Private halfday bass fishing on secluded Hobson lakeExpert guide instruction for all skill levels aboard Bass TrackerMorning or afternoon sessions limited to two guests maximum
Looking for a top-rated fishing adventure that won't eat up your whole day? Guide Breiten Ramsey has you covered with his private half-day bass and panfish trips on one of Hobson's best-kept fishing secrets. This isn't your typical crowded lake experience - you'll be working a secluded water where the fish haven't seen every lure in the tackle box. Whether you're bringing the kids for their first real fishing trip or you're a seasoned angler wanting to dial in your technique, Breiten keeps it personal with just two guests max. Pick your poison - early morning bite at 6:30 AM when the bass are active, or afternoon action starting at 3:30 PM when the panfish start feeding heavy.
You'll be fishing from Breiten's 2014 18' Bass Tracker - a solid platform that's built for serious angling but comfortable enough for the whole family. This lake sees minimal pressure, which means the fish are hungry and willing to play. The secluded setting gives you that peaceful fishing vibe without the weekend warrior crowd, but don't mistake quiet for boring - this water holds some quality bass and plenty of panfish to keep your rod bent. Breiten knows every structure, drop-off, and honey hole on this lake, and he's not shy about sharing the spots that produce. You'll get hands-on instruction whether you're learning to work a spinnerbait around cover or perfecting your panfish presentation. The 4-hour window is perfect - long enough to hit multiple spots and patterns, but short enough that you're not wiped out by the end of the day.
Breiten runs his trips based on what's working, not what's trendy. For bass, you'll likely be throwing everything from topwater plugs during those magic morning hours to soft plastics when the fish get finicky. He'll show you how to read the water - where bass like to ambush prey and how to present your bait so it looks like an easy meal. The panfish game is all about finesse and location. You'll learn to work small jigs, live bait rigs, and tiny spinners around the structure where bluegill stack up. Breiten provides all the gear you need, from rods and reels matched to the techniques you'll be using, to a tackle selection that's proven on this particular water. He's not just putting you on fish - he's teaching you why they're there and how to catch them again when you come back on your own.
The largemouth bass in this lake are the kind that make you remember why you started fishing in the first place. These aren't your typical skinny, pressured bass - they're healthy, aggressive fish that fight like they mean it. Spring and fall are prime time when the bass are feeding heavy before and after the spawn, but even summer fishing can be world-class if you know where to look. The bass here average 2-4 pounds with plenty of opportunities for something bigger. What makes them special is their attitude - since this lake doesn't get hammered, these fish will still eat a well-presented lure instead of just following it around. The bluegill fishing is equally impressive and often overlooked by anglers chasing only bass. These panfish grow fat and feisty in this lake, with hand-sized bluegill common and occasional monsters that'll surprise you. They're perfect for kids or anyone who wants consistent action, and they school up in predictable spots where you can catch one after another. The bluegill spawn in late spring creates some of the most fun fishing you'll find anywhere - big, aggressive fish that'll hit anything you throw at them.
This customer favorite trip fills up fast, especially during peak fishing season when the bass are most active. With only two spots per trip, Breiten keeps things intimate and focused on your success. Whether you're planning a father-son trip, want to introduce someone new to fishing, or just need a quality half-day break from the routine, this is the kind of fishing adventure that delivers every time. The private setting, expert guidance, and fish-rich water make it a no-brainer for anyone serious about their fishing. Don't sleep on booking - the best fishing days go first, and you'll want to secure your spot before someone else grabs that perfect morning or afternoon slot.

The stable platform gives you confidence whether you're a beginner learning to work a spinnerbait or an experienced angler perfecting your technique.
Lepomis MacrochirusBluegill are perfect for anglers wanting consistent action and great table fare. These scrappy panfish average 6-8 inches but put up a surprisingly strong fight for their size. You'll find them in shallow water around docks, fallen logs, and weed beds where they school up in groups of 10-20. Spring through early summer is prime time when water temps hit 70°F and they're spawning in the shallows. Kids love targeting bluegill because they're not picky eaters and will hit worms, small jigs, or even bread. The meat is sweet and flaky - some of the best eating you'll find in freshwater. Here's a local trick: use a small hook under a bobber with a piece of worm, and fish right along the edge of vegetation. When you see those beds in spring, work the outside edges first before moving in closer.
Micropterus SalmoidesLargemouth bass are the main attraction on our lake, typically running 12-20 inches with plenty of 3-5 pounders mixed in. These green fighters love structure - fallen trees, weed lines, and shallow flats where they ambush prey. They're most active during low-light periods at dawn and dusk, making our early morning trips especially productive. What makes bass fishing so addictive is their aggressive strikes and aerial fights when hooked. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but they bite year-round if you adjust your approach. The larger mouth extends past their eyes, so they can inhale surprisingly big baits. My go-to local technique is working a Texas-rigged worm slowly along the bottom near cover. Don't rush it - let the bait fall naturally and watch your line for subtle ticks. These fish have excellent eyesight and will inspect your offering closely.
