Lake Bastrop-12/4- water temp 67, lots of bass shallow right now, can catch these fish with spinnerbaits and flukes, worms also working well on outside edge of the grass, you can rig these on a drop shot or neko rig to stay weedless

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.

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 deep.

    Took my buddy and Tanzania-based guide Dom out with Jake and we had a blast! Jake put us on a number of nice fish. Highlight of the trip was Jake marking a fish with his live scope and Dom and I watching on the livescope as it chased Dom's swimbait and gulped it up! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    Had some family in town for Easter and the spring bite did not disappoint. Jake had plenty of rods rigged up and got us dialed as soon as we figured out what they were hitting. Some nice fish, can't wait to get back out there! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    We had an epic time fishing with Jake as always. Got out there with my buddy Pat from StarterStory and we crushed it. It was Pat's first time fishing in a while but Jake put us on fish and the topwater bite was on. Will be back soon! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    My buddy and I had an awesome time fishing with Kevin and Lee. This was our first time carp fishing and it didn't disappoint. These guys run a great program from setting up a nice camp (with fresh coffee) to cannonball launching multiple rods with their cornmeal balls that carp love. We had numerous bites on a quick trip and landed a giant! Kevin and Lee were first class handling the fish and got some great shots for us. – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    Had a super time with Jake. Took my kiddo and his best friend out for an afternoon on Lady Bird Lake. Jake is great with youngsters and took great joy when they had their first catch. Awesome guy, awesome boat, and an awesome experience. This is my second time out with Jake and I’ll be booking with him again soon!

    Trip: Town Lake Bass Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Had a blast out on the lake today with Aaron. We hooked three bass our first half hour and it only got better from there. Even though my wife and I have virtually no fishing experience, Aaron was very patient and instructive. We fished in several different spots, targeted a variety of catch and got a tour of Decker Lake in a fast boat. Great guy.
