Thank you Kristina!
With winds blowing in the 20+mph range and 2-3ft rollers in the lake we set out to try and put sole fish in the boat. Jakeโs 24ft Bulls Bay handled the weather amazingly. As hard as Jake tried he unfortunately couldnโt find the big schools of fish we were looking for. We tried quite a few spots so it wasnโt for a lack of effort. We did end up lading 3 fish in some pretty rough conditions and Iโd happily go back with Jake on another trip in the same weather in a heartbeat.
Always a pleasure to share the boat with you guys, even in some tough fishing conditions!
We will see ya on the next one!

First time chartering with my son, was really excited as was he being our first time we didnโt have an expectation. We caught 5 fish (2 white bass 3 channel catfish) but about 3.5 hours into trip another boat was broken down and instead of finishing the trip started towing the other boat in. We were handed off to another boat to be taken back to boat ramp. Which upon getting aboard this boat and see the haul they got we definitely didnโt do well. Captain was great but wish it didnโt end that way and wish he would have said something after departure. Trip was 6am-11am ( was driving out of parking lot at 10am). The other guy that took us in filleted our fish for us. But for 400 bucks probably wouldnโt do it again. Shore fishing better alternative.

Jason, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I truly appreciate you choosing Barefoot Guide Service for your first charter trip with your son.
Iโm sorry the experience didnโt fully meet your expectations, especially with how the trip ended. While I always do my best to maximize time on the water, in rare cases like this, I made the decision to assist a disabled boater something Iโd hope another captain would do for me or one of my clients in need.
I completely understand how that may have made the trip feel cut short. I arranged for another boat to bring you in to avoid having you sit in the heat during a long tow,ย safety and comfort are always some of my top priorities.
Fishing during late July into August in Texas can be challenging, especially on weekends when we leave the dock early to beat both the heat and the ramp traffic. Itโs a tough window, but I always aim to make the most of every trip.
If you ever decide to give it another shot, Iโd truly appreciate the opportunity to get you and your son back out.

Captain Chad is the best.
What started out as a possible rain situation ended up with us catching seven hybrids and one white bass. Even tho the fish were being finicky, Capt Jake did everything he could think of to make sure we were trying to catch fish. Even gave us some amazing evening / sunset photo opportunities!
Thank you guys! Not a bad day on the water, some hard hybrid hits, beautiful sunset at the same time as a strawberry moonrise!
Jakes know the lake and good fishing! Highly recommended. We caught white bass and catfish.
