    Awesome trip! Water was 90 I had low expectations of catching anything! My son caught a Trophy Guadalupe Bass and we had 12 catches in 4 hours! A great experience and this will be the highlight to be remembered on our vacation!

    Best fishing trip to date

    Full Day Trip on June 12, 2026 • 1 adult

    Captain Randal scouted the best spots to get on some fish. We caught over 15 fish, 4 different species and even in the hottest part of the day we were still catching. Thank you Captain Randal for the experience and great time.

    Great day with the boys!

    Full Day Trip on July 30, 2025 • 3 adults

    Just moved to Texas and my sons were visiting. Needed a guy day and what better way than to spend it on a lake fishing. Met Randal on Lake Travis with his well-equipped, beautiful boat and hit the water. We cleared around 25 fish in just over a few hours. We wanted a full day trip, and Randal obliged and fought the Texas Summer heat with us. Biting slowed, but that didn't discourage us, or Randal in hunting some spots to keep on going. One of the better day trips with my boys. It's not all about fishing, it's more about time together on the Lake. Thank you sir for providing a great time and experience for us.

    SUCH A FUN DAY WITH THE BEST GUIDE!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on April 30, 2024 • 2 adults

    We had great time with our fishing guide Randall and caught so many fish. He was so friendly, and engaged in conversation. The weather was great and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good fishing trip. We felt his prices were fair and reasonable and we felt safe and comfortable. :)

    Perfect morning, Captain Randall awesome

    Half Day Trip (AM) on September 1, 2023 • 3 adults

    Captain Randall was extremely helpful from scheduling to end of trip. We had a wonderful time highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable and helpful teaching how to fish. The trip was scheduled as a gift for our nephew who loves to fish. We are not experienced. Captain Randall had enormous patience and would cast my line for me too. My nephew is experienced and said that he had a great time and would use him if he is back in area.

    Half Day Trip with Captain Randal

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 11, 2022

    Today was non-stop action until Captain Randal said it was time to go. We were catching fishing on top water, using swim baits and drop shot fishing today. We caught 3 species of fish including large mouth bass, crappie, & striper! Captain Randal will put you on top of the fish and teach you the proper technique on how to use the different rods and reels and before you know it you’ll be catching them in no time. It was a 🥵 one today but Captain Randal kept us shaded and hydrated the whole time! Me and my friend had a great time and definitely will be booking in the near future.

    Half day morning trip with Captain Randal

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 4, 2022 • 2 adults

    My friend and I had a wonderful time on the lake with Captain Randal. He was very knowledgeable about the prime locations to fish, different fishing techniques, and the fish species in the lake. We caught about 5 in total, which is better than my running average of about 0 when fishing on my own, so it was a great success! My friend kept the fish for dinner, and I got some nice memories. Captain Randal was very professional and courteous, and he has a great sense of humor. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to get out and catch a fish - but do be cognizant that fishing in Texas is very seasonal and temperature dependent. Captain Randal was very upfront with us about the bite and kept our expectations healthy. 10/10, would go again!

    Half Day Trip on Lake Travis

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 12, 2023 • 2 adults

    My wife and I went out with Captain Randal this week to catch some largemouth. He was awesome to fish with and clearly knows the fishery. Where the fish are holding and how to fish them. It was a beautiful day to be out throwing swim baits and finesse rigs… and of course catching bass. Captain Randal was an entertaining host to spend the day and fish with. Highly recommend fishing with him.

    Half Day with Captain Randal

    Half Day Trip (AM) on August 20, 2023 • 3 adults

    We had a wonderful time with Captain Randal this morning. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Just before our trip, he mentioned he scuba dived in the lake to find some new fishing spots! That’s just one example of his desire to put his clients on fish. We had a great time and would highly recommend him.

Great Experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 8, 2026 • 3 adults

We had a great experience! Even though we didn’t catch many fish, that’s just part of fishing during the summer when the bite can be slow. Randal was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and worked hard to put us on fish. We never felt rushed, and they made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. We learned a lot, enjoyed being out on the water, and would definitely book another trip with them. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun and professional fishing experience!

Full Day Trip W/Captain Randal
Full Day Trip on June 24, 2023 • 1 adult • 1 child

I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing trip with Captain Randal on Lake Travis and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, Captain Randall went above and beyond to ensure that our group had an amazing time out on the water. Firstly, Captain Randal was incredibly knowledgeable about the best fishing spots on the lake and gave us some great tips on how to reel in the biggest catch. He also provided us with top-of-the-line fishing equipment and bait, making it easy for us to hook some impressive fish. But what truly set Captain Randal apart was his fun and friendly personality and ability to make the trip feel like a true adventure. He even brought along some snacks and beverages for us to enjoy while fishing. Overall, I would highly recommend Captain Randal to anyone looking for an amazing fishing experience on Lake Travis. His expertise, equipment, and friendly demeanor made for an unforgettable trip that my son and I will always cherish. 5 stars all around!

After developing a passion for fishing with his family and friends, Captain Randal decided to share his enthusiasm with others and began teaching people how to fish. A licensed captain since 2012, he loves to get out on the water at least a few times a day, and running charters is the perfect excuse. He's just as happy taking out groups of experienced anglers looking for that prized catch as he is teaching kids to fish. With many first, second, and third place prizes in the Texas Tournament Zone and Media Bass competitions over the years, he's just the guy to get you filling the boat with Bass!
