What to Expect on the Water

As soon as you step aboard, you'll notice this charter's all about business. Our captain's got years of experience on Lake Conroe and knows exactly where the big ones are biting. We keep the group small - just you and up to five of your fishing buddies - so there's plenty of elbow room and personal attention.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

On this charter, we're not messing around with beginner stuff. We're talking advanced tactics for hybrid striped bass and white bass. You might be working deep-diving crankbaits along underwater structure, or maybe finessing soft plastics near schools of bait fish. Our captain will clue you in on what's working best that day, whether it's vertical jigging, trolling, or casting to surface-busting fish. We adapt our approach based on conditions, time of year, and where the fish are holding. This is your chance to pick up some new tricks and refine your skills with guidance from a local pro who lives and breathes Lake Conroe fishing.

Species You'll Want to Hook

White Bass: These fighters are a blast to catch and abundant in Lake Conroe. They school up, especially in spring and fall, and when you find 'em, it's non-stop action. They average 1-2 pounds, but don't let their size fool you - they punch above their weight class when it comes to the fight. Look for them near points and drop-offs, and get ready for some fast-paced fishing.

Striped Bass: The big boys of the bass family in Lake Conroe, stripers can push 20 pounds or more. They're hard-fighting and make for great eating. We target these bruisers year-round, but they're especially active in cooler months. When a big striper hits your lure, hold on tight - it's gonna be a wild ride!

Channel Catfish: While not our primary target, channel cats are plentiful in Lake Conroe and put up a good scrap. They're bottom-feeders, so we might switch up tactics to entice them with cut bait or stink bait if that's what's biting. These whiskered fish can reach 10 pounds or more, and they're delicious when properly prepared.

Blue Catfish: The heavyweight champs of Lake Conroe, blue cats can grow to monster sizes. We're talking potential 50-pounders here, folks. They're less common than channel cats, but landing one of these giants is a real trophy. They prefer deeper water and respond well to cut bait and live bait presentations.

Yellow Bass: Often overlooked but fun to catch, yellow bass (also called barfish) school up in Lake Conroe. They're smaller than white bass but just as scrappy. When you find a school, it's not uncommon to catch one on nearly every cast. They're great for anglers who like fast action and make excellent table fare.

Learn more about the species

Blue Catfish

Blue cats are the heavyweights of Lake Conroe, with some brutes topping 50 pounds. These opportunistic predators prefer deeper, open water but will move shallow to feed. Look for them along river channels, near dam tailraces, or suspended over deep structure. They're active year-round but really turn on in cooler months. Blues fight like freight trains - be ready for powerful runs and have a good net handy. Fresh cut bait is hard to beat, but they'll hit artificial lures too. One local trick: Use your electronics to find schools of shad, then fish just below them. Blues often hang out under bait balls waiting to ambush stragglers. The meat is excellent, with a clean, mild flavor that's great for frying or grilling. Just remember, bigger fish tend to have more toxins, so it's best to release the giants and keep the medium-sized ones for the table.

Channel Catfish

Channel cats are a Lake Conroe staple, typically running 2-10 pounds with some monsters pushing 20+. These whiskered bottom-feeders prefer areas with structure like underwater logs, rocks, or steep drop-offs. They're most active at night or on overcast days. While they'll eat just about anything, prepared stinkbaits and cut bait are top choices. For a more sporting approach, try drifting with live bait or even artificial lures. Channel cats put up a solid fight, especially on lighter tackle. They're known for their excellent table fare - the meat is mild, flaky, and perfect for frying. Here's a local secret: Focus on areas where creek channels meet the main lake, especially after a good rain. The influx of nutrients attracts baitfish, which in turn draws in hungry cats. Just be careful of those spines when handling them!

Striped Bass

Stripers are the big cousins of white bass, commonly reaching 20-40 pounds. These powerful predators roam open water, following bait schools. Look for them along channel edges, points, and humps, especially early and late in the day. They're most active in cooler months when the water temp drops. Stripers put up an epic fight - be ready for long runs and jumps. Live bait like shad or big minnows works well, but artificial lures like swimbaits and jigging spoons can be deadly too. One local tip: Watch for surface feeding activity, then cast beyond the school and retrieve through it. Stripers often push bait to the surface, creating a "boil" you can spot from a distance. The meat is excellent eating, with a firm texture and mild flavor. Just be mindful of size and catch limits to help maintain the population.

White Bass

White bass are a feisty little schooling fish that typically run 10-12 inches long. You'll find them cruising open water or hanging near structures like points and drop-offs. They're visual feeders, so they're most active in clearer water. Spring is prime time as they make spawning runs up tributaries. White bass put up a great fight for their size and are a blast on light tackle. They often feed in big schools, so when you find them, the action can be non-stop. To catch 'em, try small jigs, spinners, or live minnows. Work your lure through the whole water column until you find where they're feeding. A good local trick is to look for diving birds - that often means white bass are pushing bait to the surface. The meat is mild and flaky, making them good eating too.

Yellow Bass

Yellow bass are the smallest member of the bass family in Lake Conroe, typically running 4-12 ounces. Don't let their size fool you though - these little guys are aggressive and fun to catch. You'll find them in schools around shallow, rocky areas, especially near shorelines in 2-3 feet of water. They're most active in spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Yellow bass are lightning-fast and put up a scrappy fight on ultralight tackle. Small jigs, spinners, and live minnows all work well. They're great eating too, with sweet, flaky meat. Here's a local tip: When you find a school, cast beyond it and retrieve your lure through the group. Yellow bass are competitive feeders, so this often triggers a feeding frenzy. Just be prepared for fast action - when they're biting, it's not uncommon to catch one on every cast!
