Captain Bryan offers the best freshwater Redfish trips you'll find anywhere. Yeah, you read that right- freshwater redfish trips on Lake Calaveras are something you need to see to believe!

Every year, Texas Parks and Wildlife bi-annually releases over 600,000 red drum ("Redfish") into Calaveras Lake. Captain Bryan will set up his 21' Carolina Skiff for downrigging to put your group on the Redfish. Lake Calaveras also offers up sizable Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Striped Bass ("Stripers") and more.

Captain Bryan's 21' Carolina Skiff is complete with twin 150 HP Johnson engines, GPS, fishfinder, radar, VHF radio, and safety gear.

Captain Bryan provides all necessary fishing gear and tackle, including top-quality Penn rods and reels. All live bait will be caught from the lake and is included in the price of your trip.

To end your trip, Captain Bryan will clean and fillet your catch so you can head home with a fresh catch for dinner.

Meet Captain Bryan with your fishing licenses, a cooler full of snacks and drinks, favorite shades, and get ready to reel in some giants!

Captain Bryan knows Lake Calaveras. He has been guiding guests for 13 years. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He found the drum school and put us on them. We limited out and had a great time!!! We will be back soon!!!

Bryan can put you on the fish! Caught & released plus or minus 25 reds in about 3 hours, and at 2 points we had four fish on the lines at the same time. Freshwater reds are a bucket lister for anyone.

My boyfriend and I had so much fun out on the water with Capt. Bryan for our trip. We had booked the charter as a joint graduation present for the both of us and it was an experience to remember. Capt. Bryan was knowledgeable about the waters, the fish, and was very personable. We went home with our limit and would recommend Capt. Bryan to anyone for a great time!
