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...

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.
Decker Lake: Some big ones to be caught at Decker right now! We are catching them on drop shot rigged finesse worms in submerged vegetation found in 4-12 ft of water.

Randy was great! The weather made for a tough day, but Randy managed to put us on some fish, so the weather didn't totally ruin the trip. We'll be scheduling another trip with Randy in the near future!
Great Capt. Tough conditions the day we went out but Aaron was great conversation and put us on some fish. When things were slow even invited my son to dive into the lake and cool off with him with a quick swim. All around great captain very knowledgeable friendly and skilled. Would definitely book Aaron again next time we’re in town.
Awesome fishing charter! We had a great time from start to finish. Aaron was knowledgeable, friendly, and knew exactly where to put us on the bass. We caught plenty of fish and had a blast doing it. Everything was well organized, the equipment was great, and the whole trip felt relaxed and enjoyable. We put at least 15-20 fish in the boat within 4 hours.
Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or just looking for a fun day on the water, I’d highly recommend this charter. I’ll definitely be booking another trip next time we’re in the area!
Had an amazing trip with Ray! He taught me how to be a better caster and to refine my bad habits. Caught several fish and two quality large mouths. I would recommend him to anyone who enjoys a day on the water.
Aaron was an outstanding guide. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great day on the water. My cousin and I caught a ton of bass, learned new techniques, and had an absolute blast. If you’re looking for a guide in the Austin area, book with Aaron—you won’t regret it! We’ll definitely be fishing with him again.
10/10. Jake was spectacular captain for my nephew and I. We caught around 17 fish! Jake knew all the good spots, was very informative and made the whole experience seamless and fun!
