Had a great time with James on his bass fishing trip! The boat was top-notch, providing a comfortable and smooth experience on the water. James shared some excellent advice that really helped us make the most of our time. We tried out a variety of baits, and it paid off—we caught some nice fish! Highly recommend this trip for anyone looking to enjoy a day of fishing with a knowledgeable guide.

We had a great day fishing Lake Bastrop with Captain James. He was very knowledgeable about the lake conditions and offered positive instructions and tips. We are looking forward to taking another trip with him on a different lake.
