Lake Travis: Name of the game right now is just find the right spot! The fishing can be slow until you find the right spot right now. Tough to find a repeatable pattern, but when you find the right little spot, it can be lights out! We are doing the best on steeper banks / offshore ledges with a drop shot rigged finesse worm. Fish quickly and cover water until you get a bite or two and then slow way down to see how many fish may be there!

My son and I had a great time. We caught a crazy amount of bass. I can’t speak highly enough of Richard our guide and how Derek was great with communication. Will definitely book them again.

Great day on the water with Ander and my friend Vance. I got to keep two of the bigger fish that I caught to eat! They tasted great with some blackening spices and butter. I'll recommend Ander to anyone looking to have a wonderful time fishing!

We had an excellent trip with Jake. He’s very knowledgeable and patient. Two of our three are brand new to fishing and he was incredibly helpful and made it fun. He was able to help the group catch a ton of fish, including personal bests for the more experienced angler in our group. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Thanks Jake!

Ryan and Thomas did a great job, very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time and caught a bunch of nice sized rainbows, and also really enjoyed seeing some parts of the river that we would not have seen otherwise. I highly recommend these folks!
