About Your Trip

If you're looking to explore the marshes and shallow-water flats around Toledo Bend, TX, then this trip with Steve has your name on it! Steve is passionate about fishing, especially fly-fishing, and ties all of his own flies as well as running his own fly and rod shop. Whether you're an experienced angler looking to try out a new environment, or a beginner looking to perfect your cast, Steve has all the tools and tricks to ensure you have a great day on the water.

On this trip, you'll target Crappie, Largemouth Bass, and White Bass—all freshwater sport species known for their tenacious fighting abilities! These fish will crush lures and dry flies, so you can play to your own strengths. Steve will get you set up with whatever tackle is most suited to the weather, season, and conditions, so you can have the best possible shot at a personal best.

You'll be fishing from Steve's 17' Gator Tail mud boat, which is designed specifically for fishing shallow marshes and flats. You'll be able to get to hard-to-reach places where big fish like to hang out, and cast directly to the lunkers! Steve will bring along everything you need for a blue-ribbon day, including rods, reels, tackle, and flies. All you need is sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and your Texas fishing license!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
