When you're looking for a serious day on the water, this 8-hour charter fishing trip delivers everything you need for a memorable Lake Lewisville experience. You'll fish from a roomy 24-foot boat with space for up to 6 anglers, though this particular trip is perfect for a more intimate group of 2. We handle all the details so you can focus on what matters most – landing fish and making memories with your fishing partner.
Your morning starts early when the fish are most active and the lake is calm. We'll meet at the marina before sunrise, get your gear sorted, and head out to the prime fishing spots on Lake Lewisville. The 8-hour format gives us plenty of time to work different areas of the lake, adjust our tactics based on what the fish are doing, and really dial in the bite. This isn't a rushed trip – we've got all day to find where the action is happening. You'll fish from a stable 24-foot boat that's equipped with everything from rod holders to a fish finder, plus comfortable seating so you can settle in for those longer fights with bigger fish. The all-inclusive setup means your rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice are all provided. We'll even clean your catch at the end of the day so you can take home fillets ready for the dinner table.
Lake Lewisville fishing means adapting to what the conditions and fish activity tell us. We'll start with live bait presentations for the catfish, typically using cut shad or prepared baits fished on the bottom in deeper channels and creek bends where blue cats like to hold. For the white bass and stripers, we'll switch between artificial lures and live bait depending on whether we find them schooling on the surface or suspended in deeper water. When the whites are busting shad on top, we'll throw small spoons, slabs, or soft plastics to match the baitfish size. The stripers often require a bit more finesse – we might troll umbrella rigs or work live shad around structure like submerged timber or creek channels. All the tackle is provided, from heavy catfish rigs to lighter spinning gear for the white bass action. If you're new to any of these techniques, no worries – part of the experience includes hands-on instruction so you'll learn proper casting, bait presentation, and fish fighting techniques that'll serve you well on future trips.

Blue catfish are the heavyweight champions of Lake Lewisville, and they're what many anglers dream about when they book this trip. These monsters can push 30-40 pounds or more, and they fight like freight trains once you hook them. Blues prefer deeper water and structure – think main lake points, creek channels, and areas with good current flow. They're most active in the early morning and evening hours, which is why our morning start time is perfect for targeting them. The fight is what gets everyone excited – these fish will test your drag system and your arms. Spring through fall offers the best blue cat action, with summer producing some of the biggest fish as they feed heavily in the warming water.
White bass provide fast action and are perfect for anglers who love to catch numbers. These scrappy fighters travel in schools, so when you find one, you'll usually find many more. They typically run 1-3 pounds but make up for their size with aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights. Whites love to chase shad in open water, and during spring and fall, they'll often push baitfish to the surface where you can see the feeding activity. The key is staying mobile and following the schools as they move around the lake. What makes white bass special is their willingness to hit both live bait and artificials, giving you multiple ways to target them throughout the day.
Striped bass are the prize catch that combines size with fight – they can reach 10-20 pounds or larger and provide some of the most exciting battles you'll experience on Lake Lewisville. These fish are structure-oriented and often relate to creek channels, submerged timber, and main lake points. They're known for their powerful runs and head-shaking fights that'll keep your drag singing. Stripers can be particular about presentation, sometimes preferring live bait over artificials or vice versa. The best action typically happens during spring and fall when they're more active in shallower water, but summer fishing can be productive if you target them in deeper, cooler areas during the morning hours.
This 8-hour charter fishing experience gives you the time and expert guidance needed to make the most of Lake Lewisville's diverse fishery. With all gear included, professional instruction, and fish cleaning services, you'll have everything covered from start to finish. Whether you're after that trophy blue catfish, want to experience the fast action of white bass schools, or hope to tangle with a big striper, this trip puts you in position for success. The intimate 2-person capacity means personalized attention and the flexibility to adjust tactics based on what you and your fishing partner want to target. Book your spot now and get ready for a day on the water that'll have you planning your next trip before this one ends.

Ictalurus FurcatusThese slate-blue giants are Texas's heavyweight champions, averaging 25-46 inches and pushing 80+ pounds. Blue cats love deep holes and channels near muddy bottoms, especially where tidal creeks meet main rivers. They're opportunistic feeders that'll hit everything from cut herring to chicken liver. Spring through fall gives you the best action when they're most active. What makes them special? They fight like freight trains and taste great on the table. Here's the local secret: let your bait sit still on the bottom - these cats are scavengers, not chasers. Fresh cut bait with blood in the water draws them in fast. Bring heavy gear and leather gloves because they're slimy fighters that don't give up easy.
Morone SaxatilisStriped bass are the ultimate game fish - powerful swimmers that average 20-40 pounds with those classic dark stripes down their silver sides. They love structure like reefs, drop-offs, and shoreline cover, staying cool near the surface during dawn and dusk. Spring and fall migrations bring the best fishing when they're feeding heavily on baitfish. What makes them special is that hard fight plus excellent table fare - sweet, meaty flesh that's perfect grilled. They're picky eaters, so live bait like herring, mackerel, or eels works best. Local tip: watch for diving birds or baitfish activity on the surface. Cast live bait or lures right into the chaos - hungry stripers are usually feeding below those birds.
Morone ChrysopsWhite bass are scrappy silver fighters that run 10-12 inches, though some push 18. They school up in big rivers, reservoirs, and creeks, often near structure or drop-offs. Spring spawning runs from March to May offer the hottest action, but they bite year-round. These aggressive feeders love minnows, worms, and small jigs - especially 1/8 ounce marabou in black or white. What guests love most is the non-stop action when you find a school, plus they're excellent eating with sweet, flaky meat. My go-to trick: when you spot diving birds or surface action, get small spoons or spinners working fast along the top. They'll attack anything moving through a feeding school. Night fishing with live bait near the bottom works great too.
