When you hop aboard our boat, you're in for a treat. We'll cruise out onto Lake Ray Hubbard, a 22,000-acre fishing paradise just east of Dallas. The lake's known for its healthy fish populations, and we know all the sweet spots where the big ones like to hang out. You'll be using our Pro Angler Tackle and Piscifun gear – this isn't your grandpa's old fishing pole, folks. We're talking smooth-casting rods and reels that'll have you feeling like a pro in no time. And let's not forget about our secret weapon: cutting-edge Solix 15 and Garmin 122sv Live Scope electronics. It's like having x-ray vision for fish – we can see exactly where they're hiding and put you right on top of the action. We provide the bait too, our special LS Slabs that the fish just can't resist. By the end of the day, you'll be reeling 'em in like a champ!
On our all-day trips, we'll show you the tricks of the trade that consistently put fish in the boat. Depending on the season and what's biting, we might start off trolling for white bass along underwater ridges, using our electronics to pinpoint schools of fish. For crappie, we often employ a technique called "spider-rigging," where we'll set up multiple rods off the front of the boat to cover more water. When the catfish are active, we might anchor up and use cut bait or stink bait to entice those whiskered giants. And for yellow bass, light tackle and small jigs often do the trick. We're always adapting our approach based on what the fish are telling us, and we'll teach you how to read the signs and become a better angler. Don't be surprised if you pick up some new skills that'll have your fishing buddies back home green with envy!
White Bass: These hard-fighting fish are a blast to catch and often travel in large schools. They typically range from 1-3 pounds, with the lake record pushing 4 pounds. Spring is prime time for white bass as they make their spawning runs up the tributaries, but we catch them year-round. They're known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps – perfect for anglers who love a good fight on light tackle.
Crappie: Often called "slabs" for good reason, Lake Ray Hubbard is home to some hefty crappie. These tasty panfish can grow up to 2 pounds or more, with most keepers in the 10-14 inch range. They're especially active in the spring and fall, often found around submerged brush piles and standing timber. Crappie are a favorite for many because they're both fun to catch and delicious to eat – nothing beats a fresh crappie fry!
Catfish: Channel cats and blue cats are the main players in Lake Ray Hubbard, with some real monsters lurking in the depths. We've seen channel cats up to 15 pounds and blues that can top 50 pounds or more! These whiskered bottom-feeders are active year-round but really turn on during the warmer months. They put up a stubborn fight and are perfect for anglers looking to tangle with something big.
Yellow Bass: Often overlooked but always fun to catch, yellow bass (or "barfish" as some locals call them) are abundant in Lake Ray Hubbard. They typically run smaller than white bass, averaging 6-10 inches, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and taste. These feisty little fighters often school up with white bass, providing non-stop action when you find them. They're especially good eating, with sweet, white flesh that's a hit at any fish fry.
There's something special about fishing Lake Ray Hubbard that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the thrill of watching your rod tip suddenly dive as a big catfish takes the bait. Or the excitement of reeling in a stringer full of tasty crappie for dinner. Perhaps it's the peaceful moments between catches, watching the sun rise over the water as you sip your morning coffee. Whatever it is, our all-day trips give you plenty of time to soak it all in. We've had families create annual traditions around these trips, and solo anglers who've become regulars, always chasing that next personal best. With our knowledge of the lake and top-notch equipment, you're set up for success every time you step on the boat.
