Fishing Report December brings cold weather, but with it comes the big buffalo up shallow! If you're looking to catch a ton of big fish, winter is one of the best times to go! This couple put 71 fish in the boat in just 4 hours!

Lake level is - 2.35 below pool and surface temps are in the high 50s. Bass are biting ok right now but business is slow around the Christmas and New Year holidays. Book your pre spawn and spawn trips soon. March and April are prime time months and we will book up quick the closer we get. With the bass starting to get eggs and they will be their heaviest weight of the year. You will have opportunity to maybe catch your personal best. Would love to earn your business!

We had a great time with Captain Andrew and team catching fish and navigating the waves. We were put right on the best areas to catch the snapper we were after. Also, when we forgot a jacket onboard in all the excitement of disembarking, Captain Andrew went out of his way to get it back to us. Thank you for helping make my husbands birthday one to remember!

He took the time to answer all my questions and provided valuable insights about what to expect during the trip.

The equipment was well-maintained, and the setup was efficient and organized. He clearly has a deep knowledge of the area and the best strategies for successful hunting, which added to the overall experience.What truly stood out was his professionalism throughout the trip. Dawson ensured that all safety protocols were followed and took the time to explain the importance of each step.

Trip: Central Texas Duck Hunts
★★★★★
Overall today was just to hot of a day. We saw a lot of birds and David done everything above and beyond to get us on birds but the birds just weren’t cooperating. But definitely a good time. David did give us a rescheduled hunt and maybe the cold weather and birds will move in. David is definitely the best guided service we have been to and we will definitely be rebooking in the future

Trip: Flats and Backwaters on Artificials
★★★★★
We had the BEST time thermal hog hunting with Joe and Jeff from Captain Experiences. The guys were super nice and patient with us as it was our first time hunting. They gave great instruction, were encouraging, and a lot of fun to hang with. They showed up on time and gave us extra time in the end. They seemed to have a great time as well. Everyone in my group was provided a gun with a super cool thermal scope. The AR-15s were set up on a stand for us and we had lots of opportunities to aim and shoot. This was our first time hunting but it definitely will not be our last. It was SOOOO much fun! I highly recommend it!
