Come chase some bass, enjoy the water, and have a great day doing it.

I offer a fun, relaxed, no-pressure bass fishing experience on Lake Travis or Lake Austin. Whether you’re brand new to fishing or been chasing bass for years, you’ll feel right at home.

We’ll target largemouth, spotted and guadalupe bass using proven seasonal patterns, quality gear, and modern electronics including forward-facing sonar and side imaging. Want to learn? I’ll show you how to find fish, choose the right baits, and understand what the fish are doing. Want to unplug, make some casts, and enjoy the day? That’s perfectly fine too.

You’ll fish from a clean, fully equipped bass boat with a laid-back atmosphere and one goal: catch fish, have fun, and make some great memories.

Along the way, we’ll slow down and enjoy God’s creation, the outdoors, and the simple fun of being on the water.

No pressure. No egos. Just good fishing and a great day on the lake.

Grab a buddy, bring the family, and let’s go fishing

Half day trip with captain Daniel
Half Day Trip (PM) SUMMER SPECIAL on August 6, 2026

The fishing trip was top tier! The Captain provided everything from safety jackets to fishing poles of your desire and style. I consider myself a decent fisherman but you can tell Daniel is a professional. I did not expect the bite to be as good since it was peak summertime in Texas. It was three of us and we reeled in over 20 decent size bass! Majority over 3lbs and some close to 4lbs. This is hands down the best fresh water fishing experience I’ve had in the Austin area. Definitely booking again! Thank you for a great fishing experience Daniel!

Reported catch:
Largemouth Bass
Smallmouth Bass
Spotted Bass

I have been fishing with Daniel for years. He is an amazing person and a blast to fish with.He is not only fun, but brings years of professional bass fishing knowledge to the boat. If you are a beginner looking to get into fishing or a seasoned veteran looking to pick somebody's brain for that little extra knowledge, Daniel is your guy. Here is a link to the video we made from this trip https://youtu.be/KX1WChjoops?si=GzVHB5dNWcsDX_o_

Daniel is great! Knows his stuff! Very patient! He shares his knowledge so that you can become better at fishing in general. Taught my son how to skip cast! Works hard to get you on fish! Tries all sorts of baits and techniques! Thanks, Captain, Daniel - Dave & Ledger
