Types of Texas Guided Fishing Trips

General Inland

Texas fishing guides generally operate out of bass or multi-species boats taking 1-3 anglers out at a time.  Texas is a “top notch” largemouth bass fishery with 10 pound plus fish commonly caught.   Texas fishing guides also guide for slab crappie and world record gar and catfish.

Fly Fishing

Texas fly fishing guides concentrate on bass and trout on the states streams and rivers but the salt water fly fishing targets countless species.  Texas fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.

Salt Water (In-Shore)

Texas in-shore fishing charters operate out of smaller boats fishing close to the coastline and backwaters.  Redfish, speckled trout, and snook are common targets for these captains but they catch many different species on a seasonal basis and usually concentrate on calm beautiful waters.

Salt Water (Off-Shore)

The Gulf of Mexico is referred to as “The Middle Coast” and provides Texas offshore fishing charters an opportunity to catch nearly any species and use nearly any technique to catch them.  Troll for sailfish or marlin, use live bait for tuna, bottom fish a drop off, or target the many species surrounding the off-shore oil rigs.  Texas deep sea charters offer a trip to satisfy any angler.
