Prepare for some of the best freshwater fishing in Texas when you hop on board with Ander! Ander knows Austin’s freshwater fishing hotspots like the back of his hand and will take you right to where the fish bite. If you've been looking to set a new personal record, there's no better way than a trip with Ander. Ander usually targets Texas Black Bass, AKA Largemouth Bass, but will take advantage when conditions offer up Catfish, Panfish, Striped Bass, White Bass, or Hybrids (White Bass x Striped Bass). These trips are typically catch-and-release but you can keep your catch within state regulations if you so desire. Ander conducts these 5-hour (half-day) and 8-hour (full-day) trips on his 19’ Nitro—a state-of-the-art bass fishing boat. She's equipped with a wireless trolling motor, a 150-HP Yamaha engine, and top-quality electronics—including a Hydrowave sound emitter—to really enhance your trip! She can accommodate you and your best angling buddy, so choose wisely! While you're more than welcome to bring your own fishing equipment, Ander provides Ardent rods and reels and P-Line fishing line for anglers to enjoy on his bass trips. Make sure to bring a valid Texas Freshwater Fishing License, food and drinks of your choice, a hat, and sunscreen. Come explore this fishing paradise with Ander! Read More
