Off The Hook Fishing Trips

Come join Off the Hook Fishing Trips for a fun day out on the Calaveras or Braunig Lake and be sure to get hooked instantly! As a local San Antonian and experienced guide, Captain Bryan Cantu knows and understands these waters like the back of his hand.

His Carolina Skiff is a 21’ center console, powered by twin 150 HP Johnson engines. It can hold up to 3 guests and everyone can have their rods in the water and fish at the same time. The boat is equipped with a GPS, fishfinder, radar, VHF radio, and safety gear.

Captain Bryan provides all the necessary fishing gear and tackle, including top-quality Penn rods and reels. All live bait will be caught from the lake and is included in the price. Be prepared to reel in some beautiful lake fish, such as Blue Catfish and Striped Bass. You’ll even have the chance to target some amazing Redfish! Once you are all set up, you’ll mainly be using light tackle while trolling or bottom fishing. The captain will also clean and fillet your catch for you, free of charge, so that you can just throw it right on the grill once you get home!

If you are looking for a fun day out on the lake, you can guarantee that Off the Hook Fishing Trips won’t leaving you hanging. The only thing you have to do is get a fishing license, bring a cooler filled with your favorite snacks and drinks, a pair of sunglasses, and a camera to make the moments last even longer!
