Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
Lake Travis isn't just any old fishing hole - it's a 65-mile long reservoir with plenty of structure and cover that bass love. From submerged timber to rocky points, there's a variety of habitat that makes for exciting fishing. The early morning start gives you the best shot at catching active fish before the Texas sun heats things up. Plus, with the lake's clear waters, you might even spot your quarry before you cast. It's this combination of scenic beauty and quality fishing that keeps anglers coming back season after season.
Species You'll Want to Hook
Largemouth Bass: The star of the show on Lake Travis, these hard-fighting fish are known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps. They typically range from 2 to 5 pounds, but don't be surprised if you hook into a real lunker - Lake Travis has produced bass over 13 pounds! Spring and fall are prime times for big bass, but our guides know how to find them year-round. Largemouth love to ambush their prey, so we'll target areas with good cover like submerged brush, docks, and rocky points. When you feel that telltale thump on your line and the drag starts singing, you'll know why bass fishing is addictive.
Guadalupe Bass: While not as common as their largemouth cousins, hooking into one of these scrappy fighters is a real treat. As the official state fish of Texas, Guadalupe bass are native to the area and perfectly adapted to the clear, cool waters of Hill Country. They're smaller than largemouth, typically 1-2 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in spirit. These fish love fast-moving water and rocky habitat, so we'll often target them around the lake's many points and drop-offs. Landing a Guadalupe bass is like holding a piece of Texas history in your hands.
