trip description for Hybrid & Sand Bass Slam in Runaway Bay

Want to catch a big fish on Lake Bridgeport, but you don't have a boat? Captain Keith is the man for the job! With over 25 years of experience and the current lake record Hybrid Bass under his belt, he is ready to help you catch that next trophy fish. On Lake Bridgeport with Captain Keith, you will be fishing for White (Sand) Bass and Hybrid Striped Bass. He fishes year-round and likes to use both lures and live bait depending on the time of year. In the winter months specifically, he likes to fish lures, using "slabs" and "Deadstick" jigs. It's a fun, hands-on way to catch them up! And as the water warms up in the spring and summer months, he will mix in more live bait action but is always willing to throw a lure! You will be fishing out of a 22 ft Key West Center Console (with T-Top!) equipped with everything needed to put fish in the boat, including a state-of-the-art bait tank. His service is complete, all you will need is a freshwater license and what you want to eat or drink. Kieth will supply all of the rods, reels, tackle, lures and will even clean/bag any fish you want to bring home. Read More

trip description for Brazos River Exclusive Access in Graford

For a lot of Texans, the Brazos river might evoke notions of urban, domesticated, and overcrowded water. Which for a lot of stretches on this river, might be true... But JD specializes in fishing a stretch of the Brazos that is all but inaccessible to the daily fishermen and remains a safe haven of sublime water & wildlife, beautiful cut-banks, and Giant Largemouth Bass! JD has 4 private access points along the 20 mile stretch from PK Lake down to Farm to Market #4, that otherwise would take multiple days to float your way through. Instead JD invites you to come fish with him for half day 4 hour or full day 8 hour trip targeting that same incredible water in half the time! JD will be rowing you down the river in his customized NRS Star fishing raft. Which provides a comfortable ride for 2 guests. Additional guests will be on a separate boat with another guide, but ya'll will stick together, and can mix and match who fishes with who as you drift along. Whilst floating through the slow pools as you move down the river you'll be hammering the banks with poppers looking to excite some big fish for some topwater action. But when a run or deep pool looks particularly tasty, JD will tie the boat up on the bank so ya'll can get out and hone in on the best water and the biggest fish! The raft will be loaded up with all the necessary gear, water, and ice you'll need for the day and JD recommends bringing your favorite snacks, drinks, or even a light lunch, but the only thing you need to bring with you is a Texas freshwater fishing license, so don't forget that!

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    Excellent guide and excellent experience. We had a successful hunt. The captain experience website, however, was incorrect, it listed morning hunting as an option when this was not accurate. This Did cause some minor inconvenience with planning, travel, overnight stay, etc. that said, we would continue to use the service and same Guide for the same or similar hunts in the future.

    Adam C. with Blake E. of Bowie, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    The team was excellent and we had an hugely successful hunt. My husband and I booked this to celebrate our anniversary and although my husband has hunted a lot, this was my first time. The location we were taken to was great, the decoys and the blind were set up perfectly, and our guide (Jesse) was an EXCELLENT caller! NOTE: we were paired with two other hunters (which we were not expecting - and was not communicated beforehand) and although it worked out fine, just something to be aware of.

    Loree F. with Blake E. of Bowie, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time with Keith. Very knowledgeable and knows where the big fish are.
