About Your Trip

This trip is perfect for anglers looking to chase big, aggressive freshwater sportfish in South Texas! On this trip, you'll be fishing Falcon Lake for big ol' Catfish, Gar, and Largemouth Bass—three big-time species that are exciting for anglers of all levels.

Each of these species has totally different behavior, prey, and naturally, you'll use different fishing techniques to hook 'em up. Gar are ambush predators that hunt near the middle of the water column, grabbing baitfish and even small birds and animals in their sharp teeth. You'll use cut bait on steel leaders to hook these prehistoric predators, which fight extremely hard and can be a real challenge to get on the boat!
Catfish are bottomfeeders that eat all kinds of baits. You'll bottomfish for these big fish, and then fight them up to the surface on heavier tackle.
Finally, Largemouth Bass are opportunistic feeders that love to hit worms, baitfish, frogs, and more. You'll fish for these guys using light-tackle cast and retrieve techniques with a variety of baits and lures.

You'll be fishing aboard Captain Joshua's 15' utility boat. She has a shallow draft and a big deck to give you access to lots of water, and is kitted out for a successful trip. Get out there and have a blast!

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.
