About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Kevin for an action-packed day of Austin Bass fishing. Beyond water sports and party coves, Lake Travis is known for its big bass! The bay is filled with mostly Largemouth, but Captain Kevin occasionally targets Stripers as well. He likes to target these species on light tackle gear using a variety of bass soft plastic and hard baits. Whichever flavor suits your fancy, Captain Kevin can accommodate.
