Texas is known for its outstanding freshwater fisheries, and the best of the best are the lakes and rivers of San Antonio. Angling aficionados from the state, nay, country, flock to the “River City” for their share of action, and San Antonio fishing guides are there to accommodate them.
Whether you’re in the mood for Bass galore, Catfish for dinner, or memorable Redfish battles, you’ve come to the right place. Bass are by far the most popular catch in the area, and there are several species that you can target. Largemouth, Hybrid Striped, and White Bass are all in the cards, and you can land quite a few, no matter the body of water you’re on.
Redfish are also on everybody’s list – and yes, you can find these feisty fellas in the freshwater lakes. Not only can you find them, but there are some huge specimens out there, weighing up to 40 pounds! There’s also a lot of Channel and Blue Catfish in these parts, as well as plenty of delicious Crappie and Sunfish to fill your coolers. You might even stumble upon some Rainbow Trout if the conditions align.
San Antonio fishing guides organize their trips in a way that there’s something for everyone’s pleasure. You’ll find half day trips that will take you to the nearby lakes in a heartbeat. There are charters that organize fishing excursions for kids, if you want your little ones to get hooked young. Meanwhile, avid Bass fishers will enjoy full day Bass jaunts that will put them on the best bite.
If you’re looking for a captain to take you out, Braunig, Calaveras, and Canyon Lakes, along with the Guadalupe River and Lake Placid are all great places to start.
