Redfish
The heart of every Calaveras and Braunig trip — soft plastics, swim baits, down rigging when the lake demands it. Trophy reds and full limits.
Bones Fishing Guide Service
Fourteen years on Texas freshwater — Calaveras, Braunig, Canyon Lake, and waters beyond. A day built around limits, laughter, and fish on ice by sundown.
On my pathway of chasing my dreams of fishing, I earned the Freshwater Elite Angler Award — one of twenty-five certified across the State of Texas. My job is simple: put you on some fish.
A Life on the Water
Fishing with my father as a boy created memories I still carry. Those mornings on the bank — conversation, silence, the strike — shaped everything that followed. I knew someday the water would be my livelihood.
Today I guide families, companies, and groups who want more than a boat ride. They want a safe, focused, productive day with someone who reads the lake like a manuscript. San Antonio’s twin lakes are home. When the bite moves, we follow it to Canyon, the Guadalupe, the Nueces, or Choke Canyon.
“Bones Fishing Guide Service” exists to give you and your guests a day you will talk about for years.
The heart of every Calaveras and Braunig trip — soft plastics, swim baits, down rigging when the lake demands it. Trophy reds and full limits.
Monsters over twenty pounds on troll and rig. A boat-load of blues and reds in a single four-hour window is not uncommon.
Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe — June through October, and again February into April when the stripers turn on.
The spring run on the Nueces and Choke Canyon. Wade the river in late January when the water is low and the bite is furious.

San Antonio’s twin lakes — year-round production, redfish and cats, the water I know best.

When San Antonio slows, we chase stripers and whites in Hill Country current.

Out of town, wild country, fantastic white bass — sometimes crappie when the water cooperates.
