About Your Trip
Get ready for a laid-back, action-packed day on the water with Captain Shaun! Whether you're looking to fill the cooler or just kick back and enjoy the Texas sun, Captain Shaun offers a top-notch freshwater fishing experience across some of North Texas’ most productive lakes.
Based on beautiful Lake Granbury, Captain Shaun runs trips on up to eight different lakes—including Benbrook, Fort Phantom Hill, Proctor, and Whitney—depending on the bite and where the fish are
schooling. With years of experience chasing down Stripers, Hybrid Stripers, White Bass, Crappie, and big Blue Catfish, he knows how to put you on the fish and keep the action going.
You’ll fish aboard Captain Shaun’s 24.6’ NauticStar 244XTS bay boat—built for both comfort and performance. With room for up to 7 anglers, there’s plenty of space for families, groups of friends, or seasoned anglers looking for a productive day. Whether it’s your first time casting a line or you're a seasoned weekend warrior, this trip is tailored for all skill levels.
Captain Shaun uses a variety of techniques based on species and season, including live bait fishing, trolling, sight casting, and working topwater baits when the conditions are right. Crappie and White Bass are often targeted with light tackle and artificial lures, while Stripers and Catfish can be taken using cut bait or live bait setups. And when those topwater lures get crushed—hang on tight!
Live bait, rods, reels, and all tackle are included, so all you need to bring are your snacks, drinks (yes, beer is welcome—just no glass), and a good attitude. Captain Shaun is known for his honesty, high success rate, and calm, friendly approach—making this the ideal trip for families, kids, or anyone looking to relax while still catching a pile of fish.
He’ll even clean and bag your catch at the end of the trip, so you can head home with fresh fillets and great memories.
Whether you're hunting down a cooler full of Crappie or looking to tangle with a big Hybrid Striper, Captain Shaun is ready to show you a fun, fish-filled day on the water. Book your freshwater adventure today!
