Austin Native Fishing Guide

Austin Native Fishing Guide runs angling trips out of Austin and offers to show you what the local fishery is all about.

Capt. Blake aims to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let him know what you’re after! You’ll be light tackle fishing between 4 and 8 hours, while targeting Largemouth and Spotted Bass, depending on the weather and time of year.

The price of your trip includes all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you’ll need for a productive day on the water.

Don’t forget to buy a fishing license before the trip!

Bait isn’t included in the trip price, so make sure to check with the captain what your options are before the trip.

You’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip.
