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.

Had an awesome fishing trip with my wife, The weather was perfect, the fish were biting. Caught over ten good ones. The scenery was peaceful and made for a relaxing day. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and reel in some good catches. Aaron was great, helpful, and knowledgeable. Great for any skill level. Would definitely go again if I got the chance.

We really enjoyed our experience with Captain Aaron! He was very good at teaching our young sons how to cast and fish certain baits. He even knew some great spots for some fun and relaxing bobber fishing! We would definitely hire him again for another fun time!

One morning of fishing with Aaron made us know the value of taking the time to do something new and different. He is accommodating and explained the basics of casting, reeling and catching fish. We were very successful at our first attempt to fish and can’t wait to go again.
