About Your Trip

Bass fishing is a popular activity in Austin, with many anglers from all over the country to enjoy the excellent largemouth bass fishing. Hop on board with Captain Jake for an exciting day on Town Lake in the Shadow of the Austin Skyline.

The lake with its numerous underwater structures provides ample opportunity for successful bass fishing trips. In addition, the flooded vegetation around the lake creates ideal conditions for largemouth bass to spawn and feed. Anglers who join Captain Jake are bound to catch some monster Largemouth.

Captain Jake can accommodate 3 people on these 4-hour (half-day) and 8-hour (full-day) adventures. During this trip, you will learn the latest and most effective techniques and how to adapt your presentation to your environment. No fishing experience is required! Anglers of all ages and skill levels are welcome. Heavy-duty spinning or baitcasting gear is often necessary in order to handle the largemouth bass that are found in the lake.

Anglers who Join Captain Jake on his beautiful bass boat will be well on their way to having a successful Bass fishing trip. All equipment will be provided including high-quality fishing rods and a variety of lures. Also, life jackets are provided for all guests during the trip and sharp hooks will be handled by your guide.

Took my buddy and Tanzania-based guide Dom out with Jake and we had a blast! Jake put us on a number of nice fish. Highlight of the trip was Jake marking a fish with his live scope and Dom and I watching on the livescope as it chased Dom's swimbait and gulped it up! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

Had a super time with Jake. Took my kiddo and his best friend out for an afternoon on Lady Bird Lake. Jake is great with youngsters and took great joy when they had their first catch. Awesome guy, awesome boat, and an awesome experience. This is my second time out with Jake and I’ll be booking with him again soon!

I will probably make another trip with my brothers in the future with Jake for another great day! I highly recommend Jake to anglers of any experience who want to get on some nice fish and just have a great time! Thanks again for a great time, Jake! Hopefully we’ll get back out there with you again!

Jake is great! We booked a 4hr bass fishing trip on Lake Travis after reading his Captain Experiences page. As someone who has never done bass fishing, I needed to learn the basics. Jake was super patient showing us the ropes. We learned how to reel in, set hooks, cast and dislodge stuck lures. We also caught nearly 10 bass including a couple of Guadeloupe bass. I would certainly book again.

We really enjoyed our trip with Jake. It was only supposed to be a half day (4 hours) but it ended up being a 5.5 hour trip! Jake really has a passion for fishing and that is obvious and makes the experience so great. It was just what we needed! We will definitely go with Jake again!
