Spend the day with Nelson's Guide Service and let them show you what makes the fishing in Austin so memorable! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Aaron can tell you all about them.

Species like Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Striped Bass, Crappie, and more are in the cards if you cast your line at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to use light tackle.

You'll be fishing aboard a 19' Skeeter bass boat with space for 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures.

Before coming aboard, you will be required 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 might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. Don't forget to bring sunglasses and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to 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 Nelson's Guide Service.

Sussessful Fishing Day with Captain Aaron
4 Hour Trip - 7:00 AM on March 15, 20262 adults1 child
My Grandson and I booked a fishing Trip with Captain Aaron on March 15, 2026. We could not have been any Happier and pleased to have Aaron as our Fishing Guide. he was excellent. he taught us alot..we were at Lake Travis for 4 hrs, and it went by way to fast. we were busy reeling them in and finished the day off catching a 5 pound Large mouth bass. The proof of how well things went is when we got into the pickup and my Grandson told me he wanted to come back and have Aaron as our guide again. we will be back. thanks Aaron. FYI…when I was trying to find a fishing guide for Lake Travis, I did exactly what you are doing, reading reviews. it would have been a disservice for me not to have written a review on our experience. Aaron was truly a great fishing guide.

Awesome Trip!
6 Hour Trip - 7:00 AM on April 21, 20261 adult
Captain Aaron contacted me because the weather was not going to be great. My choice, i told him lets take our chances. We battled rain most of the trip. Regardless of the rain Capt. Aaron put us on the fish. We caught our first fish in less than 10 minutes, and ended up with over 30 fish total! What a great time! Capt. Aaron did not let the weather stand in the way of of a really awesome fishing trip! Damn Good guide does not justify the trip Capt. Aaron gave me. I will definitely being fishing with Capt . Aaron again and I highly recommend you do too!

Great trip for both experienced and beginner fishermen.
4 Hour Trip - 7:00 AM on March 26, 20262 adults
Our captain Aaron was great. Communicated with us prior to the trip on location and timing to maximize our experience. I do not fish much but my 16 year old son does and we both had a great time. Aaron knew a ton of spots to get fish on the line. Between the two of us we caught 15 bass. I highly recommend booking a trip with him.
