Stillhouse Hollow Lake: Fishing is getting better as the weather continues to cool. We are doing well with weightless trick worms fished shallow around points.

We are doing well targeting huge schools of bass in and around the numerous marinas on the lake. Best baits are small weightless soft plastic jerkbaits and drop shot rigged finesse worms.

Stillhouse Hollow continues to kick out good numbers and some giant bass! If it’s numbers you’re after, chasing the nomadic schools of bass offshore are the way to go. Use forward facing sonar to locate these schools and then cast small weightless soft plastic jerkbaits at them fished quickly across the surface. For big bass, fish the shallows with topwater lures like the River2Sea Rover!

Stillhouse Hollow: We are averaging 30 bass on slower trips and over 60 on the good ones! Targeting bass over shallow vegetation with various topwater lures and swimbaits will do well for larger bass during the early morning and late evening hours. For numbers, we are targeting huge schools of nomadic offshore bass that are roaming open water in search of baitfish. We are locating these schools with forward facing sonar and then catching them with weightless soft plastic jerkbaits fished quickly across the surface. These schools are suspended over water that is anywhere from 25 to over 100 ft

Stillhouse Hollow: We are doing great on numbers of bass with the occasional big one. Our primary strategy has been to target nomadic schools of bass offshore in open water. Once we find them, we are catching them on a small, weightless soft plastic jerkbait. We are also finding success by using drop shot rigged finesse worms in submerged vegetation in 8-20 ft of water.

Fishing has been really good! Catching schooling fish in the morning on top waters and swim baits. As the sun gets higher im moving to the outside grass line with drop shots and shakey heads. Been producing very good numbers and decent quality!

Caught two Saturday..... mainly saw gar and carp. A few smallmouth buffalos. Not many hungry bass. But the carp are on right now and the clarity is super good. Flows seems around 60-120cfs and it gettin the mossy areas a breathe of fresh air. So wading looks like the move.

Fishing has been incredible! Fish have moved to a mostly post spawn pattern. We have been catching them on main lake flats, primary and secondary points. On the flats I've been throwing swim baits and spinner baits. Moving to the points I drag the bottom with a drop shot or shakey head.

I took out Logan and his son Alex on Lake Travis. Man did we have some fun. Each angler caught and released 6 Large Mouth Bass. Logan’s son Alex caught an impressive 8.5 Lb bass all on his own.

Earlier this month I had a charter with a lovely newly married couple. The husband wanted to surprise his wife with a fishing trip.
After speaking with him and knowing that this is a surprise for his lovely wife, I wanted to do something extra special for them. I went ahead and bought flowers , and have them specially delivered...

while we were on the lake with the help of another angler and his boat.
To me, it’s always about making memories. And I’m sure that day there’s a memory that’s going to be with them for the rest of your life and that is what is important to me.

    We had a spectacular day fishing Lake Bastrop with Captain Aaron. His equipment is state of the art, high-tech and he put us on some nice fish. We had a great time and hope to do it again soon.

    Aaron knows the lakes around Austin and has plenty of material onboard. We catched several fishes while weather conditions where difficult. Additionaly he was flexible and changed the trip date to get a better weather window. Aaron fits your expectations and is very friendly. I definetly recommend.

    My son and I recently went on a guided trip with Derek and we could not be happier! Originally we were scheduled for Lake Austin, but Derek had gotten some news that we should hit Lake Travis instead, and it definitely paid off! His knowledge of the lake and guidance with us novice fishermen (and just a good guy all around) led to some fun results!

    Derek did a great job. Even though the weather was a little cold and the fish weren’t too hungry, we hit multiple different spots and everyone on the trip landed something! We also nearly landed a 25 pound mega catfish that would’ve been a personal best! All in all, awesome day, awesome guide.
