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.

Dennis Kile5.0VerifiedBest trip no matter the weather
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 12, 2026 • 2 adultsIt 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.
Richard CrealRepeat angler5.0Verified6 hours with Derek
Special 6 hour trip for Richard Creal on April 12, 2023 • 2 adultsHad 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.
FishingBooker Member5.0Fishing trip in March
5-hour Weekday Trip on March 29, 2023I 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!!!!
Mark Heath5.0VerifiedHighly recommended!

Will Knight5.0D is the man!!!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 6, 2023Took 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!!!

Dennis, the pleasure is mine to have you on board. Thank you for coming along. It was great to meet you and I’m happy that I could share some memories with you. Keep Catch512 in mind for your next rendezvous to Austin.

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. 🎣
