He loves sharing his experience with expert and beginner anglers alike, and you'll be the better for it!

Captain Carson provides all top of the line rods, tackle, food, drinks, and of course the fishing spots. Get out there with Captain Carson to explore new waters and catch big-time Texas Bass along the way!

About Your Trip

If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure in Austin, Texas, look no further than a trip with Captain Carson! Join Captain Carson on a journey through the waters of Austin's Hill Country and learn how to get those adrenaline-pumping tugs. Listen closely to Captain Carson's trips and tricks and you'll be sure to have a successful fishing trip.

Captain Carson and you will be targeting largemouth and smallmouth bass, so we'll be using a variety of techniques and baits. You will be fishing around structures and using lures that mimic the forage these fish feed on. You will also be fishing deeper pools and drop-offs with live bait. So whether you're a novice angler or a seasoned pro, we'll have you covered. And of course, you'll be using the best gear available to make sure you're successful.

Captain Carson's 18' Bass Boat is the perfect combination of speed and stealth. When fishing for easily spooked creatures, this boat is ideal. On this four-hour (half-day) or eight-hour (full day) adventure, you'll be crushing it. This trip can accommodate up to three people. Captain Carson is a knowledgeable and experienced guide who will help you make the most of your time on the water.

Be sure to bring your Texas Freshwater Fishing License, and Carson will provide the rest! He'll have all the rods, reels, and tackle you need for a successful day of fishing, as well as bottled waters. But if you prefer your own snacks and drinks, feel free to bring them along. Most importantly, come ready to have a great time!

Had the best time with Captain Carson. It was our first time bass fishing outside the Midwest and he was an excellent guide and great at teaching us some new techniques. He was very knowledgable about the area, and has experience with all sorts of fishing from river and lake to offshore. Shared some great stories, had an awesome experience, and plan to be going out again! Thanks again Carson!
