Texas Fishing & Hog Hunting Combo Adventure
Private Trip
Flats/Shallows Fishing
Eight-hour combo features four hours fishing plus four hours hog huntingThermal optics, rifles, ammunition, and fishing equipment all providedPrivate land access across Dallas and Kaufman County locations
Looking for the best bang for your buck near Dallas? This 8-hour combo trip splits your day perfectly - 4 hours chasing white bass, crappie, and catfish on Lake Ray Hubbard, then 4 hours hunting hogs with thermal optics after dark. You're getting two Texas adventures for way less than booking separately, and I'll make sure you walk away with stories worth telling. We keep groups small at just 3 people max, so you're not fighting for space or attention. Plus, if luck isn't on your side for either the fishing or hunting portion, I'll bring you back free of charge - that's how confident I am in what we're doing out here.
Your fishing starts on Lake Ray Hubbard, where the white bass runs can get absolutely wild during peak season. We'll target structure and drop-offs where these schooling fish love to ambush baitfish, and when they're feeding, it's game on. Crappie fishing here requires a bit more finesse - we'll work brush piles and standing timber where these slab-sided fighters like to hang out. The catfish action picks up as the day warms, and we'll switch tactics to bottom fishing with the right bait to get those whiskers fired up. All your gear is provided, so just bring a cooler for drinks and snacks. After we wrap up on the water, we'll clean your catch so you can take home fresh fillets, then gear up for the hunting portion as the sun starts setting.
Once darkness falls, we switch gears completely and head to private land in Kaufman and Dallas Counties for thermal hog hunting. Each hunter gets their own rifle setup with thermal optics - no squinting through regular scopes trying to see movement in the dark. We'll position you in strategically placed blinds near active feeders where hogs regularly show up to eat. The thermal technology lets you see these animals clear as day, even in pitch black conditions. Hogs are nocturnal by nature, so night hunting gives us the edge when they're most active. If you harvest a hog, we can gut and skin it for an additional $35, or you can take it whole. The hunting requires you to be 21 with hunter safety completed, or accompanied by a guardian if you're younger.
White bass are the bread and butter of Lake Ray Hubbard fishing, and for good reason. These silver rockets travel in schools and when you find one, you've usually found dozens. They typically run 12-16 inches and fight way above their weight class with aggressive runs and head shakes. Spring and fall are prime time when they're chasing shad in the shallows, but summer evenings can produce fantastic topwater action. What makes them so fun is the numbers - once you dial in the pattern, you can catch them one after another until your arm gets tired.
Crappie fishing here offers a different kind of challenge that keeps things interesting. These paper-mouthed fighters average 10-14 inches, with some real slabs pushing 16 inches or better. They're structure-oriented fish that love cover like submerged trees and brush piles, so we'll work these spots methodically with jigs and minnows. Spring spawning season brings them shallow, but year-round they're available if you know where to look. The bite can be subtle, so paying attention to your line is crucial - but when you set the hook on a big slab, that head-shaking fight is pure gold.
Channel catfish round out our target species and provide consistent action when other fish get finicky. These whiskered fighters can range from eating-size 2-pounders up to arm-stretching 15+ pound brutes that'll test your drag system. They're most active in warmer water and low-light conditions, feeding heavily on cut bait, worms, and prepared baits. What's great about cats is their willingness to bite - when bass and crappie get lockjaw, catfish often save the day and keep your rod bent. Plus, they're fantastic table fare when prepared right.
At $275 per person for both fishing and hunting (saving you $100 over booking separate trips), this combo delivers serious value for a full day of Texas outdoor action. You're getting professional guiding for two completely different adventures, all equipment provided, fish cleaning included, and my personal guarantee that if either portion doesn't produce, you're coming back on me. Whether you're looking to introduce someone to multiple outdoor sports or just want to maximize your day off, this trip covers all the bases. Small group sizes mean personalized attention and better fishing spots without crowds. Book now and get ready for a day that starts with bent rods and ends with thermal hunting action.
Your fishing and hunting adventure starts with our fully equipped motorboat designed to handle Lake Ray Hubbard's waters with ease. This motorboat comes loaded with a fish finder to help locate those white bass, crappie, and catfish hiding in the depths. The wireless trolling motor lets us move quietly through fishing spots without spooking the fish, while GPS navigation keeps us on track to the hottest bite locations. The onboard multimedia system provides entertainment between fishing sessions, and the VHF radio ensures we stay connected for safety. When visibility gets tough during early morning or evening transitions between fishing and hog hunting portions of your combo trip, the radar system keeps us moving safely across the water. With room for one guest plus your guide, you'll have plenty of space to work your lines and store your catch in the provided coolers. All fishing gear is included, so just bring your drinks and snacks for this 4-hour water adventure before heading to land for thermal hog hunting.
