, 2026 • 3 adults

    We booked for a different lake and a different fish, but Scott suggested another place that we would be more successful so we agreed. We caught some nice big mouth bass and it was like fishing with a buddy you’ve known for years. Can’t recommend him enough.

    Lots and Lots of Catfish!

    5 Hour Trip – White Bass (AM) on March 29, 2025 • 4 adults

    We had a good time catching a bunch of Catfish with Captain Scott. Since we had young children we did noodling which is perfect if you want to haul a huge amount of fish. We ended up with 55 catfish. If you are more of a rod and reel person then it won't be forever you however so just make sure to confirm with Captain Scott before you go. I hope to return for a rod and reel trip sometime soon. Highly recommend this charter. Thanks Captain Scott. We will treasure the family photo you took of us.

    No fish but a great experience

    5 Hour Trip – White Bass (AM) on October 18, 2025 • 4 adults

    It was a tough day of fishing where we saw many boats fishing and nobody catching anything. Were after white and hybrid bass but they were just off the bite. Captain Jordan tried his best and I am sure any other day we would have caught fish. We learned a lot of different ways to fish for them and hit a lot of different places. He was knowledgeable and made the trip worth it. We will be booking with him again! Mike

    Want your limit?

    5 Hour Trip -– Catfish (AM) on July 5, 2024 • 4 adults

    So John was on time, acomidating and friendly. 2nd stop of the day we caught two of our per person limits for white bass. We were then able to relax and just play with some new fishing techniques and new fishing holes. Great trip no complaints and we are already planning the next trip. You cant go wrong with this charter.

    Great fishing trip experience

    5 Hour Trip – White Bass (AM) on May 13, 2022 • 3 adults

    First time booking a fishing trip. I wanted to take dad and my brother for a good time at Lake Livingston. Instead we got an exceptional fishing experience that we won't forget any time soon. Fist of all, Scott called me 5 mins after booking and shared all pertinent detals. We met Scott and his boat at the break of dawn, and he was earlier than scheduled, already waiting for us on his boat and ready to go. He was very professional, polite, and best of all, he treated us like friends. His vast fishing experience was evident, as he knew exactly were to go to get the best bites. He even practiced his Spanish with my family. After a few hours and lots of fish in the cooler, we headed back to land, where he introduced us to a kind lady who cleaned all fish for us (for a modest price). At the end, Scott invited us to join him for lunch, which we did, and he happily shared his fishing stories and lots of pictures. I could not thank Scott enough for this experience. I will definitely call him in the future to do this again! 12/10 I would recommend!

Hi, I'm Capt. Scott Pierce. For over 30 years, fishing has been more than a hobby for me, it's been a way of life. That lifelong passion led me to become a professional fishing guide, giving me the incredible opportunity to share the thrill of the catch with fellow anglers, friends, families, and newcomers alike. I specialize in chasing some of the most exciting reef species, Snapper, Tuna, and Amberjack, and there's nothing more rewarding than helping others reel in the fish of a lifetime. Whether you're a seasoned fisherman or just getting started, I'm here to make sure your trip is fun, safe, and unforgettable. I've been blessed with an amazing family, married for 24 years with three wonderful kids, and we all share a deep love for the outdoors, hunting, and fishing. Faith and family are at the heart of everything I do, and I consider it a true gift to be able to use my knowledge and experience to serve others on the water.
