"Reeling in the Thrill: Wiper and Crappie Fishing Bliss at Buchanan Dam"
What a great day we had out on the water at Buchanan Dam, Texas! As a guide with Reel Texas Fishing Tours, I'm always excited to take folks out for an evening trip, especially in May when the fish are really active. The weather was just about perfect—partly cloudy throughout the day, with comfortable temperatures that made for a pleasant time on the water. We started off targeting Wiper (Hybrid striped bass) and White crappie, using a mix of heavy and light tackle. The fish were really responding to the conditions, and it didn't take long before we started hooking up. These species put up a great fight, stripping line and making those drag-screaming runs that get the adrenaline pumping. It was nonstop action, with Joseph skillfully playing each fish to the boat. We landed some real nice specimens, and it was clear he was having a blast reeling them in. Truthfully, the fishing was just one part of what made this trip so memorable. The real highlight was the camaraderie and good vibes we shared out there. Joseph was a pleasure to fish with—he was engaged, asked great questions, and was genuinely excited about every catch. Between the bites, we traded stories, swapped fishing tips, and just enjoyed each other's company. That's what these trips are all about, in my mind—creating an experience that goes beyond just the numbers. If you're looking to get in on some world-class fishing in the Buchanan Dam area, I'd highly recommend booking an evening trip with Reel Texas Fishing Tours. Whether you're after hard-fighting Wiper, tasty White crappie, or just want to enjoy a few hours on the water, we'll make sure you have an unforgettable time.

In between catches, we'd swap stories, talk fishing tactics, and just enjoy being out on the water together.

Captain Randy recently guided me and my son. We’re from Minnesota and came down to look at colleges. We had so much fun catching wipers and bucket mouths that Randy should get paid a recruiting fee. I may have a future Aggie partly because he showed us such a good time. I use guides often and I highly recommend Randy. Also, heck of a nice guy.

We had THE BEST TIME with Randy. My Nephew had never went fishing before and Randy was super patient and very knowledgable. Knows many of the lakes around Central TX, and the best spots at each of them. Great boat and gear. Literally just brought a few drinks and snacks, Randy took care of the rest. Looking forward to booking another day with him again soon!
