For your next vacation in Texas, you need to book a trip with Bones Fishing Guide Service. Captain Raymond “Bones” Esckilsen will make sure you have an incredible day out with him. With nearly a decade of experience doing fishing trips and a lifetime of fishing locally, Capt. Raymond knows all the best places to take you fishing.
Capt. Raymond is one of few anglers who has been awarded “The Freshwater Elite Angler Award” in the state of Texas. This is an achievement award for catching trophy-sized fish of 5 different species. He’ll use his skills to help you have a great time fishing.
You’ll spend the day on his center console. There is some shade available and plenty of rod holders, perfect for trolling. The wireless trolling motor will give you an extra edge in getting on top of your prey. There is a cooler for the catch on board, but you should bring another small cooler for your own food and drinks.
The day will be spent going after an assortment of Bass species, including White, Striped, Spotted, and Hybrid Striped. You’ll also target Redfish, Crappie, Garfish, and Steelhead.
These trips are great for the whole family. Kids over 4 will enjoy reeling in their first fish. There are life vests on board for them.
Everyone over 17 will need to buy a fishing license for the day. You should also bring plenty of drinks and snacks for the trip. It’s best to wear light layers, bring a sun hat, and wear deck shoes. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen along, too.
Included in the price are top quality rods and reels and live bait when used.
Book a trip with Bones Fishing Guide Service today for an unforgettable time fishing the lakes. Your whole family will love it and want to return time and time again!
NOTE: A fishing trip is 4 hours long unless we catch your limit first, which is 3 fish per person, whether it’s catch and release, or possession.
