Believe it or not, freshwater redfish fishing on Lake Calaveras is a rare and unforgettable opportunity!

Captain Bryan uses his 21' Carolina Skiff equipped for downrigging, ensuring your group lands these sought-after fish.
Besides Redfish, Lake Calaveras is home to impressive Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Striped Bass (“Stripers”), and other species. The 21' Carolina Skiff boasts powerful twin 150 HP Johnson engines, GPS, fishfinder, radar, VHF radio, and all essential safety equipment. Captain Bryan supplies premium fishing gear and tackle, including high-quality Penn rods and reels. Live bait is caught fresh from the lake during your trip and is included in your booking.
At the conclusion of your outing, Captain Bryan will expertly clean and fillet your catch, so you can take home fresh fish for your dinner table. Just bring your fishing licenses, a cooler filled with snacks and drinks, your favorite sunglasses, and prepare for a memorable day on the water with Captain Bryan and Captain Experiences. Select your preferred date, group size, trip duration, and start time to secure your spot.
