Lake Granbury's striped bass population has been turning heads across Texas, and Finn's Fishing Charter puts you right in the middle of the action. This isn't your average lake fishing trip – we're talking about a body of water that consistently produces trophy-class stripers, with the kind of fight that'll test your drag system and leave your arms burning. Captain Finn knows every ledge, point, and creek channel on this 8,700-acre lake, and he's built his reputation on putting clients on fish when conditions align. Some days you'll fill the cooler, others might be tougher, but that's the honest truth about fishing – and why those banner days feel so damn good.
Your 4-hour charter kicks off early, typically around sunrise when the stripers are most active and feeding in the shallows. We'll launch from one of Lake Granbury's public ramps and head straight to where Captain Finn's been marking fish. The lake sits on the Brazos River system, creating the perfect habitat for striped bass with its mix of deep channels, rocky points, and submerged timber. You'll spend most of your time covering water, either trolling along the main lake points or working live bait around structure. The boat accommodates up to 6 anglers, so bring your fishing buddies or make this a family outing. Captain Finn provides all the tackle and bait – you just need to show up ready to fish and maybe bring some snacks and drinks since meals aren't included on this trip.
Lake Granbury stripers respond to several proven techniques depending on the season and conditions. During cooler months, we'll focus on trolling umbrella rigs and Alabama rigs along the main lake points and creek channels where stripers school up chasing shad. When the fish are shallow, we'll switch to topwater plugs and swimbaits that drive these fish absolutely crazy. Live bait fishing with fresh shad is another go-to method, especially when we locate schools on the fish finder. Captain Finn runs quality spinning and baitcasting setups spooled with 15-20 lb test – strong enough to handle these powerful fish but light enough to feel every head shake. The boat is equipped with a quality fish finder and GPS, so we're not just blindly casting. We're targeting specific structure like submerged roadbeds, creek bends, and the deeper holes where stripers stage before their feeding runs.
Lake Granbury's striped bass are the real deal – hard-fighting, acrobatic fish that can easily reach 5-10 pounds, with trophy fish pushing 15+ pounds caught regularly. These aren't the sluggish bass you might find in some Texas lakes. Granbury's stripers are healthy, chrome-bright fish that feed heavily on the abundant shad population. They're most active during the cooler months from October through March, when water temperatures drop and oxygen levels increase. During summer, they move deeper but can still be caught early and late in the day. What makes striper fishing so addictive is their schooling behavior – when you find one, there are usually more nearby. They'll often feed on the surface, creating that classic "boiling" water that gets every angler's heart racing. The strike is violent, the initial run is blistering, and they'll jump multiple times trying to throw the hook. It's the kind of fishing that keeps you coming back, wondering if today's the day you'll hook into that fish of a lifetime.
Lake Granbury continues to produce some of the best striper fishing in North Texas, and Captain Finn's track record speaks for itself. Whether you're an experienced angler looking to target trophy fish or new to the sport wanting to learn proper techniques, this charter delivers the goods. The 4-hour window gives you enough time to work multiple areas and adapt to changing conditions without feeling rushed. Remember, fishing isn't guaranteed – that's what makes it fishing instead of catching – but Captain Finn's knowledge of Lake Granbury's patterns and seasonal movements puts you in the best position to succeed. Book your charter now and get ready to experience why striped bass fishing has such a devoted following. Bring your camera, because the fish we're targeting are definitely worth showing off.
