You can cancel your reservation without any charges up to three days prior to your trip, and the amount will be credited back to your account. If you cancel within three days of your scheduled trip, your deposit will be retained by the guide. Any cancellations made on the day of the trip or if you fail to show up will result in a full charge being applied to your payment method.
Dress appropriately for the season. Never underestimate how chilly the mornings on the water can be. Be sure to check the hourly weather forecast to monitor temperature changes during our trip. If you're visiting Austin between October and March, it’s wise to bring some heavy winter clothing just in case. Although rare, temperatures can sometimes drop into the 30s during October and March. Bring rain gear if the forecast calls for it, along with sunglasses (preferably polarized), snacks or food, a camera, sunscreen, and insect repellent. I will supply plenty of cold bottled water. All necessary equipment is included in the price.

Ander primarily targets Texas Black Bass, also known as Largemouth Bass. However, he also seizes opportunities to catch Catfish, Panfish, Striped Bass, White Bass, or Hybrids (a mix of White Bass and Striped Bass) when conditions are favorable. These excursions are generally catch-and-release, but you may keep your catch according to state regulations if you prefer.
Trips are available in two formats: 5-hour half-day and 8-hour full-day adventures, all aboard Ander’s 19-foot Nitro bass fishing boat. This boat boasts modern features such as a wireless trolling motor, a powerful 150-HP Yamaha engine, and advanced electronics, including a Hydrowave sound emitter to elevate your fishing experience. The boat is designed to accommodate you and one other fishing companion, so choose your partner wisely!
While you’re welcome to bring your own fishing gear, Ander supplies premium Ardent rods and reels alongside P-Line fishing line for all anglers on his bass trips. Don’t forget to carry a valid Texas Freshwater Fishing License, as well as your preferred snacks, beverages, a hat, and sunscreen to stay comfortable throughout the day.
