What to Expect on Your Guided Trip
I offer On-the-Water Instructional Teaching on seasonal patterns, structure fishing, casting techniques as well as understanding electronics.
Hybrid Striped Bass trip- A full day trip is five hours long. Most trips start at Temple Lake Park, (north ramp). While your trip is five hours long, my day starts hours before preparing for the trip, catching bait for the trip and then at the end of your trip I clean and bag your catch*. We will be fishing live shad on Berkley Ugly Stick Rods with Bait cast reels or Artificial bait fishing will be spoons (slabs) on Allstar rods and bait-cast reels. All tackle will be provided, however customers are expected to reimburses for major loss or damage of equipment, i.e. rods and reels.
Full Day Bass trips- Trips will start at a ramp to be determined, based on weather conditions and area of the lake the fish are biting in. Start time will be near to first light, unless customer prefers to start later. Full day trips will be to 3 PM or at least 8 hours. Bass trips are all catch and release only, I recommend to measure and photograph any trophy fish caught, then have a fiberglass replica made. We will be fishing Shimano Reels on PowerTackle Rods or Allstar rods. All tackle will be provided, however customers are expected to reimburses for major loss or damage of equipment, i.e. crank baits, spinners baits, rods and reels. Customers should let me know if they do not feel comfortable with bait-cast reels, arrangement can be made for spinning reels, however I have great patience in teaching the use of bait-cast reels and have not meet an angler whom I was unable to teach how to use Bait-cast reels. From July 1 to September 15th I offer full day trips as split trips, safe light for four hours then four hours before sundown to sundown, there is and additional fuel cost of $50.00 for this option. This is optional and at the customers request, otherwise the normal hours of the full day trip will be safe light for 8 hours.
Half Day Bass trips- Trips will start at a ramp to be determined, based on weather conditions and area of the lake the fish are biting in. Start time will be near to first light for morning trips, unless customer prefers to start later. Afternoon trips will start four hours before sundown. Half day trips will be 4 hours long.. We will be fishing Shimano Reels on PowerTackle Rods or Allstar rods. All tackle will be provided, however customers are expected to reimburses for major loss or damage of equipment, i.e. crank baits, spinners baits, rods and reels.
* Fish cleaning refers to Hybrid Striped Bass Only, should the customer desire to keep White Bass and have me clean them there will be an additional charge of $10.00/limit.
