Capt. James listened to what I wanted from the start and was willing to try multiple spots to find the best action. He knows the lake extremely well. I maxed out on hybrids and will definitely be booking more trips with him!

This was my first time using a guide and it couldn’t have gone better. Captain James was personable, professional, and had us on fish quickly. The whole experience was fantastic. Highly recommend — 5 stars!

When the bite was slow, James showed just how skilled he is. With the right gear and the ability to adjust to changing conditions, he turned a tough day into a memorable one. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding fishing guide.

All the boats coming in were talking about how slow the bite was, but we still landed 28 keepers with just three of us. Captain James was chill, friendly, and helpful — exactly what we were looking for.

Enjoyed our morning with Captain James going catfishing! The weather was nice and peaceful to go out on the lake. Captain James was very knowledgeable about getting us to the good fishing spots and educated us some on how to read the fish finder. We really enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend Fish Head Water Sports!

Had a great time. Captain James is friendly easy going and took care of everything from baiting hooks to cleaning fish. Made sure everyone was accommodated the hole trip. His boat is roomy and comfortable as well. I highly recommend and will be booking another trip on the future.

Awesome day fishing with captain James. We headed out early at 6am because he said it would be better for striped bass and boy was it. We started in one spot and they weren’t hitting so we quickly moved and then found a spot where they were on fire! All keepers! We even caught some large cats. Once stripers quit hitting we moved on to catfish and caught a bunch! Awesome trip! Boat was awesome too. Great electronics and captain James even taught me how to read the sonar. After all this he cleaned and bagged all the fish! Highly recommend him. Had my wife and two pre-teen kids with us and it was great.

We are so glad we booked our first Lake Conroe fishing trip with Captain James and Fish Head Water Sports! Our Captain had extensive knowledge of the lake and knew how to find great pockets of fish. I have been fishing before, but my wife was new to this. Captain James had her pulling them up in no time. She had a blast and now wants to fish more so big bonus. We ended the day with 45 so it was quite the catch. (Although my wife caught another catfish and a bluegill with her new hobby from our deck after we got back so 47 for the day) We would highly recommend Captain James- He was friendly and adept at getting around the lake and finding the fish. Beautiful views and at days end he filleted all our fish. We will definitely book him again for our next tour! Thank you!

My wife and I went out for a 5 hour trip. We left the dock at 6 am to start our fishing trip for hybrids. We caught 2 hybrids that were keepers and caught some more hybrids that unfortunately werent keepers. The bite slowed down a little where we were but fortunately the captain knew other spots to go fishing. The next fish on our list to catch was catfish. We ended up with lots of catfish between my wife and I. We also caught some yellow bass , and fresh water drum. We highly recommend using fish head water sports guide services ! The captain also filets your catch and bags it for you! 5/5 stars and definitely will use them again !
