Enjoy a fun and relaxing day on the water aboard a fully-equipped tournament Triton 20 TRX bass boat. The vessel was built with comfort in mind and performs well on the water. It comes powered by a four stroke V-8 250 HP Mercury Pro XS engine and is fitted with a Lowrance HDS Live 9" and 12" GPS and fish finders, along with other professional accessories. There is plenty of fishing space for up to 2 anglers on board.

Capt. Frank offers half, full-day, and promotional charter fishing adventures to meet any angler’s specific needs. On your day out, your guide will not only assist you throughout the way but will also provide you with a better understanding of patterns, techniques, and useful information on Largemouth Bass. Capt. Frank is a professional and seasoned tournament pro fisherman. Licensed and bonded.

All trips come with quality rods, reels, tackle, and lures. You will also be provided with snacks and drinks. The license is not included in the price, so you will need to purchase it prior to the trip. Don’t forget to bring your camera with you to take a picture with your catch before you release the fish!

    Bass is getting fat in the chilly waters of the Delta! Treat yourself and your favorite person to a pre-spawn adventure. This species is highly aggressive as it protects it's nest and future trophy bass aggressively. Nothing compares to the aggressive behavior of pre-spawn bass. Limited bookings over the next few months so save the date. We can promise a day of fun, relaxation, and tight lines. Nothing compares to the adrenaline-filled moment of a big one that is hooked!
