What to Expect on the Water

Proven Techniques & Prime Spots
Lake Conroe's structure-rich environment offers multiple ways to catch bass, and Captain Matt knows them all. You'll work brush piles that hold schools of feeding bass, target boat docks where fish seek shade and ambush prey, and fish deep-water structures where larger bass often suspend. Techniques vary with the season and conditions - spring might call for spinnerbaits around spawning flats, while summer success often comes from deep-diving crankbaits or drop-shot rigs in 20-30 feet of water. Matt provides all tackle and adjusts his approach based on your skill level and interests. Beginners learn fundamental techniques like proper casting mechanics and lure presentation, while experienced anglers pick up advanced tactics specific to Conroe's unique characteristics. The boat is equipped with quality electronics to locate fish and structure, plus all the rods, reels, and lures needed for a productive day.
What Anglers Are Saying
"Captain Matt was warm, welcoming, professional, helpful, and tried his best to get us on fish. We went at the least ideal time of the year (August) and still managed to catch a couple beautiful bass. We'd like to try it again in Oct/Nov when the water isn't so hot. Would definitely recommend." - Kristin. "My dad and I had the perfect day with Captain Matt. He was a very respectful man that was very knowledgeable on lake Conroe for Large Mouth Bass fishing. I cannot recommend him enough we 100% will be booking with him again when we come back to Texas. As a group we caught about 30 Large mouth with our top 5 fish being a total bag of 25 pounds. You will not find a better more knowledgeable and more reasonable guide than Captain Matt." - Ean. "Matt is super knowledgeable and will definitely put you on fish. But above all else he's just a great guy to be around. Even if we hadnt caught any fish (and we caught a bunch) it wouldve been a great time out on the water with ole Captain Matt. Took a couple of dummies and put us on fish all day! Stop whatever youre doing and book a trip with one of the best dang guys out on the water." - Drake.
Largemouth Bass Breakdown
Largemouth Bass are the crown jewel of Lake Conroe, and for good reason. These aggressive predators can exceed 10 pounds in Conroe's fertile waters, with fish in the 3-6 pound range being common catches. Spring brings the spawn when bass move shallow and become highly territorial, making for exciting topwater action and sight fishing opportunities. Summer pushes them deeper, but they remain active around structure and in schools that can produce multiple fish quickly. Fall is prime time as bass feed heavily before winter, often chasing shad in shallow water where explosive strikes are the norm. Winter fishing can be slower but often produces the largest fish of the year as big females feed up for the upcoming spawn. What makes Largemouth Bass so popular with anglers is their fighting ability - they jump, run, and use every bit of cover available to shake the hook. Conroe's bass are particularly healthy due to the lake's abundant forage base of shad, crawfish, and bluegill. The satisfaction of feeling that first strong pull and seeing a chunky bass break the surface never gets old, whether it's your first or your hundredth fish.
