South Texas Elite Outfitters

Enjoy a day of fishing on Falcon Lake with South Texas Elite Outfitters! Captain Arnold LaCount has been fishing these waters for over 30 years, and he knows all the best spots and honey holes. He’ll take you and your family on a trip you won’t forget, and you’ll go back home with some great catches and a smile on your face.

You’ll be fishing aboard his 25’ Kenner center console boat, powered by a 200 HP Mercury engine. It’s equipped with all the navigational electronics and a live bait tank to help you reel in some prized fish. The boat accommodates up to 8 people, so it’s perfect for a day out on the water with your friends and family.

Lake Falcon is a beautiful, fish-rich lake that will surely leave you breathless. You’ll be cruising the waters, feeling the wind in your hair, and reeling in some real trophies. There’s a variety of fish species that live here, and you’ll be targeting Largemouth Bass, White Bass, Gar, Catfish, and Crappie, all while enjoying stunning views.

All Capt. Arnold will provide you with all the equipment needed to get those monsters on board, including rods, reels, and tackle. He can provide you with live bait as well. Your catch will be cleaned and filleted at the end of the trip for a fee, so you can take it back home for a mouth-watering dinner with the family.

Feel free to bring your kids along for an adventure they’ll surely remember, as children of all ages are welcome. Feel free to bring snacks and food to stay refreshed for the day. Remember to buy a fishing license before coming aboard, which you can do online.
