Excellent striped bass fishing

Jul 8, 2023 Burnet
We have been on a very good striped bass bite this summer on lake buchanan. Weโ€™ve been catching fish on live shad along with topwater lures for some very fun action! I have been mostly doing morning trips for the best bite and to beat the heat! Book your trip today to get in on the action.

Fantastic Spring Time Fishing
Fantastic Spring Time Fishing
Mar 8, 2023 Burnet
We have enjoyed a long and hot warming trend with air temps in the 80โ€™s and 90โ€™s leading to higher water temps seeing a spike in our fishing. Now we have many options for fishing and all are good. Largemouth bass are moving up shallow to spawn and were catching some really nice big bass. White bass are also moving up rivers and tributaries to make their spawn as well with the stripers and hybrids mixed up with them as well. Springtime is the BEST time to fish in central texas and there is very few dates that remain on the schedule. Book your trip today to get the date that you want !

We have been blessed with a warming trend here in central texas and it has continued to ramp up our fishing. The white bass have been staging at their classic areas to spawn and they are very hungry. These fish provide lots of action and fun and a generally pretty easy to catch which is perfect for kids and novice anglers. The stripers and hybrids havent been too far behind and we are catching those on live bait and the fly. Largemouth bass have also been biting out deep and up shallow. I highly reccommend booking the date you want now because half of march and half of april are already booked up. Midweek morning trips fish the best this time of year. Afternoon trips work well too especially the fly trips in the afternoon.

Fly Fishing Hybrid Striped Bass in Austi
Fly Fishing Hybrid Striped Bass in Austi
Feb 15, 2023 Burnet
There is no secret that Austin offers some incredible fishing but there is a special lake a short drive from downtown and the airport. Lake Walter E Long or Lake decker as commonly called has a high density population of Largemouth bass and Hybrid Striped bass in both numbers and size! Lake Buchanan has been fishing very well recently but I had a day off from guiding so I am always looking to fish and try new techniques in different waters so I decided to spend a afternoon on lake decker to try fly fishing. With the lake being small in size its easy to cover a lot of water with the flies. Our first big bite came and to my surprise it was a largemouth and a good one too a solid five pounder! We kept covering water and then we got another big bite and this one pulled off a bunch of line and quite the fight later a very large hybrid striped bass 24 inches and 6.5 pounds an absolute blast on the fly tackle. We wound up catching more hybrids and largemouth throughout the rest of the trip a true success on the new fly technique. If you are in the Austin area and want to try something very different and fun book a morning or afternoon fly fishing trip!

Excellent Winter Fishing
Excellent Winter Fishing
Feb 1, 2023 Burnet
Fishing has been great to fantastic throughout january and february. We have been averaging 50-100 plus fish a trip. White bass, Hybrid Striped Bass and Striped bass. Weve been catching our fish on jigging spoons and small swimbaits in 30-60ft of water. Lots of fun and plenty of action for all ages and experience levels. Perfect for those who want to fill their cooler or those who just want to catch a bunch of fish and practice catch and release. Mornings have been cold but afternoon trips have been much warmer and have produced lots of fish. Spring is right around the corner and its time to book those trips and secure a prime spring date before they are gone!

End of year fishing report
Dec 31, 2022 Burnet
While the 2022 fishing year has been great the month of december was incedible for fishing. This past week we have seen massive volumes of fish. I actually havent seen schools this big since spring but this is very typical of striped bass and white bass in winter to gather in large schools. We have been able to spot lock on these big schools and vertical jig chrome spoons and swimbaits to these hungry fish. It has not been uncommon to catch 50-100+ fish on both morning and afternoon trips. While some days may be colder there is still plenty of days of great weather and fantastic fishing. We have been using a wide varitey of techniques including jigging, trolling flies, and alabama rigs. Now is the perfect time to get out on the water. Weekend trips are most popular and this part of year sometimes you have the entire lake to yourself ! Thank you to everyone that came fishing this year !
