This morning’s trip had to reschedule for September, but since the boat was ready and the wind was just right, I decided to head out for a little scouting and to check some new spots. Glad I did — we boated 25 by 8:50 AM, including one of the biggest white bass the Chums boat has ever seen!

For our third August trip in a row, I had the pleasure of taking Tony Aguinaga out for a solo trip today. His son has been asking for some fish to eat, so Tony wanted to stock up the freezer before his boy’s visit next weekend.

I gave him a little solo discount, and we went catching! By 9:15 AM, Tony had his limit in the box, plus a few bonus fish.

He’s excited to come back soon — next time with his son, who’s about to turn 10.

All fish were caught casting — no trolling needed!

Today I had the pleasure of taking Joe Wood from Mabank and his three grandkids out on the lake before the kids head back to school. The cooler weather and last night’s rain had the fish fired up, and the action didn’t disappoint — with plenty of doubles and even some triples!

The kids were conservation-minded, deciding they only needed about 60 fillets for a big family fish fry. We kept 40 fish to be sure everyone gets a plate and released the rest to fight another day. They told me this was the most fish they’d ever caught with their grandpa — a memory they’ll never forget!

Today I had the pleasure of taking out Matthew Soto and his two sons, Jovanni (11) and Julian (7). Earlier this summer, they went on a fishing charter in Mexico but didn’t catch a single fish to keep — and their dad said they’ve never had much luck on past trips. Well, we changed that today!

The boys boated more fish than they’ve ever caught in a single day in their lives! The bite stayed steady until about 10:30, and by then they had their limit of sand bass to take home and enjoy. They released plenty more to catch another day.

Jovanni and Julian did an awesome job — and the best part? Not a single fish was caught trolling! Just good, hands-on fishing. Matthew reeled in some priceless summer memories with his boys today!

Awesome news!

Today I had the pleasure of taking Mark and his awesome crew—Brylie (16), Jordyn (11), and Logan (9)—out on Lake Tawakoni for a summer fishing trip they won’t soon forget!

Even in this Texas heat, the bite stayed strong for over 3 hours! These kids could fish—reeling in doubles, triples, and even a few quadruples!

We stayed active the whole time, casting and jigging—no trolling in slow circles for tiny fish here! Every catch was a hard-fighter, and this family made some unforgettable memories!

Today’s trip was something special.

I had the pleasure of taking out Yoseph and Michael, two 18-year-olds from Wylie, TX, who were determined to end their summer on a high note. A month ago, they had booked a senior trip to Lake Texoma—but it didn’t go as planned. The lake was 17 feet high and muddy, and their guide didn’t offer to reschedule or cancel. After a half day on the water, they’d only caught two catfish. Needless to say, they left feeling disappointed.

But instead of giving up, these young men spent the summer mowing yards and saving up for one more shot—this time on a different lake, with one goal: “We just want to catch a bunch of fish and bring home a mess to eat.”

Challenge accepted.

We hit the sand bass for the third day in a row, and by 10:15 a.m., they had hit their limit of 50! 😳

They told me it was the most fish they’d ever caught in one day—and from the smiles on their faces, I believe it.

It was an awesome morning, and I’m glad they got to make some unforgettable memories before summer ended!

Today I took James Payne, and his wife of 30 years out fishing on a very hot Tawakoni. The bite slowed a little bit from yesterday, but they still managed to put their limit of 50 in the boat by 10:30! With several doubles. Still not having to troll for any of our fish, but with the heat setting in and fish not pulling in as good, it might be getting close!
