The moment we realized we could give someone the opportunity to step onto the water—and feel that first tug at the end of the line—it became bigger than fishing. It became our mission.

What started through time spent at angler events for underprivileged kids and individuals without access to a boat quickly turned into something deeper. We saw the impact firsthand—the excitement, the confidence, the escape. For many, it was more than just catching a fish; it was their first real connection to the outdoors.

That's what drives Catch512 and DeeZ Memories today.

Our licensed guides bring real, on-the-water expertise to every trip. This isn't a 'ride around the lake'—this is a hands-on, immersive fishing experience. We focus on teaching, sharing knowledge, and making sure every guest walks away better than when they stepped on the boat. Whether it's learning how to work a lure, understanding structure, or dialing in techniques used in tournament-style fishing, we meet you where you are and level you up.

And yeah—we make sure you have a damn good time doing it.

Every trip is built to create DeeZ Memories that last a lifetime. From that first hookset to the stories told back at the dock, these are the moments people don't forget. Photo opportunities are everywhere, because we know those catches—and those smiles—deserve to be remembered.

We're fully equipped to deliver a professional guide service that exceeds expectations. Our passion for fishing, combined with years of experience and competitive-level knowledge, allows us to work with all anglers—whether you've never held a rod or you've fished tournaments across Texas.

No egos. No pressure. Just real fishing, real learning, and real memories.

From novice to experienced—everyone is welcome.

Best trip no matter the weather
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 12, 20262 adults

It was a great time with Derek. Weather was bad early so it was opposed to fighting it delayed the trip but still got my full guide tour yet we caught fish very conversational. Had a good look at many areas around Lake Travis timely and courteous couldn’t have asked for a better time.

Lucas, thank you for trusting Catch512 with your birthday celebration. Captain Rich and I put in the work, hitting two lakes and testing the waters to make sure your trip was dialed in and ready to roll. I’m glad you and your guests had a great experience and made some solid memories on the water. That’s what it’s all about. Happy Birthday from Catch512 — and remember… Phones Down, Lines Out. 🎣

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 6, 2023

Took my girl out on a fishing trip with Derek. We didn’t know much about fishing. We arrived at the dock and Derek took us out to the hot spots. Slow at first but Derek quick changed up the lures and relocated us. We couldn’t keep up with the fish. We even extended for another hour and caught 2 large cats. DeeZ the Man!!!

Had a blast with my Son. Derek produced what he said. We caught nice catfish in the early morning and to the trip off with some awesome bass fishing. All nice fish. If you in the area and love bass fishing look up Derek with Deez memories ATX fishing guide. Best time with a guide so far. Thank you Derek. Rebooking next time I’m out.

Fishing trip in March
5-hour Weekday Trip on March 29, 2023

I took my son camping for a father son fishing trip. Not knowing the proper equipment or techniques. A fellow camper suggested I call Deez Memories ATX. Very glad I took the advice. Derek took us out the following day and the smiles my son had on his face was priceless. Highly recommended!!!!

Catch512ATX was built on one core belief—everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the water. What started through participation in angler events for underprivileged children and individuals without access to a boat quickly became something much bigger. We witnessed firsthand the impact of putting someone on the water for the first time—the excitement, the freedom, and that unforgettable moment when they feel the tug at the end of the line. That realization became our mission. Catch512ATX was created to bridge that gap by providing access, education, and a true on-the-water fishing experience. From casual anglers to competitive fishermen, our goal is to deliver more than just a trip—we deliver lasting memories. With licensed guides, tournament-level experience, and a passion for teaching, we cater to all skill levels. Whether it's your first time holding a rod or you're chasing your next personal best, every trip is built around you. At the end of the day, it's simple: Phones Down, Lines Out.
