What would you recommend to anglers fishing in San Antonio, Texas for the first time?

Apparently according to our guide fishing in April is usually great but no much this year. I wish they would’ve told me ahead of time (since they had my contact information) for a possible reschedule until fish levels were better

I like going out fishing, weather plays a big roll, it is always good to check and learn with guides, they have been out and know what’s to be expected. Don’t get disappointed, fishing is very unpredictable even with a guide. Spring and fall is the best but there’s always fish out there.

If you’re looking to catch fish, the entrance fee to Calaveras is definitely worth the cost, as is hiring a local guide. Shore anglers do pretty darn well there as well. If you’re looking for a more natural, scenic setting, I’d highly recommend going to the Guadalupe River or Canyon Lake.

April a little early in the season for reds, some days good, some slower. Fishing improves in May and red hot in June and July. Good fishing for reds until December but they move around. Incredible lake! We live in NW SA and were home in a half an hour. Incredible!

Getting out is the key, if you find a local guide help you understand what fish is doing for the season. There’s different types of bait for the different species. Have fun don’t stress if there’s no catch at first, it is a pleasant process when reeling in your fish. ?

While June, July, and September is the best, anytime, fishing with Captain Martin is fun! Highly recommend this guide.

If you’re fishing in the summer on a four hour trip or longer, be sure to bring at least 2 quarts of water.

Just be ready to experience Texas weather that changes frequently, and bring a good attitude along and enjoy the trip!

It was an amazing experience! The pace was great and not too slow so it kept us engaged. I would 100% recommend fishing with this company and Captain Miguel for no matter your experience level.

Book with Harry. Top notch and great boat with lots of sun protection to keep you and the kids out on the water.

It’s a ton of fun, weather in the spring can be unpredictable so watch the forecast before booking.

None can guarantee a successful catch, but the waters around San Antonio are always sure to make for a grand time.

Go to the bathroom before you board! And be prepared to hold it for 4-5 hours. Brings water and snacks.

If you want to catch fish use Bones fishing. Raymond knows the area and will make sure your time and money are well spent.

Weather make the difference, not sure how it is when is hot and not wind going on but we had the perfect conditions while being on the water.

For those who do not fish often. This Captain if you listen to his advice in reeling in fish. You will land all of them.

Definitely a great choice Jesse knows what his doing you will definitely be catching some fish I recommend him 100%

Definitely recommend I’ve had two strokes two years ago Capt Leal was understanding and helpful with my first journey back to the water. Blessings Captain Leal Sir.

Don't hesitate booking with Captain Jesse. He showed us a good time and we caught our limit on during our trip out. We will be back.

Give it a shot. Be prepared to catch fish. Redfish put up a good fight, are tasty and you can keep anything over 20 inches. A good guide can help a lot. Well worth it!

Reach out to other captains and/or locals to help point you towards the good spots or other recommendations.

Winter is hit and miss. For us, today, it was great. March through summer is supposed to be more consistent.

Spring to summer is probably the best time to fish, we did good this time even with the cold weather

All you’ll need is your drinks, snacks and fishing licenses. The captain has everything else covered.

It was just bad timing for reds. They weren't in schools. They were scattered in many different areas.

Be prepared to have a blast! Due to the heat this summer, we were happy to book the trip for the first half of the day.

If you don't have your own fishing boat and gear, it was well worth the time to get a guide service with Bones Fishing Guide Service.

Lake Braunig is a great place for spring fishing, particularly if you're interested in fishing for red drum.

Afternoon trip might be a little warmer. Redfish are stocked in the power plant lakes and reach keeper size and smaller ones are just as fun to catch.

Use one of the Charters and fish/catch your dinner on our power station cooling lakes. The cost is about the same as a trip to the coast to fish but here you can catch and for kids that is great.
