About Your Trip

Get ready for an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Corbett as you chase down slabs and whisker fish on the legendary Sam Rayburn Reservoir! Whether you're after a cooler full of Crappie or some rod-bending Catfish action, Captain Corbett’s fully guided trips are tailored for a relaxing, fun-filled, and productive day on East Texas’ premier fishery.

Crappie trips are run from a spacious and comfortable pontoon boat—perfect for groups and families—complete with plenty
of shade to keep things cool on those sunny Texas afternoons. Captain Corbett knows the brush piles, submerged timber, and deep ledges where the Crappie like to stack up, and he’ll put you right on the fish using tried-and-true techniques like vertical jigging and live bait fishing. These trips are laid-back but action-packed, making them ideal for anglers of all ages and experience levels.

If Catfish are more your style, Captain Corbett also offers dedicated trips to target the hard-fighting Blue and Channel Cats that thrive in Sam Rayburn’s deep waters and muddy flats. Whether you're bottom fishing with cut bait or drifting over productive areas, you can expect steady bites and a chance at some true East Texas giants.

All tackle can be provided upon request, so you can just show up and fish—Captain Corbett has you covered. He’ll also clean and bag your catch at the end of the day for a small fee, so all you have to do is fire up the fryer when you get home. And if you're traveling in, Captain Corbett is happy to help with local lodging recommendations to make your trip as smooth as possible from start to finish.

So grab your cooler, bring your favorite snacks, and let Captain Corbett show you why Sam Rayburn is one of the best freshwater fishing spots in the country. Whether you're hunting Crappie or chasing Catfish, this is East Texas fishing at its finest!
