About Your Trip

We have teamed up with TechNexus and Midwest House to get Austin on the water this SXSW season. Austin bass fishing is some of the best around, and you don't have to go far.

Bass fishing on Lady Bird Lake ("Town Lake") is sneaky good, and our guides know all the spots. Book an hour-long slot to escape the hustle, chase some fish, and see what Austin has to offer beyond the conference rooms, roundtables, and focus groups.

Aaron, Jake, and Wyatt are three of the best bass guides in Texas with decades of combined experience. Great with beginners and seasoned vets, these guys look forward to coaching beginners and experts and everyone in between.

March is a great month to target Largemouth Bass on Town Lake on light tackle gear using a variety of soft plastic and hard baits.

These trips are great for groups up to 3 and Aaron, Jake, and Wyatt provide all gear and tackle. Just snag a fishing license online, grab some buds, and good luck.

(Life jackets are provided for all anglers during the trip and sharp hooks will be handled by your guide. Please no glass on board and waters provided.)
