Trophy catfish targeting 25+ pound monsters with guaranteeProfessional equipment including Penn reels and Garmin electronicsMaximum 4 anglers on guided 5hour lake adventure
Looking for the ultimate catfish challenge in Texas waters? This ain't your typical weekend fishing trip. We're talking about a serious 5-hour guided hunt for monster catfish that'll test your drag and make your buddies jealous. With 9 drift and troll setups running simultaneously, we're maximizing every minute on the water to put you on trophy-class cats that most anglers only dream about. Early morning launch means we're fishing prime time when these giants are actively feeding, and with our guarantee of double-digit 25+ pounders or you get another trip free, we're putting our reputation on the line every time we push off the dock.
This is a top-rated catfishing experience designed for anglers who want to tangle with Texas-sized fish. We launch early to catch that magic hour when big cats are cruising shallow flats and channel edges looking for an easy meal. You'll need to grab your Texas fishing license beforehand, plus bring drinks and snacks to keep your energy up during this 5-hour battle. The boat accommodates up to 4 anglers total with pricing for 2 included, and kids are absolutely welcome – there's nothing like watching a young angler's face when they hook into their first 25-pounder. Pro anglers looking for a fun day away from tournament pressure love this trip because it's all about the experience and putting serious fish in the boat. We're not messing around with dink cats here; we're specifically targeting double-digit trophy fish that'll bend your rod and test your skills.
We run nothing but Pro Angler tackle paired with Penn reels that can handle the sustained runs these big cats are famous for. The boat's equipped with a Garmin Solix 15 with side imaging, which is a game-changer for locating structure and baitfish that draw trophy cats. We'll be running multiple drift and troll patterns depending on conditions, using fresh gizzard shad, sunfish, and carp for bait – the holy trinity of catfish candy. These baits get cut and rigged specifically for big fish, not the tiny stuff you'd use for eating-size cats. The drift technique lets us cover water while keeping baits in the strike zone longer, while trolling helps us locate active schools. Both day and night catfishing are available, with night trips often producing the biggest fish since mature cats feel more comfortable feeding in darkness. Before you book, definitely contact the guide to check current conditions – these fish have moods just like any other species, and timing can make all the difference between a good trip and a legendary one.
"I booked this trip for my sons birthday months ago. I had to reschedule dur to my sons arm surgery, which was kind of yall to accomodate. When i rescheduled it for this weeked it wad mentioned that this would be a better weekend since its better fishing when it is colder. This wad about 2 week ago. I get a text an hour before it is time to fish telling me it will not be possible to get the trophy fish because it isnt cold enough. And i messed up while booking and should have called before to see when the fish bite. I have a couple issues with this. #1 we have been in contact and rescheduled. If it was known then that the weather wasnt going to be cold enough, as i was told in text it needs to be 50-60 degrees out, why was the suggestion not madr to postpone it even further? and I have gone through the website as it is and went through the steps one would take to book the monster catfishing trip step by step and nowhere does it say to call before scheduling. It also mentions that if you book this trip and dont get a monster catfish you get a free trip. We booked a monster trip and was not told until 1 hour before it was time to leave that they wouldnt be able to catch what we paid for. And the best you can do is 100$ off another trip. They caught like 4 2 lb cat fish and alot of small ones. For more thab $300 that is absolutely crazy. And then to blame it on the customer when therr is nowhere on this site that it says to call and verify weather and how the fish are biting beforr you book the monster trip. It doesnt say it about any trip. My son waited for months for this as a big gift for his 15th birthday and it was very dissapointing for him to have one expection and have it changed an hour before he leaves on the boat. The worst customer service ive ever seen and we have bern on money fishing carters before. Someone obviously dropped the ball. I dont know who or how but it rrally was unnacceptable and ruined his fishing trip." - Taylor
"You might see a previous comment of mine on here and i would like to say that through my frustrations and slight rudeness the captain contacted me and was able to clear some things up for me that made the sitauation make more sense than lack of communucation. He camnot see the booking info until the day before the charter, so it is suggested to call and talk to him about what is best to book on the list of options before booking. I didnt see and that was my fault. He has worked with me and made it right and i really appreciate it. I was dead wrong on my customer service comments, it is 10/10." - Taylor
Channel Catfish are the workhorses of Texas waters and the most likely species you'll encounter on this trip. These fish grow big in the Lone Star State, with 20-30 pound specimens not uncommon in prime waters. Channels are active year-round but really turn on during cooler months when water temperatures drop into that 50-60 degree sweet spot. They're aggressive feeders with excellent eyesight and an incredible sense of smell, which is why fresh cut bait works so
Our fully-equipped motorboat cuts through Texas waters with serious catfishing gear designed for landing monster fish. The wireless trolling motor keeps things quiet when positioning over prime spots, while the Garmin fish finder pinpoints where those trophy cats are holding. GPS navigation gets you to the hottest holes, and the VHF radio keeps you connected on the water. Radar helps during early morning trips when visibility drops. The multimedia system keeps everyone entertained between strikes. With 9 drift setups ready to deploy and Penn reels that can handle 25+ pound bruisers, this boat is built for serious catfish hunters. Room for up to 3 anglers means plenty of space to work multiple rods without getting tangled up. The captain runs proven techniques using fresh gizzard shad and sunfish to target double-digit cats lurking in deep structures.
Ictalurus FurcatusBlue cats are the giants of our catfish world - these bruisers regularly hit 25+ pounds and can top 50. They're built like tanks with that distinctive slate-blue coloring and squared-off anal fin. You'll find them in deeper river channels and lake basins where they cruise as opportunistic predators. Spring through fall gives you the best action when water temps warm up. What guests love is the raw power - blues fight harder and longer than other catfish species. Fresh cut shad or carp works magic on these fish. Pro tip: let your bait hit bottom in 15-25 feet of water near drop-offs, then wait. Blues take their time studying bait, so patience pays off big time.
Ictalurus PunctatusChannel cats are solid fighters that'll give you a real workout. These whisker-faced fish typically run 2-5 pounds, but we're targeting the monsters here - 10+ pounders that'll test your gear. They love deeper holes and structure in our Texas waters, especially during summer months when they're most active. What makes them special is their incredible sense of taste - they've got taste buds covering their entire body. Channel cats aren't picky eaters, but fresh cut bait works best. My go-to trick? Use chicken liver or stink bait fished right on the bottom near submerged timber. They bite harder at night when they feel safer moving into shallow feeding areas.
Pylodictis OlivarisFlatheads are the ultimate predators - big, mean, and they only want live bait. These yellow-brown cats with their signature flat heads can push 40+ pounds and fight like nothing else in freshwater. They lurk in deep holes, under cover, and around submerged timber waiting to ambush prey. Summer nights are prime time when they move shallow to hunt. Guests target them for the incredible fight and superior table fare - flathead meat beats any other catfish hands down. Live bluegill or small carp hooked through the back works best. Here's my secret: fish live bait right at the edge of deep timber piles just before dark. Keep that bait moving naturally and hold on tight.
