It's like a master class in bass fishing, with real-time adjustments that'll up your game no matter your skill level.

Target Species

Largemouth Bass: The crown jewel of Lake Travis and Lake Austin, these bucket-mouthed bruisers are what dreams are made of. They love to hang around submerged brush and drop-offs, waiting to ambush their prey. Spring and fall are prime times to land a wall-hanger, but don't count out a summer night bite for some serious action. Anglers come from all over to tangle with our Largemouth - they grow big here, and they fight hard.

Spotted Bass: Don't let their slightly smaller size fool you - Spotted Bass are pound-for-pound some of the scrappiest fighters you'll encounter. These feisty cousins of the Largemouth prefer deeper, clearer water and rocky habitat. They're aggressive feeders, which means non-stop action when you find a school. Late spring through early summer is your best bet for numbers, but they'll hit year-round if you know where to look.

White Bass: When these silver bullets start schooling, hold onto your hat! White Bass are known for their explosive feeding frenzies, especially during their spring run up the rivers. They're not picky eaters, which makes them perfect for anglers of all skill levels. And when you hook into a big one, you're in for a reel-screaming good time. Best of all, they're delicious if you're looking to take some home for dinner.

Striped Bass: The heavyweight champs of our lakes, Stripers will test your tackle and your stamina. These powerful fish often hunt in schools, so when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. They love to chase bait in open water, which can lead to some truly epic topwater blowups. Fall and winter are prime Striper seasons, but with Captain Randy's know-how, you've got a shot at them year-round. Landing a big Striper is a badge of honor for any angler visiting Central Texas.

Largemouth Bass

Largemouth bass are the heavyweights of the freshwater world, often reaching 5-10 pounds. You'll find them lurking near structure in lakes and rivers, especially around submerged logs, weed edges, and drop-offs. These ambush predators are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but you can catch them year-round. Largemouths are popular for their size and the challenge they present - when you hook one, be ready for some serious action. They're not picky eaters, so a variety of lures work well. My go-to trick is using a Texas-rigged plastic worm, slowly working it through cover. Let it sit still for a moment – that pause often triggers a strike. Whether you're after a trophy or just want to feel that heart-pounding excitement, largemouth bass fishing is hard to beat.

Spotted Bass

Spotted bass, or "spots," are the scrappy cousins of largemouths. They typically run 1-3 pounds but fight like they're twice that size. Look for them in clearer, moving water with rocky or gravel bottoms. They love hanging around underwater structure like ledges and points. Spots are active year-round but really turn on during spring and fall. Anglers prize them for their aggressive nature and the challenge they present in finesse fishing situations. These fish school up more than other bass, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch. To catch them, try small jigs or soft plastics rigged on light tackle. One local trick: use a drop-shot rig with a small finesse worm, especially when fishing deeper water. The key is to keep your presentation subtle – spots can be more finicky than their largemouth relatives.

Striped Bass

Striped bass, or "stripers," are the powerhouses of our lakes, often reaching 10-30 pounds. These silver-sided bruisers with distinctive black stripes are structure-oriented, hanging around points, humps, and creek channels. They're most active in cooler months, especially fall and spring. Stripers are prized for their hard-fighting nature and impressive size – hooking one feels like you've tied into a freight train. They're often found chasing schools of shad, so look for surface activity or birds diving. Live bait like shad or big minnows works well, but artificial lures like large swimbaits or topwater plugs can provoke explosive strikes. My favorite local tactic is to troll big deep-diving crankbaits along river channels at dawn. When you find the stripers, be ready for some serious rod-bending action and a fight you won't soon forget.

White Bass

White bass are the speedsters of our local waters, usually weighing in at 1-3 pounds. These silvery fish with distinctive dark stripes love to school up and chase bait in open water. You'll often find them in lakes and rivers, especially near points and drop-offs. Spring is prime time when they make their spawning runs up tributaries. White bass are a blast to catch – they hit hard and fight well above their weight class. Anglers love them for fast action and their tasty fillets. To catch whites, watch for surface activity and diving birds. When you spot a school, cast small jigs, spinners, or live minnows into the fray. Here's a local tip: troll with small crankbaits along main lake points in early morning or late evening for consistent action. When the bite is on, it's not uncommon to catch them two at a time!
