Texas offers some of the best bass fishing in the USA, and the Hill Country area around Austin provides a beautiful backdrop to any potential angling action. Join Captain Ray Tomasits, also known as the 'Hill Country Bass Coach', for a fun-filled day on the water!

Capt. Ray is a professional fishing guide who has been guiding full time since 2015. You will be fishing on his tournament-ready 21' Skeeter bass boat, which can accommodate up to 4 guests in total. Anglers of all ages and skill levels are welcome aboard and all rods, reels, and tackle are provided for your day on the water. You are welcome to bring your own rods and tackle if you prefer.

Whether you want to catch a lot of fish or go on the hunt for trophy Bass, these local lakes provide it all. Travis, Austin, Ladybird, Walter E. Long, Bastrop, and LBJ are just a few of the lakes that Capt. Ray guides on. Get in touch with Capt. Ray before booking and discuss which lake is fishing best around the time that you'd like to book your trip!

Largemouth Bass are the primary targets for Hill Country Bass Coach Charters. Guadalupe Bass are also abundant and are often caught during charters. This is the state fish of Texas and exists only in Central Texas. If you want to catch Smallmouth Bass, there is a moderate density population in Belton Lake.

Capt. Ray's primary goal is to put you on fish, but he also wants to help you become a better angler. If you're a new angler and want to take your skills to the next level, sign up for Ray's water-based 'Bass School'. Ray's Bass School is custom-tailored to your learning objectives and developmental needs. Topics covered include casting, knot tying, rigging, skipping, and reading electronics (Livescope, Side/Down Scan, and Maps).

    Excellent Sunday Morning Outing

    Half Day Trip (PM) on August 2, 2026 • 3 adults

    We wantes to get a fishing trip end with our son before school starts and this was perfect! Ray is an expert. He was early and everything was ready as soon as we arrived. He took us to some excellent spots. He gave us a review on how to use the rods and reels then we got to it. My son doesn’t usually say much but he was very comfortable asking Ray for feedback and advice on improving. We caught 7 bass fish, enjoyed some time on the beautiful water and made a new friend in Ray. We totally recommend him and we will definitely use his services again! Oh! And the cherry on top… he filleted the fish for us…. total win!!!

    An Amazing Day On the Water!!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 4, 2026 • 2 adults

    Ray was great, he built rapport from the mommet we shook hands, he went above and beyond what I expected from the trip. He educated us on different casting techniques, different angling styles designed to target specific fish behavior and habitats. I booked a second trip before we even left the lake. We made wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend you book Ray as soon as possible.

    Great Morning on Lake Walter Long w/Capt. Ray!

    3/4 Day Trip on June 13, 2024 • 3 adults

    Captain Ray was a great guide - we had poor fishing weather conditions, but Ray knew how to change up the approach and take us to spots in the lake that did produced fish. The bite was never really hot, but we did end up catching about 15 large mouth bass up to ~4lbs. Capt Ray is a very interesting guy and was easy to talk to and taught us more effective techniques to catch more Bass. His tournament experience and knowledge of all of the lakes around Austin area really showed through. I would definitely book him again if I was in this area.

I was born and raised in Arizona and credit my father with my passion for Bass fishing. My father took me fishing every chance we got. The passion I have for fishing today is as strong as it was when my father took me for the very first time. I bought my first bass boat when I was 25 and have fished all over the country. I've learned how to catch fish in just about every type of water body that exists in the US. From Highland Lakes to Lowland Reservoirs to Backwater Sloughs, I've fished it all!
