Largemouth Bass

Non-stop bites all day long! Summer fishing at Buchanan Dam TX was in full swing as I took Mario out for a Half Day Trip with Reel Texas Fishing Tours.

As the day progressed, we switched things up, trying our hand at live bait fishing. This method paid off when Mario hooked into a hefty 17-inch Largemouth Bass - definitely a highlight of our trip. We rounded out our approach with some crankbait casting, which brought in a few Smallmouth Bass to add to our species count. Throughout the day, we kept moving and adjusting our tactics, making the most of the partly cloudy conditions that seemed to keep the fish active.

Another beautiful evening on the water!

What a great day we had out on the water at Buchanan Dam, Texas! As a guide with Reel Texas Fishing Tours, I'm always excited to take folks out for an evening trip, especially in May when the fish are really active. The weather was just about perfect—partly cloudy throughout the day, with comfortable temperatures that made for a pleasant time on the water.

We started off targeting Wiper (Hybrid striped bass) and White crappie, using a mix of heavy and light tackle. The fish were really responding to the conditions, and it didn't take long before we started hooking up. These species put up a great fight, stripping line and making those drag-screaming runs that get the adrenaline pumping. It was nonstop action, with Joseph skillfully playing each fish to the boat. We landed some real nice specimens, and it was clear he was having a blast reeling them in.

Truthfully, the fishing was just one part of what made this trip so memorable. The real highlight was the camaraderie and good vibes we shared out there. Joseph was a pleasure to fish with—he was engaged, asked great questions, and was genuinely excited about every catch. Between the bites, we traded stories, swapped fishing tips, and just enjoyed each other's company. That's what these trips are all about, in my mind—creating an experience that goes beyond just the numbers.
