    The am or pm trip is super fun. The am trip starts at 7.00 am, and the pm trip starts at 1 pm. We fish for four hours, then head back, take some pictures if you like, and then I will fillet your catch. I do just one trip a day, so it's all about you. Just let me know am or pm, and I will have everything ready to go. You need your drinks, snacks, and fishing license. Anyone 16 years and younger, no license needed.

    Depending on the time of the year, I will always recommend fishing for what is biting best! Sand bass and Striper can usually be caught year-round, so depending on what you want to catch we could fish for either. In the warmer months I can switch over to catfish if that's what you would prefer.

Catfish fishing in Texas, United States draws anglers for its size, variety, and year-round action. Texas holds Blue Catfish, Channel Catfish, and Flathead Catfish in big numbers. Many lakes grow trophy Blues, while rivers offer steady action and great scenery.

Most trips use bottom fishing with cut bait, live bait, or prepared “stink” bait. Guides often drift fish across flats to cover water, then anchor when they find a bite. Night fishing is popular in summer when Catfish feed shallower and stay active.

Charter guides provide the boat, tackle, and local know-how. Trips suit families, beginners, and serious anglers chasing a personal best. Wear sun protection, bring snacks and drinks, and pack light layers in cooler months. Expect simple, hands-on fishing and clear tips on how to handle these strong fish.

Texas is a big state with many prime areas. North Texas reservoirs like Lake Texoma and Lake Lewisville are known for Blue Catfish. East Texas lakes such as Sam Rayburn and Toledo Bend hold quality Channel Catfish and Flathead Catfish. Hill Country rivers, including the Colorado and Brazos, are great for relaxed float-style trips. The Trinity River below Dallas is a classic big-fish corridor. Urban lakes around Houston, Austin, and San Antonio also offer easy access.

Before you go, review Texas fishing regulations. Check which fishing license you need, and confirm any permit, season, and harvest rules for your water. Regulations can change, so always verify the latest guidance with state authorities before your trip.

    Great Trip

    Captain Josh was very professional and experienced. It was my 11yr old Son’s first time on the water, we’re already planning for another trip! Caught Red snapper, Sand Trout, Gaftopsail Catfish, Hardhead Catfish, and a few other species, in the last 5 minutes of the trip we pulled in a 43” red!

    (Full Day Trip)

    Captain Wayne will work hard to make it happen.

    We had low expectations because it had been hot for several days and all the reports were bad. On his own, Capt. Wayne set some Catfish drops the day before in case the bass fishing did not work out. But because he had his rig ready and got us out early, had the right equipment and knew the lake, we had lots of luck and caught a boat load. Thanks Captain

    (The Whole Enchilada (Port Aransas))

    Fish fishing trip in Texas, it was amazing!

    Our trip with Dan was spectacular!! He is very knowledgeable of the fish, and knew exactly where to take us! We caught a variety of fish such as spotted sea trout, lady fish, red drum, ribbon fish, catfish, and even a shark! Needless to say, we got the whole enchilada! Whenever we venture back down to the area, we will be booking with Dan again! If you're thinking about booking, do it!
