Lake Travis Bass Fishing: Your Texas Adventure

Hey there, angler! Ready to chase some monster bass on one of Texas' most beautiful lakes? Join me, Captain Wyatt, for a 4-hour morning fishing trip on Lake Travis that'll have you hooked from the start. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod, I've got everything you need to make some serious catches and lifelong memories. Let's dive into what makes this Lake Travis fishing charter a can't-miss experience!

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: The sun's just peeking over the Texas hills, the water's calm, and you're aboard my top-of-the-line Skeeter boat, ready to hit Lake Travis' best fishing spots. We'll spend 4 action-packed hours targeting largemouth bass, crappie, and white bass. I'll set you up with premium rods, reels, and tackle - all you need to bring is your excitement and maybe a snack or two. As we cruise around the lake, I'll share local knowledge, point out landmarks, and most importantly, put you on the fish. Whether you're looking to learn new techniques or just want to relax and reel 'em in, I've got you covered. And hey, if you're bringing the kids along, no worries - I love teaching youngsters the ropes and watching their faces light up with that first catch!

Fishing Know-How & Gear

On this trip, we'll be using a mix of techniques to target those big bass. We might start off with some topwater action early in the morning, then switch to crankbaits or jigs as the day warms up. I'll show you how to work different lures, read the water, and even use my high-tech sonar to find those underwater honey holes. My Skeeter boat is decked out with all the latest gear, including top-notch electronics to help us locate the fish. Don't worry if you're not familiar with all the fancy fishing lingo - I'll break it down in simple terms and have you casting like a pro in no time. And if you happen to get your line tangled? No sweat, I'm here to help you get back to fishing ASAP.

What Anglers Are Saying

"We had a fantastic morning fishing with Captain Wyatt. We pulled in so many Bass we lost count. They were a very nice size. We even caught 3 at one time. And Captain Wyatt was very willing to make our day perfect, from untangling line to changing up our bait. I would highly recommend him as your fishing guide. Tight lines to you" - Bertie

"Wyatt was relaxed and knows his stuff. He put us on the fish and offered casual instruction periodically to help us better understand how to manage the different bites and bottom conditions. We luckily didn't hang up that often, but when it happened he was calm and just eased over and fixed the issue. We were slaying the large mouth and white bass all morning:) Recommend Highly!" - Dave

"We had an awesome experience with Bass Tours ATX! Went out with Wyatt for a family fishing trip at Lake Travis with our two young kids (7 & 9) and couldn't have asked for a better guide. Super easy to schedule — we just showed up and everything was ready to go. Wyatt was patient, encouraging, and made it fun for the kids, teaching them how to cast and work the line. We learned a lot of tips and skills from Wyatt. He clearly knows the lake as we caught fish after fish. My 7 YO caught 5 fish and was over the moon. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a fun, stress-free day on the water." - Wing

Target Species Breakdown

Largemouth Bass: These are the stars of the show on Lake Travis. Known for their aggressive strikes and powerful fights, largemouth bass can grow to impressive sizes in these waters. We'll target them around structure like submerged trees, rocky points, and drop-offs. The best part? They're active year-round, but spring and fall tend to be prime time for trophy catches. When a big largemouth slams your lure, you'll understand why bass fishing is so addictive!

Crappie: Don't let their size fool you - these tasty panfish are a blast to catch and make for excellent eating. We'll look for schools of crappie around brush piles and other structure, often using light tackle and small jigs. They're especially fun for kids or beginners, as they tend to bite readily when you find a good spot. Spring is typically the best time for crappie fishing, but we can catch them year-round with the right techniques.

White Bass: Also known as sand bass, these feisty fighters are known for their impressive schooling behavior. When we hit a school of white bass, get ready for non-stop action! They're often found chasing shad in open water or along points and ledges. White bass are particularly active in the spring during their spawning run, but we can catch them throughout the year. Their hard-hitting strikes and acrobatic jumps make them a favorite among Lake Travis anglers.

