Catch512ATX was built on one core belief—everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the water. What started through participation in angler events for underprivileged children and individuals without access to a boat quickly became something much bigger. We witnessed firsthand the impact of putting someone on the water for the first time—the excitement, the freedom, and that unforgettable moment when they feel the tug at the end of the line. That realization became our mission. Catch512ATX was created to bridge that gap by providing access, education, and a true on-the-water fishing experience. From casual anglers to competitive fishermen, our goal is to deliver more than just a trip—we deliver lasting memories. With licensed guides, tournament-level experience, and a passion for teaching, we cater to all skill levels. Whether it's your first time holding a rod or you're chasing your next personal best, every trip is built around you. At the end of the day, it's simple: Phones Down, Lines Out.

    Best trip no matter the weather

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    It was a great time with Derek. Weather was bad early so it was opposed to fighting it delayed the trip but still got my full guide tour yet we caught fish very conversational. Had a good look at many areas around Lake Travis timely and courteous couldn’t have asked for a better time.

    Lucas, thank you for trusting Catch512 with your birthday celebration. Captain Rich and I put in the work, hitting two lakes and testing the waters to make sure your trip was dialed in and ready to roll. I’m glad you and your guests had a great experience and made some solid memories on the water. That’s what it’s all about. Happy Birthday from Catch512 — and remember… Phones Down, Lines Out. 🎣

    D is the man!!!!

    Half Day Trip (AM)

    Took my girl out on a fishing trip with Derek. We didn’t know much about fishing. We arrived at the dock and Derek took us out to the hot spots. Slow at first but Derek quick changed up the lures and relocated us. We couldn’t keep up with the fish. We even extended for another hour and caught 2 large cats. DeeZ the Man!!!

    Reported catch:

    Fishing trip in March

    5-hour Weekday Trip

    I took my son camping for a father son fishing trip. Not knowing the proper equipment or techniques. A fellow camper suggested I call Deez Memories ATX. Very glad I took the advice. Derek took us out the following day and the smiles my son had on his face was priceless. Highly recommended!!!!

    Derek was a great fishing guide and picked the perfect spot for myself and son to catch some fish. He was a nice friendly guy, great with kids and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our day. Highly recommend Derek and his business to anyone.
