You'll be targeting some of the lake's most popular game fish, including hybrid bass and catfish, all while soaking in the natural beauty of East Texas.
What to Expect on the Water
Picture this: You're out on Lake Conroe as the sun peeks over the horizon, casting a golden glow across the water. Our expert guides kick things off by sharing the day's game plan, showing you the best spots, and setting you up with the right gear. We'll cruise to different fishing holes throughout the day, giving you a chance to try various techniques and target different species.

We're here to make sure you have a great day, whatever that means for you.
Fishing Know-How & Gear
On this trip, we'll be using a mix of techniques to land those fish. Expect to do some trolling, which is basically dragging lures behind the boat – it's a great way to cover water and find active fish. We might also do some bottom fishing for catfish, or cast lures near structure for bass. Don't sweat the equipment; we've got top-notch rods, reels, and tackle all ready to go. Just bring yourself, some sunscreen, and maybe a lucky hat. Oh, and don't forget to grab your fishing license before the trip – it's required, and we can't hit the water without it.
What Anglers Are Saying
"Captain James was a great help on the trip with my son and I. He was knowledgeable and very patient with us since we had not fished freshwater. He encouraged my son and he is now hooked on fishing freshwater. It was a great day both with my son and Captain James. Great fishing and even better conversation. Smile all around." - Juan
Fish You'll Want to Hook
White Bass: These feisty fighters are a blast to catch and often school up, meaning when you find one, you've found a bunch. They're most active in the spring during their spawning run, but you can catch them year-round. White bass typically range from 1-3 pounds, and they're known for their hard-hitting strikes and acrobatic jumps.
Striped Bass: The bigger, meaner cousins of white bass, stripers can grow up to 20 pounds or more in Lake Conroe. They're hard-fighting fish that will test your skills and your gear. Look for them chasing shad near the surface – the feeding frenzy, called a "blitz," is a sight to behold. Fall and winter are prime times for stripers.
Channel Catfish: These whisker-faced bottom-dwellers are abundant in Lake Conroe and make for great eating. They're most active at night, but we can still catch plenty during the day. Channel cats average 2-4 pounds but can grow much larger. They're not picky eaters, which makes them fun for anglers of all skill levels.
Blue Catfish: The heavyweight champs of Lake Conroe, blue cats can grow to monster sizes. We're talking 50 pounds or more! They prefer deeper water and put up a serious fight when hooked. Landing a big blue cat is often the highlight of an angler's trip.
Yellow Bass: Also known as "barfish," these smaller cousins of white bass are a blast on light tackle. They school up and can provide fast action when you find them. Yellow bass typically weigh less than a pound, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and taste – they're excellent for a fish fry.

Learn more about the species
Blue Catfish
Blue cats are the bruisers of Lake Conroe, with trophy fish topping 50 pounds or more. These big boys prefer deeper water, especially around river channels and deep holes. Look for them near underwater structure like submerged timber. Blues are active year-round but really turn on in late fall and winter. Anglers target them for their hard-fighting nature and potential for huge catches. To land a big blue, use fresh cut bait like shad or skipjack. Fish it on the bottom with a heavy sinker to hold in current. Be patient - big blues often take their time with the bait. Pro tip: Use your electronics to find schools of shad, then drop your bait nearby. Big blues are often lurking below the bait schools, ready to ambush.
Channel Catfish
Channel cats are Lake Conroe staples, offering steady action and good eating. These whiskered fish typically range from 2-10 pounds, with some monsters pushing 20+. You'll find them along the bottom in a variety of depths, often near structure like stumps or creek channels. They're active year-round but really turn on during warm summer nights. Anglers love targeting them for their willingness to bite and firm, white meat. To catch channel cats, use smelly baits like chicken liver or prepared stinkbaits. Fish on the bottom with a slip sinker rig. Don't be afraid to move around until you find a productive spot. Local secret: Try fishing near the edges of weed beds, where cats lurk to ambush prey. And remember, when you feel that nibble, give them a moment before setting the hook.
Striped Bass
Stripers are the heavyweight champions of Lake Conroe. These powerful fish can grow up to 30 pounds or more, putting up an epic fight when hooked. Look for them in deeper, cooler water during summer, often near underwater points or dropoffs. They'll chase shad to the surface, creating exciting topwater action. Spring and fall are prime seasons when stripers are most active. Anglers prize them for their hard-fighting nature and excellent table fare. To land a big one, try trolling with deep-diving crankbaits or live bait like shad or rainbow trout. Watch for birds diving on the water - that's often a sign of stripers feeding on baitfish below. Local tip: Early mornings and late evenings tend to be most productive, especially around main lake points.
White Bass
These silvery-white fish are a blast to catch on Lake Conroe. Typically 10-12 inches long, white bass are known for their aggressive strikes and scrappy fights. Look for them in open water, often near structures like points and ledges. They school up, so when you find one, you've usually found a bunch. Spring is prime time as they make their spawning runs up rivers and creeks. Anglers love targeting them for their fast action and tasty meat. To land white bass, try small jigs or spoons - white or chartreuse colors work well. Cast into schools you spot on the surface or use your fish finder to locate them suspended in deeper water. A quick, erratic retrieve often triggers strikes. Pro tip: On windy days, drift with the wind and cast ahead of the boat for best results.
Yellow Bass
Yellow bass might be small, but they make up for it with numbers and fight. These feisty fish usually run 6-10 inches, rarely topping a pound. You'll find them in schools around shallow, rocky areas and near drop-offs. Spring and fall are prime seasons when they're most active. Anglers love targeting yellows for their fast action and tasty fillets. To catch them, use light tackle with small jigs or live minnows. Watch for surface activity, as feeding schools often give themselves away. Cast into the school and retrieve with a slow, steady motion. Local trick: Try jigging spoons in deeper water during summer - you might hook into a whole school!
