Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The king of Austin's lakes, largemouth bass are the prized catch for most of our anglers. These bruisers can top 10 pounds in our waters, and they're known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. Spring and fall are prime times for trophy largemouth, but we catch good fish year-round. There's nothing quite like the heart-stopping moment when a big largemouth slams your lure and the fight is on!

Spotted Bass: Often overlooked by visiting anglers, spotted bass (or "Kentucky bass" as some folks call 'em) are a blast to catch. They tend to hang out in deeper water than their largemouth cousins and put up a scrappy fight on light tackle. Spots love rocky areas and can often be caught when the largemouth bite slows down. While they don't typically grow as large as largemouth, a 3-4 pound spotted bass will give you a run for your money and make for some mighty fine eating if you're looking to keep a few for the table.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, we know you've got options when it comes to fishing in Austin. But there's a reason our clients keep coming back year after year. It's not just about the fish (though we catch plenty). It's about the whole experience. It's watching the mist rise off the lake as you sip your morning coffee. It's the thrill of feeling that first bite of the day. It's swapping stories and laughs with your guide as you cruise to the next hotspot. And yeah, it's definitely about that rush when you net a personal best bass and get that hero shot for the 'gram. Our guides don't just know how to catch fish – they know how to show you a darn good time on the water.

Top Catches This Season

Every season brings its own magic to Austin's bass fishing scene. This spring, we've been absolutely crushing it on big largemouth bass cruising the shallows. Several of our clients have landed their personal best fish, including a whopping 9-pounder that gave one lucky angler the fight of his life. As we move into summer, we're seeing more and more fish relating to deeper structure, and our guides have been dialing in some killer offshore spots. The spotted bass action has been particularly hot lately, with schools of 2-3 pounders providing non-stop action on some trips. Fall is just around the corner, and that's when things really heat up as the bass start feeding heavily to fatten up for winter. If you're dreaming of that double-digit bass, autumn is prime time to make it happen.
