4-hour afternoon trips targeting Bass and Catfish seasonally24' Bayliner accommodates 4 anglers with toilet and ACAll rods, reels, and tackle provided for complete experience
There's nothing quite like spending an afternoon on Texas waters, and this 4-hour seasonal fishing charter delivers exactly what serious anglers and families are looking for. You'll be fishing from a spacious 24' Bayliner that's built for comfort and success, with room for up to 4 anglers to spread out and work the water properly. The boat comes equipped with AC for those hot Texas afternoons, a clean restroom, and an ice box to keep your catch fresh. We provide all the rods, reels, and terminal tackle you'll need, so you can focus on what matters most – getting those fish in the boat.
This afternoon charter is perfectly timed to take advantage of prime feeding windows when fish are most active. Depending on the season and weather conditions, we'll target everything from aggressive bass to heavyweight catfish using proven techniques that work in Texas lakes. The 4-hour timeframe gives us plenty of opportunity to move between productive spots and adjust our approach based on what the fish are telling us. You'll experience the full range of fishing methods – from precise jigging over structure to covering water with trolling runs. The beauty of this trip is its flexibility; we read the conditions and the fish behavior, then adapt our strategy to put you on the best action possible. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to dial in new techniques or a family wanting to create lasting memories, this charter strikes the perfect balance between instruction and hands-on fishing time.
We'll deploy a variety of proven methods throughout the trip, each chosen specifically for the species we're targeting and current conditions. Bottom fishing is incredibly effective for channel and blue catfish, especially around deeper structure where these fish like to hold. We'll set up with quality circle hooks and fresh bait, letting the fish hook themselves as they commit to the offering. Trolling allows us to cover vast amounts of water efficiently, particularly effective for locating schools of white bass and striped bass that are constantly on the move. Drift fishing comes into play when we find active fish but need to present baits naturally with the current. Jigging is deadly around vertical structure – we'll work spoons and jigs through the water column to trigger strikes from suspended fish. Spinning with lures gives us the versatility to target bass holding in cover, casting accurately to specific spots where experience tells us fish should be. Each technique requires different rod setups and approaches, but don't worry about the gear – we've got everything dialed in and ready to go.
"We had an amazing Father's Day fishing trip with Captain and his helper Carlos! They were very friendly with our two kids and did a great job guiding and helping us catch lot of fishes. We ended up catching 12 cat fishes and one monster 15 pound alligator gar fish! It was an amazing experience and we highly recommend captain and his fishing boat to anyone looking to have great time fishing in Lewisville lake." - August
White bass are some of the most fun fish you'll encounter on Texas waters, and they're renowned for their schooling behavior and aggressive strikes. These silvery fighters typically run 1-3 pounds and are absolute dynamite on light tackle. They're most active during spring and fall months when water temperatures are moderate, often feeding in large schools that create surface disturbances you can see from a distance. When you find a school of whites, the action can be fast and furious with multiple hookups common. They love small jigs, spoons, and live bait, making them perfect for anglers of all skill levels.
Striped bass represent the heavyweight division of our target species, with fish ranging from 5-20 pounds providing serious battles on rod and reel. These lake-run stripers are incredibly strong and make blistering runs that test your drag system and fighting technique. Peak seasons are typically spring and fall when they're actively feeding in preparation for spawning or winter. Stripers are structure-oriented fish that often suspend over deep water, making them challenging but rewarding targets. They respond well to large live baits, heavy jigs, and trolled lures, and landing a good striper is a memory that lasts a lifetime.
Channel catfish are the bread and butter of Texas fishing, providing consistent action and excellent table fare. These whiskered fighters typically range from 2-8 pounds, with occasional larger specimens that really put a bend in your rod. Channels are most active during warmer months and feed heavily during low-light periods, making them perfect for afternoon and evening fishing. They're bottom-oriented fish that respond to a variety of baits including cut bait, live bait, and prepared baits. Channel cats are perfect for families and beginning anglers because they're forgiving to catch and fight hard enough to be exciting.
