Depending on conditions, you might hook into Hybrid Striped Bass, White Bass, Catfish, and plenty more. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites for a boost of energy when needed!

Your day begins aboard a 24’ Blazer Bay center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait may be used as well at certain times of the year.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It’s always wise to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Chums On The Water is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Bret with Chums in the Water was excellent at communicating and giving needed information for meeting place and what to expect. He was good with my three grandsons and put us on fish until the kids were tired of catching fish! They have good equipment and are very knowledgeable. We all had a great time!

Fishing is fun … when you catch fish! We had a lot of fun with Chums On the Water. I’ve been fishing with many guides and Captain Brett is among the best. Brett is knowledgeable, put us on the fish and we left with good memories, plenty of action and several pounds of filets. If you need a guide, don’t hesitate to reach out to Chums On the Water. I’m glad that we did!!

We had an awesome day of fishing. Brett met us early at the dock and got us out to several great fishing areas of the lake. We caught around 40 fish and thoroughly enjoyed our day. Looking forward to coming back later in the year.

Hey John, Now that’s what we call a proper family fishing day! Granddaughter, son-in-law, and a boatload of good times on Lake Tawakoni—can’t beat it. We’re so glad y’all had an awesome time out there. Hope the fish were biting and the laughs were plenty. Let’s do it again soon—next time we’ll try to earn that last star with a secret bait recipe or maybe just extra snacks 😄 Thanks again, The Chums on the Water Crew 🎣
