About Your Trip

Head out with Robert for a relaxing day of freshwater fishing and cruising the water on Falcon Lake! Whether you want to take advantage of some of the great Bass fishing this lake has to offer or kick back with some good company, this trip has you covered.

Located 40 miles east of Laredo, Falcon Lake is a reservoir along the Rio Grande River. The lake rests along the Texas / Mexico border and is known for coughing up legendary Largemouth Bass. ​The current lake rod and reel records are 15.63 pounds and 28 inches long for Falcon Largemouth Bass, 60 pounds and 44 inches long for Blue Catfish, 29.90 pounds and 37 inches long for Flathead Catfish!

On this full-day trip, Robert will cruise you out on Falcon Lake where you can enjoy the scenery and throw some lines in the water for Largemouth Bass. All you need to use for these fish is classic light tackle. Whether you're an expert or a beginner, Robert is happy to share some of his expert tips to help get one on the line! With his 30+ years of experience as a lake fishing guide, he's sure to have some great knowledge.

You'll be fishing aboard a comfortable, group-friendly pontoon boat that can fit up to 6 people. Robert will provide all rods, reels, line, hooks, weights and plastics (no hard baits). All you need to bring is a valid Texas fishing license and any food or drinks you might want on the lake. Book your trip today and get ready to catch some fish!

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.
