Looking for an exciting angling adventure? Maybe you just want a couple of hours of relaxation with a rod in your hands? Whatever your wish, Big Dawg Outfitters is the answer! Captain Scott Pierce will put you on top of the hottest bite in the area around Etoile.

Join Capt. Scott on board his 22’ Excell. She’s a center console and can comfortably carry 6 anglers plus the crew. The design allows all anglers to fish at the same time, without knocking gear over. There’s a wireless trolling motor on board to help you sneak up on even the spookiest of fish.

Whether you’re a total novice or a seasoned angler, Capt. Scott will customize the trip according to your skill level. You’re free to bring your own gear if you prefer but the captain will provide you with everything you need.

Capt. Scott will take you after a wide range of freshwater species around Etoile, mostly on Lake Sam Rayburn. You can hit up Catfish, Crappie, White Bass, Largemouth Bass, and whatever else takes the bait.

If you’re a fan of the salt, you can hit the coastal waters on a full day trip. You’ll go after the most popular targets of Texas saltwater fishing like Redfish, Black Drum, Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, Sheepshead, and others.

Make sure to pack a cooler in the trunk, the crew will clean and fillet your catch free of charge. Please note that boots are not allowed on the boat.

Book a trip with Big Dawg Outfitters today and take the first step towards your new favorite fishing destination!
