About Your Trip

Spend a day out on Brazos river fishing for smallmouth or largemouth bass and blue catfish with Shane. Shane will share his intimate knowledge of fishing and paddle craft, as he provides you with the opportunity to fish for a wide variety of Texas' most popular fresh water game fish over the course of 8 hours.

This trip is completely customizable to both you and current river conditions. Depending on the time of year, and species you would like to target, Shane will work with you to determine the best start time and location for the trip.

All of Shane's kayaks are also completely customized for fishing on the Brazo's river with special fishing rigs and seats to keep you comfortable all day. He also has canoes that can be used if preferred, if there's a large group with extra gear, or if there are kids who aren't quite ready for the kayak.

All you need is a Texas fishing license, snacks and drinks, and sun protection, and Shane will be ready to take you on an adventure!

My nephew and I recently went on a fishing kayak tour on the Brazos River, and we had a fantastic experience with our guide, Shane. From the very start, it was clear that he has a deep knowledge of the river—he knew exactly where to go and gave great advice on how and where to fish.
Shane was incredibly patient with both of us, making sure we felt comfortable and confident the entire time. He took the time to explain techniques and answer questions without ever making us feel rushed. His calm, friendly approach really made the trip enjoyable.
Thanks to his guidance, we had a successful outing and learned a lot along the way. If you’re considering a fishing trip on the Brazos, I would definitely recommend Shane as your guide. He made it a memorable experience for both me and my nephew.
