Premium Crappie & Catfish Trips in San Antonio

Reel in the Fun: San Antonio Fishing Adventure

Get ready to cast your line into some of San Antonio's best fishing spots! Whether you're looking to spend a quick half-day or go all-in for a full day on the water, C&C Guide Service has got you covered. We're talking prime fishing for crappie, catfish, and white bass that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Our seasoned guide knows these waters like the back of their hand, so you're in for a treat whether you're a total newbie or a seasoned pro.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're out on a roomy bass boat, top-notch gear in hand, and the Texas sun warming your face. Our 4 to 8-hour trips are all about giving you a laid-back day filled with plenty of action. We've got all the gear you need, so just bring yourself and maybe a lucky hat. Our guide's got the inside scoop on where the fish are biting, and they're always happy to share a few tricks of the trade. It's perfect for families looking to bond, friends wanting to chill, or anyone who just wants to escape the daily grind and wet a line.

Fishing Tactics & Local Hot Spots

We mix it up depending on what's biting and where. Some days we might be drifting with live bait for those big catfish, other times we could be working the brush piles for crappie. For white bass, we might run-and-gun, chasing schools as they surface. Our guide's always got a game plan, but we're flexible – if one spot's not producing, we'll move on to the next honey hole. We fish from a decked-out bass boat that'll get us to the action quick and keep us comfortable all day long.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Flathead Catfish: These big boys are the heavyweight champs of our local waters. They can grow to monster sizes, with some topping 50 pounds or more. Flatheads love to hang out near structure, so we'll target fallen trees and deep holes. They're most active at night, but we can still catch them during the day if we know where to look. Landing one of these is always a thrill – they fight hard and make for some great photos.

Crappie: Don't let their size fool you; these tasty panfish are a blast to catch. They school up, so when you find them, it's often non-stop action. We typically find them around brush piles or submerged trees. Spring is prime time when they move shallow to spawn, but we catch them year-round. They're perfect for kids or anyone who wants steady action and a great fish fry afterward.

White Bass: These little powerhouses are known for their aggressive feeding frenzies. When they're running, it's some of the most exciting fishing you'll ever experience. We often find them chasing shad near the surface, and when that happens, it's a casting free-for-all. They typically run in the spring, but we can find them throughout the year. White bass are perfect for anglers who want fast-paced action and the chance to catch a bunch of fish.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks love our trips because we keep it real. No pressure, just good fishing and good times. Our guide's been at this for years, so they know how to put you on fish without making it feel like work. We're all about creating memories – whether that's helping a kid catch their first fish or watching an experienced angler battle a personal best. Plus, San Antonio's lakes are just plain beautiful. Even on a slow day, you're still out enjoying some of Texas' best scenery.

Top Catches This Season

This year's been a good one so far. We've been seeing some chunky catfish coming in, with a few pushing the 30-pound mark. Crappie fishing has been steady, with lots of limits being caught on our full-day trips. The white bass have been schooling up nicely, giving us some of those 'fish on every cast' days that everyone dreams about. Remember, fishing's always a bit of a gamble, but we do our best to stack the odds in your favor.
