Wayne Eppler – Texas Aggie Guide Services 

4.8/5 (5 reviews)
 451 11169, Navasota, TX 77868, United States

Excited to catch some fish in Lake Somerville? Look no further than Texas Aggie Guide Services! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Wayne can tell you all about them!

Captain Wayne specializes in catching delicious Crappie, and White Bass, using light tackle, trolling, or maybe something more specialized in this area. You’re welcome to bring home some of the fish you catch, assuming they meet regulations. Capt. Wayne can even clean your catch for you. Bring a cooler ready in the car!

Children are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. A few items you’ll want to bring include sunglasses, snacks, drinks, and sunscreen (non-spray). Before coming aboard, you may be required to buy a local fishing license. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Your fishing machine for the day is a 22’ Center console that can carry up to 5 passengers. Capt. Wayne will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself. There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips, and it’s customary to offer them a 20% gratuity.

Texas Aggie Guide Services will make it easy for you to go fishing in Quarry. So, how about booking that trip?

Recently moved to the area and wanted to view Lake Somerville. Also had family in town. Booked Captain Wayne and discussed what we wanted to do and fish for. Caught hybrid, bass, white bass, blue cat & crappie. Captain Wayne is very knowledgeable about the lake and where the spots are. We really like him!

Mrs. Tammy had a great time guiding you Mr. Paul and your family. The lake is up another foot since we fished and is back to a normal level. fish are starting to stabilize and return to their normal patterns. Crank that boat of yalls up and meet me out on the lake or just come go with me again anytime.

I couldn't have picked a better guide if I'd had months to vet him. Super nice, well equipped and perfectly suited to my grandsons and me. He's a keeper!!!

Toby thanks for choosing my service to fish with while you were in town. Lake has caught about 2 feet of runoff from the recent rains and is now listed at a normal level. All that runoff has spread the fish out but they are starting to return to their normal patterns. Thanks again for booking with Texas Aggie Guide Services.
