Fourhour afternoon trips targeting Bass and Catfish seasonally24foot Bayliner accommodates up to four anglers comfortablyAll fishing equipment and tackle provided by experienced guides
Looking for a solid afternoon on the water without the commitment of a full-day trip? Our 4-hour seasonal PM charter hits that sweet spot perfectly. You'll fish the prime evening hours when bass are feeding and catfish are starting to move, all while enjoying the comfort of our spacious 24' Bayliner. This isn't some cramped boat where you're bumping elbows – we've got room for up to 4 anglers, plus amenities like AC, a head, and an ice box to keep your drinks cold and your catch fresh.
Our afternoon trips are all about adapting to what's biting and when. Texas lakes change with the seasons, and we adjust our approach accordingly. During the warmer months, we'll target deeper structure where bass and catfish congregate to escape the heat. Come cooler weather, we move shallow where the action picks up as temperatures drop. The beauty of our 4-hour window is that it covers those productive late afternoon and early evening hours when fish are most active. Your trip includes all the gear you need – rods, reels, and terminal tackle are covered, so you can focus on fishing instead of worrying about whether you brought the right setup.
Depending on what we're after and where we find them, we'll employ several proven methods to put fish in the boat. Bottom fishing is our go-to for catfish, especially when they're holding in deeper channels or around submerged structure. We'll set you up with circle hooks and the right bait to maximize your hookups. For bass, we mix it up between trolling along drop-offs, drift fishing over productive areas, and targeted jigging when we mark fish on the electronics. Spinning tackle comes into play when we need finesse presentations or when the fish are being picky. Each technique has its place, and part of what makes these trips fun is learning when and why to use each method.
"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 cooperative fish in Texas waters, and they're absolute blast to catch on light tackle. These schooling fish typically run 1-3 pounds and are known for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights. Spring and fall are prime time when they're chasing shad in open water, but summer evenings can produce excellent action too. What makes white bass so popular with our guests is their willingness to bite – when you find a school, you can often catch them one after another until your arms get tired.
Striped Bass are the heavyweights of our target species, with fish ranging from 5-20+ pounds not uncommon. These powerful fighters will test your drag and give you a workout you won't forget. Stripers are most active during low-light periods, making our afternoon trips perfect timing as we fish into the evening hours. They're structure-oriented fish, often found around points, humps, and creek channels. The key to consistent striper success is finding the bait schools they're feeding on – when you locate the shad, the stripers won't be far behind.
Channel Catfish are arguably the most reliable species we target, with steady action possible year-round. These fish typically run 2-8 pounds in our area, though bigger ones certainly swim in our waters. Channels are excellent eating and fight surprisingly hard for a catfish. They're most active during warmer months but can be caught consistently through fall and into winter. What guests love about channel cats is their dependability – even when other species aren't cooperating, we can usually find willing catfish to keep the action going.
Blue Catfish are the true giants of the catfish world, with specimens over 20 pounds caught regularly in Texas waters. These fish can live for decades and grow to impressive sizes, making them a favorite target for anglers looking for that trophy photo. Blues prefer deeper water and stronger current than their channel cat cousins, often holding in main river channels and near dams. Summer and early fall produce some of the best blue cat fishing, when these fish are most active and feeding heavily to prepare for cooler months ahead.
Our 4-hour seasonal PM trips offer the perfect balance of quality fishing time and schedule flexibility.

The enclosed cabin provides shelter from Texas heat while the onboard kitchen and bed make longer trips comfortable. GPS navigation and VHF radio keep you connected while our advanced fish finder locates your targets. All rods, reels, and tackle are included, so just bring your fishing license and get ready for productive afternoon fishing using techniques from jigging to spinning based on seasonal patterns and daily conditions.
Ictalurus FurcatusBlues are the monsters of the catfish world, averaging 25-40 pounds with giants pushing 80+ pounds. These slate-blue bruisers patrol deep holes, channel bends, and areas where creeks meet main lakes. They're active year-round but summer produces the most consistent action. What gets anglers fired up is their sheer size and power - hooking into a big blue is like wrestling a truck tire. They're also excellent eating despite their intimidating appearance. These opportunistic feeders will take fresh-cut bait, especially herring, sardines, or shad. Unlike their smaller cousins, blues will chase bait up in the water column thanks to their slight underbite. Pro tip: use heavy tackle and fresh-cut bait on the bottom near deep structure. Let it sit still - blues are scavengers that prefer easy meals, so a motionless bait works better than something you're constantly moving around.
Ictalurus PunctatusChannel cats are reliable fighters that typically run 2-10 pounds, though 20-pounders show up occasionally. These whisker-faced bottom dwellers love muddy or rocky bottoms near structure like fallen trees, ledges, and creek mouths. Summer heat brings the best action since they're more active in warm water. Folks enjoy targeting them because they're willing biters, put up a solid scrap, and make outstanding eating - mild, flaky white meat that's perfect fried or grilled. They'll hit everything from nightcrawlers to stink baits, but fresh-cut shad or chicken liver works great. Here's something most people don't know: those "whiskers" are loaded with taste buds, so they can smell your bait from way off. Keep your bait on the bottom and be patient - they'll often mouth it before committing, so wait for that solid pull before setting the hook.
Morone SaxatilisStripers are the heavyweights here, averaging 20-40 pounds but capable of much more. These silver fish with black horizontal stripes love structure - drop-offs, points, and areas with current flow. They're catchable year-round, but spring and fall migrations offer the hottest action when they're feeding aggressively. What draws anglers is their powerful runs and bulldogging fights that'll test your gear. Plus, they're fantastic table fare with firm, sweet meat. These fish are opportunistic feeders that'll hit live bait like herring or sardines, but they can be picky about presentation. My go-to tip: fish around dawn and dusk when they're most active, and don't be afraid to go big with your bait. A fresh-cut baitfish on the bottom near structure will often outproduce smaller offerings when targeting trophy-sized fish.
Morone ChrysopsWhite bass are scrappy fighters that run 10-12 inches on average, though some push 18 inches and 7 pounds. These silvery fish with dark horizontal stripes love schooling in open water and around structure like creek channels and points. Spring through fall gives you the best action, especially during their spawning runs when they're aggressive and hungry. They hit small jigs, spoons, and live minnows hard. What makes them popular is their willingness to bite, decent fight for their size, and they're excellent eating - sweet, flaky meat that's hard to beat. Here's a tip: when you find one white bass, stick around that spot because they travel in schools. Once you locate the school, you can often catch your limit quickly using 1/8 ounce white or chartreuse jigs worked vertically through the water column.
