Burnet has a fish with your name on it, so let Reel Texas Fishing Tours help you catch it!

Depending on conditions, you might hook into White Bass, Striped Bass, Catfish, and who knows what else! You'll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Capt. Randy operates a 24' Blazer center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods and reels are covered by the charter. Be sure to ask about bait and lures as well.

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.

Don't leave home without sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. 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.

Reel Texas Fishing Tours will make it easy for you to go fishing in Burnet. So, how about booking that trip?

    Reel Great Time w/ Captain Fesler

    6 Hour– Striper & Hybrid Trip on May 10, 2026 • 3 adults

    It was our first time doing an inland charter on a Tx lake. Most of our adventures have been at the coast with only shore fishing at local lakes/ponds. We had a fabulous time - my wife & I and our 15 yr old son who loves to fish. Landed large stripper, hybrids, catfish and a few smaller white bass. It really kept us busy in a good way! What a great way to spend Mother's Day. Looks like we found what to do on Father's Day. :*)

    Caught fish early. Then stopped. He knew where to go right away. That's why its called fishing and not catching.

    We had a fantastic time with Randy on Lake Buchanan! My son has had his eye on striped bass and we ticked it off his wish list with this trip. We also caught hybrid and white bass catfish and a great size crappie. Randy is patient and kind and an excellent guide. We enjoyed our time!!

    This time of year the Striper and Hybrid fishing is hit or miss. One day its great and the next its tough to get on a good bite. We generally catch a mix of Striper/Hybrid Striper/White Bass and catfish.
