What types of striped bass fishing trips are common in Texas?

Lake fishing is the most popular type of fishing for striped bass in Texas as well as river fishing and inshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Texas are light tackle fishing, artificial lure fishing, and bottom fishing but drift fishing and trolling are popular as well.

How much does a Texas striped bass fishing trip cost?

Prices for striped bass in Texas can range anywhere from about $375 to $1,175, but the average price for a half day trip for striped bass in Texas is $563. The average price for a full day trip for striped bass in Texas is $1,603.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for striped bass fishing in Texas?

The most popular season for striped bass fishing in Texas is spring, and most anglers book their trips 40 days in advance.

Do I need a Texas fishing license for striped bass and what are the bag limits for striped bass in Texas?

    We had an awesome trip with Captain John! He was an absolute pro and knew where to take us to find the schools. Even with less-than-perfect conditions, John put us right on top of the action. We caught a huge variety — stripers, white bass, drum, and some catfish! All six of us landed several fish and had a fantastic time out on the water. John filleted our catch at the dock, and we made ceviche the same day. Highly recommend booking with Captain John.

    Captain Blake made a valiant effort trying to get us on fish that were just not cooperating. He was on time, great at giving directions, extremely attentive the entire time and most of all he was friendly and treated us with the utmost respect. This was a last minute booking because our original guide canceled. Captain Experiences did a fantastic job accommodating our needs and constantly communicated with us the entire time. I would definitely book again with C-E and Captain Blake. I highly recommend both!

    We had a great float trip! Our guides, Cody and Mitch were fantastic!! They were very knowledgeable of the river how to get us on fish. We had a beginner that had never fly fish before and Cody and Mitch were very patient with teaching him how to cast and catch fish on a fly rod. I would highly recommend these guys for fishing on the Brazos!

    Excellent fishing trip with Captain Richard. He is a very knowledgeable fishing guide with a great personality. We caught about 60 catfish in under 2 hours. He then gave us a boat tour of the Lake Conroe shoreline since it was our first time on the lake.

    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. -Attison with Captain Experiences

    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!
