Reel in Bass on Lake Travis or Austin

Ready to chase some of the best bass fishing Central Texas has to offer? Our 6-hour morning charter on Lake Travis or Lake Austin is tailor-made for anglers looking to maximize their time on the water. We're talking prime bass habitat, seasoned local knowledge, and all the gear you need to land some impressive largemouth, smallmouth, and white bass. Whether you're a tournament pro or just love the thrill of the catch, Captain Randy Fesler's got the inside scoop on where the fish are biting and how to entice them to strike.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll kick things off bright and early at 8 AM (though we might adjust for seasonal patterns to hit that perfect bite window). You and a buddy will hop aboard for a full 6 hours of focused fishing time. No need to lug your tackle box – we've got top-notch rods, reels, and all the bait and lures you'll need. Captain Randy's been chasing bass on these lakes for years, so he'll clue you in on the hotspots and help you dial in your technique. Expect a mix of structure fishing, working the shorelines, and maybe even some open water action if the fish are schooling up. The goal? To keep those rods bent and the fish coming over the gunwale all morning long.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

This isn't your average "cast and hope" fishing trip. We're talking about employing proven strategies to target big bass. Depending on the season and conditions, we might be flipping jigs around submerged timber, working soft plastics through grass beds, or throwing topwater lures for some explosive action. Captain Randy's always got a pulse on what the fish want, whether it's a finesse presentation with drop shots and shakey heads, or going big with swimbait to trigger those trophy bites. He'll share tips on reading your electronics, understanding how bass relate to structure, and fine-tuning your retrieves to get more bites. By the end of the day, you'll have some new tricks in your angling arsenal.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

"It was a great morning, we stayed busy reeling in the fish most of the time and there was some time that we had fish on three different poles and Randy had to help us get them on with the net. Randy knew where to find the fish and what to use for bate. Thank you for a fun morning." - Brenda

"Great day on the lake. Randy was active and engaged the entire time. We could tell his goal was to put us on fish. He did not disappoint. We caught multiple species of fish during our trip and kept my son and I engaged the entire time. Randy is very easy to get along with which made the trip even more special. I would recommend his guide services to my friends and family." - Matt

"Randy is the real deal. His experience and knowledge when it comes to fishing is outstanding. He had the latest gear and tech to enhance your experience. Randy is a true professional and he has an awesome personality. Super easy to talk to." - Point

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The crown jewel of Lake Travis and Lake Austin, these bucket-mouthed bruisers are what dreams are made of. They can push past the 10-pound mark in these waters, offering a true trophy potential. Spring is prime time when they're up shallow spawning, but we catch quality fish year-round. Largemouth are ambush predators, so we'll target them around cover like submerged trees, boat docks, and grass lines. There's nothing quite like the heart-stopping moment when a big largemouth crushes a topwater lure at first light.

Smallmouth Bass: Often overlooked by visiting anglers, the smallmouth bass in these lakes are absolute fighters. They might not reach the same size as their largemouth cousins, but pound-for-pound, they'll give you one of the best battles you'll find in freshwater. We typically find them in slightly deeper water, often relating to rocky points and ledges. Fall is a fantastic time to target smallies when they're feeding heavily to bulk up for winter. Expect hard strikes and acrobatic jumps when you hook into one of these bronze backs.

White Bass: When the white bass are running, it's non-stop action. These schooling fish can create surface-busting feeding frenzies that'll have your reel singing. They're not the biggest (usually 1-3 pounds), but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and fight. Spring sees huge spawning runs up the rivers and creeks feeding the lakes, but we can find roaming schools throughout the year. Jigging spoons or working small crankbaits through a school of white bass is about as much fun as you can have with a rod in your hand.
