If you’re a passionate freshwater angler, and you’ve never experienced Texas fishing, then it’s high time to make that right! Captain Matthew Hathaway of Redemptional Fishing And Outdoors, with his versatile experience and practices, might just be the guy to show you the riches of Texan fisheries.
Your guide is a Multi-Species fisherman, and he makes it his business to locate the best fishing holes in the Austin area and beyond. He runs his charters on Lake Travis, and Decker lake, where you can find Largemouth, Guadalupe Bass, Striped Bass, White Bass, and Catfish in all shapes and sizes. Before your trip, the captain will see what you prefer to catch and via seasonal patterns, decide what to target.
Whatever your prey of choice is, you’ll need a reliable boat to take you to the best spots, and that’s exactly what captain’s 19’ Lund is. With more than enough room to fit aboard up to 4 anglers, all the necessary equipment, and a cooler, this vessel ticks all the boxes. You’ll follow the fish on the quality fishfinder, and use a trolling motor when it’s time to be extra quiet.
The captain will prepare rods, reels, and a variety of lures for you depending on your target species, but if you have a preferred type of tackle, you’re welcome to bring it with you. Another thing you’ll need is a valid fishing license, and some drinks and food, in case you get hungry while fishing.
Matthew loves having kids on board, so much so, that he has a special trip just for them. If you’re coming with children, they should be at least 4 years old, and life jackets for them will be provided. Capt. Matthew will go out of his way to make your trip comfortable and enjoyable.
Get your fishing groove on with Redemptional Fishing And Outdoors!

Captain Matthew is awesome. He was very patient with my boys, teaching them to catch and cast. Very family friendly tour. 10/10 would recommend.

This was a BLAST!!! Took my two brothers and we had a great time. Great time lots of fun and the boat was sweet! Captain very knowledgeable and taught me a couple things to put in my arsenal for the next time! YES I caught the most fish! I would have done this instead of NASCAR every day! Thanks Captain! Yes with three brothers on the boat it was very competitive and a bit dangerous.

Captain Matthew was truly fantastic. The boat and gear were comprehensive, he knew right where the fish were biting, and we were reeling in dinner in the first hour. Excellent communication, happy to share his knowledge, and patient with me and the teenagers. Excellent and highly recommended for all skill levels, including beginners!

Had a great day with Matthew! He was a great guide and me and my fiancé will DEFINITELY be booking another trip with him and learned so much. We had a pretty slow morning but Matthew taught us so many different techniques and was extremely informative. It really started picking up towards the end and we started pulling out fish after fish. Matthew definitely knows what he’s talking about and knows how to get those fish in the boat!
