If you're ready to try fishing in Lago Vista, book a trip with Captain Bass Texas. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Christian is prepared to put you on fish.

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. During the trip you might be spinning, popping, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are also a good idea!

You'll be dropping lines from a 21' Ranger bass boat that can carry up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, you'll need 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.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
