James Roberts Fishing
James Roberts Fishing welcomes you to Austin and invites you to exciting and fun lake trips in Central, South, and East Texas. Join Captain James Roberts in exploring Texan lakes and enjoy their fascinating nature.
You'll be fishing on a 20' Bass Cat bass boat powered by a 250 HP Mercury engine. It can take up to 3 guests and is equipped with GPS, fishfinder, and radar systems, as well as livewell.
Captain James uses both light and heavy tackle and he specializes in various techniques such as bottom fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, and drift fishing. Some of the beautiful fish you'll target include Largemouth, Smallmouth and White Bass, Sunfish, and Crappie. You're allowed to keep all the fish you catch. However, when it comes to Largemouth Bass, the captain would be grateful if you released it back to the water. Kids are welcome to join the trip, so you can bring your whole family and spend a wonderful time together in nature.
All rods, reels, terminal tackle, and lures are included in the price. Live bait comes with an extra charge, and so does the cleaning and filleting of your catch. There will be water waiting for you on board, so you should only pack some food and your licenses.

lost track of how many bass we landed - great fishing trip with me and the 13 year old - james was awesome!
Thank you Erik for the wonderful review, it was certainly my pleasure having you and Dylan out, and I look forward to our next trip!
Had a great time with James on his bass fishing trip! The boat was top-notch, providing a comfortable and smooth experience on the water. James shared some excellent advice that really helped us make the most of our time. We tried out a variety of baits, and it paid off—we caught some nice fish! Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to enjoy a day of fishing with a knowledgeable guide.
Thank you Dmitriy, had a great time having y'all out this morning, and look for ward to another trip in the future!
My son and I told James we wanted to catch fish and dud not care what kind. He took us to several spots and changed up baits and we caught fish. We had a great time.
We had a great morning with Captain James. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He helped us adjust our technique and improve…. and he put us on the fish!
