Reel Texas Fishing Tours

Reel Texas Fishing Tours is ready to take you on a great fishing experience.  With Captain Randy at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
We will be targeting largemouth bass.  There are times when the white bass fishing is really good and we may take advantage from time to time.

Your boat for the day is a 21' Skeeter bass boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials.  Kistler custom rods and RPM custom rods. Diawa and Shimano reels.  Bait cast and spinning reel set ups.  All top notch equipment.

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. Don't leave home without sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Bottled water is included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Reel Texas Fishing Tours will make it easy for you to go fishing.  Lakes you can choose from to fish are Lake Travis, Lake Austin, Lake LBJ and Lake Buchanan. I can meet you at any of these lakes and take you out for a great time on the water.  I have tons of knowledge on them all.
