Welcome to Bass Camp
Set among the rolling oak savannahs of Fayette County, Redemptional Fishing & Outdoors isn't a standard fishing charter—it’s an elite outdoor academy. Lake Fayette’s legendary status as a heavyweight power-plant reservoir makes it the ultimate classroom for mastering big-bass tactics.

Whether you're a dad wanting to unplug and teach your kids the fundamentals, a boat owner tired of guessing, or a competitive angler seeking advanced tournament skills, Capt. Matthew Hathaway provides a structured, tier-based education. We don’t just take you for a boat ride; we teach you how to hunt.

The Curriculum
Choose the level of instruction you need:

The Basics: Low-pressure, hands-on instruction covering casting and lure presentation. Perfect for families getting kids off screens and onto their first real lunker.

Intermediate Tech: For anglers wanting to know the "why." Master seasonal power-plant transitions, pattern building, and electronics to eliminate dead water.

VIP Tournament Prep: For serious competitors. Elite multi-day packages featuring simulated tournaments, drone/camera media production, and premium BBQ debriefs.

Vessel & Gear
Step aboard a 19’ Lund Bass boat rigorously rigged as a tactical training vessel. Outfitted with top-tier electronics and a silent trolling motor. Premium rods and tournament-grade tackle are provided (you are also welcome to bring your own gear so we can dial in your personal setups).

The Fishery
We exclusively hunt Largemouth Bass. We operate a strict 100% Catch & Release policy for bass to preserve Fayette’s status as a premier heavyweight fishery.

Make it a Weekend
Fayette County Lake features the excellent Oak Thicket and Park Prairie LCRA parks, offering lakeside cabins and campsites. Book a cabin, book your class with us, and turn your trip into an unplugged outfitter retreat.

Grab your fishing license, step aboard, and let’s elevate your game!
