Captain Gilbert took my son and one of his friends out on Friday for my son’s 19th birthday. The boys had an absolute blast, catching a few great fish during their half-day charter. Captain Gilbert was kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the trip.

Leading up to the charter, he was professional and courteous while helping us find the right time and location. I felt it was important to first find the perfect guide, and Captain Gilbert certainly delivered. Once we spoke, choosing the location was easy.

We look forward to booking with him again in the spring. Thank you for your time, instruction, and a great experience. And lastly—happy birthday, Captain! See you soon.

Amazing time on the water, Gilbert is a phenomenal guide. From the first-rate equipment to his bass fishing knowledge, our first Texas fishing experience was incredible. He quickly got us up to speed on southern bass and put us on the quality fish we were hoping to catch. The unexpected bonus were all of his intriguing stories that filled the time between fish-on. I highly recommend his service and look forward to our next time with Gilbert.

My brother and I, both lifelong anglers from Pennsylvania, recently booked a guided largemouth bass trip on Grapevine Lake with Captain Seth of GTB Outdoors—and it turned out to be one of the best fishing experiences we’ve ever had.

Captain Seth, an accomplished understudy of the well-known Captain Gilbert, demonstrated a level of preparation, insight, and professionalism that set the tone for an incredible day on the water. Fishing in completely unfamiliar waters, we relied on his expertise—and he delivered. He had pre-fished the lake earlier in the week and selected lures specifically based on water temperature, lake level, and bass behavior in the current weather conditions.

What impressed us most was his methodical approach. Captain Seth patiently walked us through his lure choices—several of which were brand new to us despite our combined 80+ years of fishing experience. He also explained the structure we were targeting, encouraged us to fish aggressively even when it meant risking snags, and it paid off big time—we landed some fantastic bass!

Captain Seth was generous with his knowledge, answering all our questions thoroughly and teaching us techniques and strategies we’ll take home to use on our own waters in Pennsylvania. He’s not just a guide—he’s a true teacher and professional.

We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to fish with Captain Seth and can’t recommend GTB Outdoors highly enough. If you’re serious about bass fishing and want a knowledgeable, patient, and passionate guide, this is the service to book.

Today, my friends and I spent a wonderful day fishing in Dallas with Captain Gilbert Miller from GTB Outdoors, who provided an outstanding guide service. From morning till afternoon, he was incredibly thorough in helping us change baits, ensuring we were always using the best gear for the conditions. He showed great patience with my beginner friend, guiding him step-by-step on how to cast, handle the rod, and even deal with the catch, making him feel both comfortable and confident. What thrilled me most was that, with his help, I updated my personal best (PB) by landing an amazing fish! The entire day was filled with learning, fishing, and enjoying the beautiful scenery, and Gilbert’s passion for fishing was truly infectious. It was a joyful and unforgettable experience. If I ever get the chance to return to Dallas, I’ll definitely book with Captain Gilbert again, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to fish in this area!

I booked the full day instructional trip with Captain Gilbert. I was having issues transferring from pond hopping to learning how to fish on a lake, and he had some great advice and tips and lessons on how to adjust for lake fishing as well as things to add to my skill set. On top of this, he was extremely friendly, patient, great at explaining things at the different levels I needed it, and easy to get along with! I highly recommend using Captain Gilbert for your next fishing adventure!
