Brandon focuses on productive areas away from heavy boat traffic, ensuring a quality fishing environment.
Lake Ray Hubbard's fishing success depends heavily on seasonal patterns and weather conditions. Spring and fall typically offer the most consistent action, with bass moving shallow during spawning periods and feeding actively before winter. Summer fishing requires early morning or evening trips to avoid peak heat, while winter can produce excellent results during mild weather windows. Brandon monitors water temperature, wind direction, and recent weather patterns to position clients in the most productive areas.
The lake's bowfishing opportunities shine during warmer months when rough fish like gar and carp become more active in shallow water. This specialized technique requires different skills than traditional angling, but Brandon provides thorough instruction for newcomers. The combination of fishing methods means trips remain productive even when one approach slows down, giving clients multiple ways to stay engaged throughout the day.
Brandon provides all fishing equipment, safety gear, and bowfishing equipment for clients who want to try both techniques. Trips typically start early morning or late afternoon to take advantage of optimal feeding times and comfortable temperatures. The guide service includes instruction on local techniques, help with equipment, and cleaning of any fish you decide to keep. Bring sun protection, snacks, and drinks for your comfort during the trip. Brandon can accommodate different group sizes and customize the experience based on your fishing goals and experience level.
