What to Expect on Your Private Bass Fishing Adventure

This private charter departs at the crack of dawn, 6:00 AM sharp, from the Elm Creek Marina. Your guide will be there and ready to go, giving you a quick safety briefing before we head out onto the water. From there, it's all about putting you on the fish.

Largemouth bass are the name of the game, and our guides know exactly where to find them. We'll work areas like deep rocky points, underwater ledges, and flooded brush to sight-fish for active, aggressive bass using a variety of techniques. Expect to see a lot of reaction strikes, as these fish are primed to smash topwater plugs, crankbaits, and soft plastics.

Don't be surprised if we also encounter some other exciting Texas gamefish along the way. The diversity of species in Lake O.H. Ivie is truly remarkable, and you never know what might pick up your bait. This could include hard-fighting alligator gar, acrobatic African pompano, or even the occasional tuna-like agujon needlefish.