Time to Book Your Spot!

Alright, folks, if you're itching to get out on Lake Travis and experience some world-class bass fishing, now's the time to lock in your trip. Whether you're a local looking for a new honey hole or a visitor wanting to make the most of your time in Texas, this 4-hour morning charter is the perfect way to start your day. Remember, I provide all the gear, knowledge, and enthusiasm - you just need to show up ready for some fun on the water. With limited spots available and the fish biting, don't wait to book your Lake Travis fishing adventure. Give me a shout, and let's make some fishing memories that'll have you coming back for more. See you on the lake!

Grandsons First Catch

quotes

Wyatt's gear is top shelf. His demeanor is calm and his patience with my grandson was phenomenal. Witnessing my grandson catch his first fish, equally phenomenal. Since this was my (our) first time Bass fishing, Wyatt also schooled us by landing at least ten (10) on his own. Best part, we taught my grandson the meaning of sports fishing by putting them back into the lake. 10/10 from me, and Wyatt will see me again !! Hands-down awesome.

Bass Bounty Bonanza

quotes

This was an amazing fishing trip. Wyatt put us all on big bass. My advise to everyone, is do what Wyatt says and you will catch fish. Both kids caught big fish, even the dad caught a nice bass. :) All of Wyatts fishing gear, poles, lures, and Skeeter is top notch. He has killer sonar equipment to get right on the big fish. What a small world.....turns out he is the Nephew and cousin of one our Huts long time baseball buddies Ganno and the Az....family.....,wow, couldnt believe that..... Just do exactly what Wyatt says and you will catch the fish. He knows exactly how to fish those areas and the tackle was flawless. I put him to the test with a few knots . bottom line...Ashlyn wins...she caught the biggest bass. She listened !!!! Awesome trip, I will highly recommen and will book Wyatt again..

Bass Blast with Pro

quotes

Had a blast this morning with Captain Wyatt. Hit several spots on Lake Travis and pretty much caught some bass on each spot. He was very respectful, friendly and would help with showing you how to fish the bait that your using; as well as he stayed on top of netting each fish that was caught and checking our bait to make sure it was still usable. If you’re ever in West Texas, hit me up. Thank you Wyatt

Crappie

Crappie are a blast to catch on Lake Travis. These tasty panfish typically run 7-12 inches and like to school up around brush piles and submerged timber. Early spring is prime time as they move shallow to spawn. Crappie are most active at dawn and dusk, so plan accordingly. Locals prize 'em for their delicate, flaky meat. They're not huge fighters, but their light bite and tendency to suspend make them a fun challenge. To dial in the bite, try a small jig under a slip bobber. Experiment with depth until you find the right zone. Once you get one, there's usually more nearby. A bucket of crappie makes for one heck of a fish fry!

Crappie

Largemouth Bass

Lake Travis is prime largemouth territory. These fish usually run 12-24 inches, with some real lunkers pushing 10 pounds or more. You'll find them hanging around submerged structure like fallen trees, rocky points, and weed beds. Spring and fall are peak seasons when bass move shallow to feed. Largemouth put up an awesome fight - they'll dive deep, jump clear out of the water, and test your skills. Locals love 'em for both sport and table fare. To boost your odds, try working a Texas-rigged plastic worm slowly along the bottom near drop-offs. When you feel that telltale "tap," set the hook hard and hold on tight!

Largemouth Bass

White Bass

White bass are the unsung heroes of Lake Travis. These silvery dynamos usually run 10-15 inches and love to school up to chase shad. Look for them along points and in open water, especially during their spring spawning run up tributary creeks. White bass are aggressive and hard-fighting for their size. They'll readily hit small spinners, jigs, and live minnows. The best action is often early morning or late evening when they're busting bait on the surface. One local trick: watch for diving birds to locate feeding schools. Once you find 'em, it's often fast and furious action. White bass are excellent eating too, with firm, white flesh. Limits are generous, so they're perfect for a fish fry.
