Looking for a true Central Texas bass fishing experience? You’ve come to the right place. Bassquatch Fishing is owned and operated by full-time guide Captain Ander Meine, who helps anglers of all ages and skill levels make the most of their time on the water. Whether your goal is to chase trophy bass, learn new techniques, explore local lakes, introduce a kid to fishing, or simply enjoy a fun day outdoors—you’ll get a trip tailored to your needs.
You’ll fish from a fully rigged Nitro Z18 bass boat powered by a 150 HP Mercury outboard, equipped with top-quality rods, reels, and tackle. Capt. Ander will match the gear and approach to your goals—whether that means refining your skills with finesse presentations, learning seasonal patterns, or just keeping rods bent all day long.
Bassquatch Fishing runs trips on many of the Austin-area’s best bass lakes, including Lake Austin, Travis, Buchanan, Stillhouse Hollow, Belton, and more. The main targets are Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Spotted Bass—hard-fighting fish that make every outing exciting.
All fishing equipment and bottled water are provided. You’re welcome to bring your own rods if you prefer, but most clients enjoy trying Capt. Ander’s setups designed for local conditions. Catch and release is encouraged, though you may keep fish within state regulations (please plan ahead for cleaning and transporting your catch, as those services are not provided).
Whether you’re after a bucket-list trophy or just want to enjoy a day on the water, Bassquatch Fishing is ready to deliver a safe, professional, and memorable trip. Book today and find out why so many anglers return year after year to fish with Capt. Ander in Central Texas.

Ander is super friendly and knows the lake like the back of his hand. He set me up with everything, was super patient, and showed me all the secret spots. He even figured out right away what lures the fish wanted that day, so I was getting bites non-stop. Honestly such a fun experience — I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a great bass trip in Austin, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced.

Ander put us on fish shortly after getting to the first spot. He did an excellent job keeping us on fish throughout the day. I highly recommend him.

In the middle of a heat wave. I fish a lot and Ander pretty much blew my mind with how we found Em and got on Em and stayed on em. We caught 70 fish conservatively in a 4 hour period of time. Highly recommended.
