Spend the day with Bubba J's Guide Service and see what's biting in Canyon Lake!

Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Striped Bass, White Bass, Catfish, Crappie, and more inhabit these waters if conditions are right.

During the trip, you might be spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Young ones are welcome, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your boat for the day is a 22' Majek Xtreme Bay boat with capacity for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as artificial lures for the trip.

Before coming aboard, it may be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation; just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality with Bubba J's Guide Service.

Fishing has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I also enjoy competing in fishing tournaments. I decided to start guiding so I can share my experience with others and help them have a great fishing experience of their own.
