Half-day morning charter targets Catfish and White Bass speciesExperienced guides provide access to prime North Texas fishing spotsSmall group capacity of two guests ensures personalized fishing experience
Looking for a solid morning on the water without burning your whole day? Our 4-hour half day morning charter hits that sweet spot perfectly. We're talking prime fishing time when the sun's just coming up and the fish are actively feeding, before the heat kicks in and sends everything deeper. You'll be targeting two of North Texas's most reliable fighters - White Bass and Blue Catfish - in waters that consistently produce action. With room for just 2 anglers, this isn't some crowded party boat situation. It's your fishing trip, period.
We launch early when the water's still cool and the fish are hungry. North Texas lakes offer some seriously productive fishing, especially during those golden morning hours. You're not just casting blind here - our guides know exactly where these fish hang out and when they're most active. The beauty of a half day trip is we can hit multiple spots without feeling rushed. If the catfish aren't cooperating in one area, we're mobile enough to chase the white bass schools. The boats are equipped with everything you need - rods, tackle, bait, and all the gear to land whatever decides to bite. Just bring yourself, some water, and maybe a snack since meals aren't included on this one.
White bass fishing in North Texas is all about finding the schools and staying on them. These fish travel in groups and when you find one, there's usually a bunch more nearby. We'll be using a combination of live bait and lures, depending on what they're hitting that day. For the blue catfish, it's a different game entirely - we're talking about big baits in the right spots. These bruisers like cut bait, and we know the structure and depth changes where they like to hold. The key is reading the electronics and understanding how these fish use the lake. Our guides adjust techniques based on conditions, season, and what the fish are telling us through their behavior.
"Experience: 5.0/5 Boat 5.0/5 Crew 5.0/5 Overall Nice and Knowledgeable Captain VERIFIED Half Day Trip - Morning on July 18, 2023 Took my father and boys hoping for the kids to get their first catches. The fish weren't really biting much but Captain Jason did everything he could to make the trip a success, trying different areas and even extending the trip length. Thankfully each of the kids managed to reel one in, so the trip was a success." - Bryan
White Bass are the scrappy fighters that make North Texas fishing so addictive. These silver bullets typically run 1-3 pounds but fight way above their weight class. They're most active during spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate, but summer mornings can produce excellent action before the sun gets too high. What makes white bass special is their schooling behavior - when you find them feeding, it's often non-stop action with multiple hookups. They're aggressive feeders that will hit both live bait and artificial lures. The fight they put up on light tackle is pure fun, with multiple runs and head shakes that keep your drag singing.
Blue Catfish are the heavyweight champions of North Texas waters. These monsters can grow massive - we're talking 20, 30, even 40+ pound fish in the right spots. They're most active during warmer months and tend to feed heavily in the early morning hours, making this half day format perfect for targeting them. Blues are structure-oriented fish that like deep holes, creek channels, and drop-offs. When a big blue hits your bait, you'll know it immediately. The initial run is often powerful enough to make your reel scream, followed by a bulldogging fight that tests your tackle and your technique. Landing a quality blue catfish is something you'll remember long after the trip ends.
This half day morning charter delivers exactly what serious anglers want - productive fishing time without the full day commitment. With only 2 spots available, you're getting personalized attention from guides who know these waters inside and out. The morning bite is typically the most consistent, especially during warmer months when afternoon fishing can slow down significantly. Whether you're introducing someone new to fishing or just want to get your line wet without spending all day on the water, this trip format works perfectly. North Texas lakes are loaded with both white bass and blue catfish, and our track record speaks for itself. Book now and see why anglers keep coming back to fish these waters with us.

Perfect for up to 2 anglers who want to fish in style without sacrificing any of the action Lake Lewisville has to offer.
Ictalurus FurcatusBlue cats are the giants of North Texas waters, averaging 25-46 inches and capable of hitting 80+ pounds. These slate-blue bruisers prefer deeper holes and channels in our larger reservoirs, especially near creek mouths and rocky structures. Spring through fall gives you the best action when water temps are right. What makes them special is their raw power - they'll test your drag and your patience. The meat quality is outstanding, firm and mild. Blues are opportunistic feeders that'll take cut bait, chicken liver, or fresh herring. My go-to technique is dropping fresh-cut shad right to the bottom in 15-25 feet of water and letting it sit. Don't set the hook on the first tap - wait for that steady pull when they really commit to the bait.
Morone ChrysopsAlso called sand bass, these silvery fighters are the fifth most popular game fish among Texas anglers for good reason. Running 10-12 inches on average, white bass are aggressive schooling fish that put up a solid fight once hooked. You'll find them in our deeper reservoir waters and river channels, especially during spring and fall when they're most active. They're visual feeders that love chasing baitfish, making them perfect targets for small jigs and spinners. The meat is excellent eating - firm and flaky when prepared right. Here's a local trick: when you spot one school feeding on the surface, work small white or black marabou jigs just underneath them. Once you find a school, you can often catch several before they move on.
