An Austin, Texas native, Captain Jackie absolutely loves fishing the Austin area lakes. A natural fisherman, ever since he could cast a rod and reel he's had a talent for getting fish on the line for not only himself, but also his friends. His ability to instruct beginners inspired him to become a fishing guide. Captain Jackie seems to have a sixth sense when it comes to finding fish for his clients!

Captain Jackie loves to teach kids how to catch fish using the latest techniques, methods and information on the lakes he fishes. For many years now, Jackie has participated in the 4-H Sport Fishing Camp experience for Texas children. Kids of any age are welcome to experience the joy of catching a fish and Jackie is ready, willing and able to put them on the stripers of Lake Buchanan in the central Texas Highland lakes!

About Your Trip

Head out with Jackie for an exciting day of Striper fishing on Lake Buchanan!

Lake Buchanan is one of the hottest striper fishing locations in Central Texas as a result of efforts by volunteers and stocking programs by the government. The striper fishing is excellent on this lake. The stripers start their yearly schooling & feeding activity in February.

On this 4 or 8-hour trip, Jackie will motor you out on Lake Buchanan to go after some picture-worthy Crappie, Striped Bass and White Bass. You can target these fish using light tackle, by bottom fishing or creeping up on them with the trolling motor. This trip is great for beginners, and experienced anglers can have a great time too as they pile up the fish. No matter your skill level, Jackie will give you plenty of expert tips to help get some fish on the line!

You'll be fishing aboard a 23' Redfin Center Console with room for 4 people. Powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine, this do-it-all vessel will have no problem getting you to the prime fishing spots. It comes equipped with GPS, a troll motor and Supernova LED fishing lights to make your day of fishing as productive as possible!

Jackie will provide quality rods, reels and tackle, and he'll also clean any keepers for you to take home! All you need to bring is a Texas fishing license, and we recommend sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat and any snacks or beverages you may want out on the water. Tight lines!
