We had an epic time with Carson fishing Lake Austin. We caught on a mix of different baits to keep things fun with worms, swim baits, etc. Was awesome learning a new lake and Carson had the tips and tricks to keep us on fish all morning. Can’t wait to run it back. - Jonathan with Captain Experiences

Great trip, Jake was easy to communicate with, organized & on time, and super to fish with! We went out with my fishy 5 year old and Jake was very patient and kind, helping us get great casts at all sorts of spots all over the lake. Even my son commented “you are really nice!” Caught lots of large mouth and Guadalupe, and even a drum. It was a beautiful day on the water. We will definitely go out again with Jake!
