No crowded boat decks or fighting for the best spots – this is fishing the way it should be. The intimate setting lets Lee focus on putting you on fish while sharing the kind of local knowledge that separates the weekend warriors from the guys who consistently boat bass. You'll be working proven honey holes and structure that produce year after year, with a captain who's spent countless hours figuring out what makes these bass tick. The boat's rigged with quality gear from top to bottom, so whether you're throwing topwater at dawn or dragging deep structure in the afternoon heat, you've got the right tool for the job.

The captain knows when to switch from reaction baits to more subtle presentations, and he'll teach you to read the water like a pro. Whether conditions call for shallow water sight fishing or deep water structure work, the boat's equipped with electronics and tackle to handle it all. This isn't about one-trick fishing – you'll experience multiple approaches and learn why versatility wins more fishing days than any single technique ever could.
The bass fishing has been absolutely lights-out this season, with multiple species putting on a show that's got local anglers buzzing. We're seeing consistent action from early morning through late afternoon, with different species turning on as conditions change throughout the day. The variety keeps things interesting – just when you think you've got the pattern figured out, a different species steps up to keep you on your toes. Captain Lee's been dialing in the seasonal movements, and his clients are benefiting from that hard-earned local knowledge. The coolers don't lie, and they've been coming back full trip after trip. These aren't just numbers fish either – we're talking about quality bass that'll make you grin from ear to ear when they come to the net.
Largemouth Bass are the crown jewel of this fishery, and for good reason. These chunky green machines average 2-4 pounds with plenty of 5+ pound specimens keeping things interesting. Spring through early summer sees them shallow and aggressive, perfect for topwater action and sight fishing around beds. As water temperatures climb, they transition to deeper structure but remain catchable for anglers who know where to look. What makes largemouth special is their explosive strike and bulldog fight – they'll test your drag and jump clear out of the water trying to throw your hook. The satisfaction of landing a quality largemouth never gets old, especially when Captain Lee's putting you on fish that most anglers only dream about.
White Bass bring non-stop action when they're schooled up and feeding. These silver bullets typically run 1-2 pounds but make up for size with sheer numbers and aggressive feeding behavior. They're particularly active during spring spawning runs and again in fall when they chase baitfish to the surface. When you find a school of feeding whites, it's game on – sometimes you'll boat a dozen fish before they sound again. They hit hard, fight clean, and taste fantastic on the dinner table. Captain Lee knows the seasonal patterns and can usually put you on these schooling fish when they're in the area.
Smallmouth Bass are pound-for-pound the strongest fighters you'll encounter, and they're absolutely beautiful fish. These bronze-backed bruisers love rocky areas, points, and drop-offs where they ambush crawfish and baitfish. They average 1-3 pounds but fight like fish twice their size, with aerial displays that'll leave you breathless. Smallmouth are most active in cooler water, making spring and fall prime time for targeting them specifically. They're incredibly structure-oriented, so once you learn their preferred habitat, you can consistently find them year after year. The challenge and reward of catching smallmouth keeps serious bass anglers coming back for more.
Guadalupe Bass are a real treat for visiting anglers – they're actually Texas's state fish and you won't find them anywhere else in the world. These scrappy fighters prefer flowing water and rocky bottoms, typically running smaller than their cousins at 1-2 pounds, but they're absolutely gorgeous fish with distinct coloration. They're most active during cooler parts of the day and respond well to smaller presentations worked along current breaks and rocky structure. Catching a Guadalupe Bass adds something special to any fishing trip – it's like getting a bonus species that most anglers never get to experience. Captain Lee knows their preferred haunts and can usually put you on these unique bass when conditions are right.
This is the kind of fishing trip that sells itself – world-class bass fishing with a captain who knows how to put you on fish consistently. The two-angler limit means personalized attention and better fishing for everyone on board. With

Micropterus SalmoidesThe classic green fish that made bass fishing famous. These guys average 12-24 inches and pack serious attitude with that massive mouth extending past their eyes. They love shallow, weedy areas around cover like fallen trees, docks, and vegetation where they can ambush prey. Spring through fall are prime time, especially early morning and evening when they're feeding actively. What makes them special? That legendary fight - they'll jump, run, and test your drag like few others. Plus they're excellent table fare when taken from clean water. My go-to trick: throw something red near structure. Largemouth are drawn to red colors, so a red crankbait or plastic worm can trigger strikes when nothing else works. These fish put up such a battle that even a 2-pounder feels like a trophy.
Micropterus DolomieuThe bronze fighters that'll test every knot you tie. Running 18-20 inches on average, these dark green beauties with vertical stripes prefer clear, rocky waters. They love structure - boulders, ledges, and rocky points in moderate depths. Spring and fall offer the best action when they're in shallower water, though summer finds them deeper where it's cooler. What sets them apart? Pound for pound, they're the hardest fighting freshwater fish around. They'll jump repeatedly and make screaming runs that'll have you questioning your drag setting. Plus they're fantastic eating with firm, white meat. My secret weapon: early morning or late evening with a weightless soft plastic worked slowly over rocky cover. They can't resist that presentation, and once hooked, hang on tight for the ride of your life.
Morone ChrysopsThe silver rockets of freshwater. These aggressive schooling fish run 10-12 inches typically, though some push 18 inches and several pounds. Look for them in open water of bigger lakes and rivers, often chasing baitfish near the surface in spring and fall. They're visual feeders that travel in schools, so when you find one, expect more. Spring spawning runs are legendary - they'll hit almost anything you throw. What guests love most is the nonstop action and their excellent taste on the dinner table. They fight hard for their size and rarely come alone. Here's the key: when you spot birds diving or see fish busting the surface, get there fast with small spoons or jigs. Work them quickly through the school and you'll load the boat before they move on to the next spot.
Micropterus TreculiiTexas's own state fish and a real gem for catch-and-release enthusiasts. These smaller cousins of the largemouth typically run around 12 inches and a pound, with distinctive diamond markings on their olive-green backs. They're stream specialists, loving swift-flowing rivers with rocky cover, cypress trees, and heavy structure. Spring through early summer is prime time when they're most active. What makes them unique is their preference for moving water - they respond best to fast-moving baits in current. Guests love the technical challenge and the conservation story behind this native Texas species. Since it's catch-and-release only to protect the population, it's all about the experience. Pro tip: focus on swift current breaks near rocks or fallen timber. Use small crankbaits or spinners and work them quickly - in slow water they won't bite, but in good current they're aggressive.
