Fishing in Etoile

Nestled in the scenic Piney Woods region of East Texas, Etoile serves as a premier gateway to world-class freshwater fishing on legendary Lake Sam Rayburn. As the largest reservoir entirely within Texas, Sam Rayburn spans 114,500 acres and is celebrated for its exceptional largemouth bass fishery, consistently yielding trophy-sized catches that attract anglers nationwide. Beyond bass, these fertile waters teem with crappie, catfish, striped bass, and white bass, offering year-round opportunities for diverse angling experiences.

Etoile fishing charters provide expert-guided access to prime locations across the lake’s abundant submerged structures, creek channels, and vegetation beds. Local guides leverage decades of experience to help anglers target seasonal patterns—whether flipping jigs for bass in lily pads, vertical jigging for spring crappie, or drifting live bait for hard-fighting catfish. Shirley Creek Marina and other nearby launch points offer convenient access to these productive fishing grounds, framed by the serene beauty of East Texas’s forests and tranquil coves.

Ideal for both novice and experienced anglers, Etoile’s charter experiences focus on tailored adventures that maximize time on the water. Guides share specialized techniques for navigating the lake’s dynamic ecosystem while emphasizing conservation and sustainable practices. With reliable catches, picturesque surroundings, and professional guidance, Etoile solidifies its reputation as a must-visit destination for unforgettable Texas fishing.

Scott worked with me to get the trip in. He was willing to delay the start of the charter until later in the day due to weather. Other captains could have just cancelled altogether. Scott also put me on active feeding fish that allowed me to fish in a way I am most familiar with and lures I had the most confidence in. To me that the best part.

It was a rather difficult situation to fish as we had two days of heavy rain. Captain Scott worked extremely hard to not just put us on fishe but to put is on BITING fish. His dedication to making it an awesome trip was rewarded well. We are already planning a saltwater trip.

My son and I spent the day on Lake Sam Rayburn with Capt. Scott Pearce chasing bass and catfish. When the bass were slow we hit about 30+ catfish. Wonderful guide and appreciated the time he spent making it a great experience. We plan to be back!

Myself and my 3 boys have been on many guided fishing trips. We take a trip every year in Aug after their baseball season. Capt Scott's Skeeter boat and fishing gear is top notch! We caught an absolute "TON" of catfish and crappie. I couldn't be more happy with how the trip went. If you want to catch a ton of fish, then book your trip with Capt Scott!!! Thanks for everything Capt Scott, we'll be back next year!!!

8 hr trip with Captin Scott. Very patient with 2 beginners and took plenty of time to talk about technique and fishing tips. We caught some nice fish to fry up and most important he understood the charter was more about the quality time than just another fishing trip. We will book again!!

Captain Scott is a top notch guide. We caught lots of bass. And I have a new friend. If you are wanting a trip you won’t be disappointed. Very friendly, nice boat. I originally wanted a crappie trip but Scott told me that the crappie just wasn’t hitting that good and offered the bass trip instead of just taking my money and letting me be disappointed with the crappie fishing. Caught a lot of good bass.

Even though it was cold we could not have asked for a better fishing experience. The boat and equipment were very nice and extremely well maintained. You could tell that Captain Scott not only loves fishing he genuinely enjoys sharing his fishing knowledge and techniques with others.
