There's something special about hitting San Antonio's lakes when the bass are active, and that's exactly what you'll get with C&C Guide Service. Whether you've got four hours to spare or want to make a full day of it, this trip puts you right where the largemouth bass live. Our modern bass boat is set up with everything you need – from the latest fish finders to comfortable seating that won't leave you sore after a long day casting. We fish some of the most productive waters around San Antonio, spots where big bass hang out year-round. No matter if you're brand new to bass fishing or you've been chasing them for decades, we'll match the approach to what gets you excited about being on the water.
When you step aboard our fully equipped bass boat, you're getting more than just a ride to the fishing spots. We've got top-of-the-line electronics to locate structure and schools of fish, plus all the rods, reels, and tackle you'll need for a successful day. The boat's designed for serious bass fishing – low gunwales for easy casting, plenty of deck space to move around, and a quiet trolling motor that won't spook the fish. We'll start early when possible to take advantage of those prime feeding times, but we're flexible based on what's working best that week. The lakes around San Antonio offer diverse structure – submerged timber, rocky points, grass beds, and creek channels that bass love to patrol. You'll spend your time moving between proven spots, learning to read the water and understanding why bass position themselves where they do. Our approach changes with the conditions, but you can count on plenty of casting time and hands-on coaching throughout the trip.
We fish both artificial lures and live bait depending on what's producing and what you want to learn. For artificial presentations, we might throw everything from topwater plugs at dawn to deep-diving crankbaits when fish are holding on structure. Texas-rigged soft plastics are always in play – they're deadly around the cover that San Antonio bass love. When the bite gets tough, we'll switch to finesse tactics like drop-shotting or shaky heads that can tempt even pressured fish. If you prefer live bait, we'll rig up with wild shiners or crawfish that drive bass crazy. The beauty of these Texas lakes is the variety – you might catch fish on a buzzbait one hour and a deep Carolina rig the next. We carry a full arsenal of tackle and we'll teach you when and why to use each technique. Whether you're learning your first Texas rig or perfecting your topwater presentation, we'll work at your pace and make sure you understand the fundamentals that make bass fishing so addictive.
Largemouth bass are the stars of the show in San Antonio's lakes, and for good reason. These fish are aggressive predators that can grow impressive in Texas waters – we regularly see fish in the 3-5 pound range, with bigger ones always possible. Spring is prime time when bass move shallow to spawn, making them easier to target and more willing to hit lures. Summer finds them relating to deeper structure during the day, but early morning and evening can produce explosive topwater action. Fall brings some of the year's best fishing as bass feed heavily before winter, often schooling up and creating fantastic action. Winter bass fishing requires more patience and finesse, but the fish are there and often larger on average. What makes largemouth so popular is their fighting ability – they'll jump, run, and use every trick to throw your hook. They're also excellent to eat if you want to keep a few for the table, though catch and release keeps these fisheries strong. San Antonio's lakes have excellent bass genetics, meaning you're always in for a chance at a personal best. These fish have seen plenty of lures, so they can be challenging, but when you figure out the pattern, the action can be fast and furious.
This bass fishing experience delivers exactly what serious anglers want – productive fishing, expert guidance, and the chance to improve your skills while catching fish. You'll leave with a better understanding of bass behavior, new techniques in your arsenal, and hopefully some great photos of your catches.
