About Your Trip

Enjoy a huge day of action-packed Catfishing with Milton and his crew just outside of Ennis, TX! Milton is well known in Texas for his ability to find, hook, and land some absolutely massive Flathead Cats, which can get up to fifty pounds and four feet long!

Whether you're an experienced angler or new to the sport, Milton will put you on some monsters and make sure you land a real hog. You'll be tossing cut bait, which these Cats love to eat. It'll be heavy tackle, so bring your A-game!

You'll be out there on Milton's 20' G3 skiff. She has a shallow draft to let you in to every part of the river, and has a 150HP Yamaha to get you wherever you want to go.
Milton will provide all the rods, reels, leaders, bait, snacks and drinks for your trip. All you're required to bring is your Texas All Water License. Milton's boat fits 3 anglers comfortably, so make sure to bring some good company. Finally, make sure to bring sun protection and proper clothing—it can get hot out there!

Terrific trip with Milton. Fishing started slow, but we stuck it out and everybody caught their first-ever gar! Milton moved spots several times to get us more shots, and we caught fish while every other boat on the river got skunked. Will definitely be back!

We went out with one of Milton's guides, Captain Manny. We chatted over texts before the trip and I'm glad we did. He asked about what we were expecting; trophies or quantity. This led him to suggest a different lake, which was the same distance from us. And it was perfect! He educated us on catfishing around the area and we picked his brain about fishing in general. That alone is worth the price of...

We went out with one of Milton's guides, Captain Manny. We chatted over texts before the trip and I'm glad we did. He asked about what we were expecting; trophies or quantity. This led him to suggest a different lake, which was the same distance from us. And it was perfect! He educated us on catfishing around the area and we picked his brain about fishing in general. That alone is worth the price of a guide. On top of that, he put us on a 20 lb blue in the first 15 minutes. The boat was very roomy for the 3 of us plus the Captain and just about anything else you would want to bring. I would consider this a very family and beginner friendly trip. They provided all gear and tackle. It whole process was so convenient I'm already thinking about the next dates I can get out there again.
