What to Expect on the Water

We'll hit the hotspots for Crappie, White Bass, and Catfish, adjusting our tactics based on what's biting. No experience? No problem. We'll show you the ropes and have you reeling them in like a pro.

The clear Texas skies and gentle lapping of the water against the boat create the perfect backdrop for a day well spent.

Techniques & Gear Rundown

We keep things simple but effective out here. Depending on what we're after, we might be using live bait, jigging, or tossing out some cut bait for those big catfish. Our boat is decked out with fish finders to locate the schools, and we've got all the rods, reels, and tackle you'll need. We're talking quality stuff here – no bargain bin gear on this trip. For crappie, we often use light tackle and small jigs, while we'll beef things up a bit when we're after those chunky catfish. White bass? Get ready for some fast action with spinner baits or small crankbaits. Whatever the fish are in the mood for, we've got it covered.

Top Catches This Season

While every trip is different, our anglers have been crushing it lately. Crappie have been stacked up around submerged timber, with many folks limiting out before lunchtime. The white bass runs have been insane, with schools busting the surface and providing non-stop action. As for catfish, let's just say you might want to start planning that fish fry. Our customers have been hauling in some real beauties, with several flatheads topping 20 pounds. It's been a banner year, and we're excited to get you out there to experience it firsthand.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Crappie: These tasty panfish are a favorite among our guests. They might not be the biggest, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers and flavor. Spring is prime time for crappie fishing, as they move into shallow water to spawn. We'll target them around brush piles and submerged structure. Once you find a school, it's not uncommon to catch them one after another. Their light bite and spirited fight make them a blast on light tackle.

White Bass: If you're looking for fast action, white bass are your ticket. These fish often school up in huge numbers, creating feeding frenzies that can last for hours. They're most active in the spring during their spawning run, but we catch them year-round. White bass hit hard and fight well above their weight class. When we find a school, be prepared for some serious rod-bending action. They're also excellent eating, with firm, white flesh that's perfect for fish tacos.

Flathead Catfish: Now we're talking about some serious whiskers. Flatheads are the apex predators of our local waters, and they can grow to enormous sizes. While we catch them year-round, summer nights are prime time for these big boys. They prefer live bait and tend to hang around structure like fallen trees and deep holes. When a flathead takes your bait, hold on tight – these fish can pull like a freight train. Landing a big flathead is an experience you won't soon forget, and they make for some fantastic table fare too.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish – though that's a big part of it. Our trips are designed to be fun for everyone, from seasoned anglers to first-timers. We've had families create lifelong memories, buddies enjoy some quality time away from the grind, and solo travelers find new fishing friends. The relaxed pace means you can chat, enjoy the scenery, and really soak in the experience. Plus, there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of reeling in your own dinner. Many of our guests tell us it's the highlight of their San Antonio visit.