Blue catfish are the true giants of the catfish family, with specimens regularly exceeding 20 pounds and some monsters pushing 40 pounds or more. These powerful fish are ambush predators that prefer deeper waters and substantial structure. Blues are most active during cooler months but can be caught year-round with the right techniques. They're incredibly strong fighters that make long, powerful runs and test every component of your tackle. Landing a trophy blue cat is considered the pinnacle achievement for many catfish anglers, and these fish provide some of the best eating you'll find in freshwater.
This 4-hour afternoon charter represents outstanding value for serious fishing action in Texas waters. With all gear included, a comfortable boat, and expert guidance, you're set up for success from the moment you step aboard. The seasonal timing means we're always fishing during peak periods when target species are most active and cooperative. Whether you're planning a family outing, a guys' trip, or want to sharpen your fishing skills, this charter delivers the goods. The 4-angler capacity keeps groups intimate and ensures everyone gets plenty of hands-on time with the rods. Don't wait

The onboard kitchen and comfortable seating make this perfect for afternoon trips when the fish are active and the company is good.
Ictalurus FurcatusBlue cats are the giants of the catfish world, with most catches running 15-30 pounds and some monsters pushing 50-plus. These slate-blue bruisers prefer deeper holes and channels in rivers and large reservoirs, especially near creek mouths and tidal areas. Summer and fall produce the best fishing when they're actively feeding before winter. Anglers target them for the sheer size and power - they're arguably the strongest freshwater fish pound-for-pound in Texas. Plus, the meat quality on smaller blues is top-notch. They're opportunistic feeders that'll eat just about anything, from cut bait to live shad. My best advice: use fresh-cut herring or shad on the bottom near deep structure, and be patient. Let them take the bait fully before setting - these fish have incredibly tough mouths and you need a solid hookset.
Ictalurus PunctatusChannel cats are reliable fighters that average 2-8 pounds, though 20-pounders aren't uncommon in Texas waters. These whisker-faced bottom dwellers love structure like fallen trees, creek channels, and rocky areas in 8-20 feet of water. They bite best during warmer months, especially at night when they're most active. What folks love about channel cats is they're always willing to bite, fight hard for their size, and make outstanding table fare when prepared right. They use those barbels to taste everything, so they'll find your bait even in murky water. Here's my secret: fresh chicken liver on a treble hook fished right on bottom near cover. Keep your bait still and give them time to really take it before setting the hook. Their mouths are tough, so don't be gentle when you set it.
Morone SaxatilisStripers are the heavyweights of Texas waters, commonly running 20-40 pounds with some reaching much larger. These silver fish with distinctive black stripes are structure-oriented, hanging around drop-offs, points, and submerged timber in deeper water. They're year-round targets, but spring and fall migrations make for the hottest action. What draws folks to them is the combination of size, fight, and table fare - they're powerful swimmers that'll test your drag and make excellent eating. These fish follow baitfish schools and prefer moving water with good current breaks. My go-to tip is to fish live herring or large soft plastics near creek channels at dawn and dusk. When the water temp hits that 60-68 degree sweet spot, they really turn on and become much more aggressive feeders.
Morone ChrysopsWhite Bass are scrappy fighters that typically run 10-12 inches and weigh up to a few pounds, though bigger ones can hit 18 inches. These silvery fish with dark horizontal stripes love hanging around structure in reservoirs and larger rivers. They're schooling fish, so when you find one, there's usually more nearby. Spring through early summer is prime time when they're moving shallow to spawn. What makes them popular is their aggressive nature - they'll hit spinners, small jigs, and live minnows with authority. Plus, they're some of the best eating fish around with sweet, flaky meat. Here's a tip: when you see birds diving or baitfish jumping, get over there fast. White bass often push shad to the surface while feeding, creating a feeding frenzy that's hard to miss.
