Buildingdreams Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 My wife and I will be in staying in between Austin and Houston (Brenham). We have one day to do a guided trip. I'm not sure what lakes you guys would suggest in that area. I've never been down there. Or should I look for guides first?? Never really done this before.

FOX941 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Maybe hit up Lake Fayette. There is a guide in Fayetteville off FM 159 but can’t remember his name. Buildingdreams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgc Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Jared Swafford. Havent made it out to Texas but he’s first on my list when I do. Can’t remember what he quoted but I remember thinking his prices were very fair. Seems like a good dude.

chefchris Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Make sure you check the rates! Some guys charging over $1500 a day for some of these lakes. never done a freshwater guide but I’ve great experiences with saltwater guides (boat and surf) do your homework once you find someone and let them know as much info as possible, what you want to throw, skill set, goals etc, that way it’s a win win for everyone best of luck Buildingdreams and basskickinrednick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I see it on the map but I'm not seeing a lot about it. I'll see if I can find the guy your thinking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely be checking rates I had know idea it could be $1,500.00!! Hopefully I can get lucky and find a guide that specializes in big baits....?

Buildingdreams Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 My wife and I had a blast with Jarrod. He was as nice as anyone can be. Not to mention how great a fishery it was. I highly recommend taking a trip with him. Nothing but positive reviews from us! I know I’ll be going back. ericbaker, GoodVibez_TightLines, jonboatjake and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurdaJ Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 did you catch a fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buildingdreams Posted April 12 Author Report Share Posted April 12 Did catch a nice one (For me). Had a bunch of followers. One huge girl came out of no where and was hot on the andromeda but she bailed right at the boat. Biggest bass I’ve ever seen. Even Jarrod was excited about her. The whole thing was amazing! jonboatjake and GoodVibez_TightLines 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
