    The Bass were biting

    Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

    My son and I had. A great time Sat morning. We are not greedy so the 15+ we caught were plenty. The Hybrid Striped Bass gave enough fight to have fun but still be reeled in. The Captain (Charles) was very knowledgeable of Belton Lake and history of the area. Bring a small ice chest with ice & drinks. It also doubles as a cold transport for all the fish you catch that Charles fillets and bags up for you.

    Finally catching fish at Belton

    Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults1 child

    Myself and my son finally caught fish on Lake Belton. We caught 27 white bass which we think was awesome. We had a great time. Great memories. The captain actually stayed out an extra hour to see if we can catch more.
