Striper Fishing Guide Service Lake Buchanan

Striped Bass fishing at it’s best – since 1985!

I have been a striper fishing guide on Lake Buchanan for over 38 years. I have caught more trophy stripers than any other guide service on the Lake and my clients have caught 2 lake Buchanan striper records from my boat! Originally I primarily guided for Striped Bass. Currently though we catch a variety of fish from Stripers to Hybrid Striped bass, White Bass, Black Bass, Cat Fish etc.  I fish out of a 25 Ft. Tidewater center console boat with twin 135 Honda motors equipped with all the latest electronics.

Anyone can make wild claims on their website, but take a look at my fish gallery photos. As they say “a picture is worth a thousand words”.

 

 

 

For my clients, I supply everything except food, drinks and personal items and I will clean and bag your catch for you. Striper fishing on Lake Buchanan is typically good year-round – even periods when the lake is “down”, the fish can actually be easier to catch! (keep this in mind during the next drought period!) Why you ask? The fish are there, but there is less water for them to hide in!

Typically the lake fluctuates every year, but I am constantly fishing and checking conditions on Lake Buchanan so that I can maximize your fishing fun and give you a great, productive trip.

I fish Lake Buchanan in central Texas, one of the lakes in the “Highland Lakes” chain on the Colorado River outside of Burnet, Texas.

During the low lake conditions as we have at this time, the fishing actually improves by having less water in the lake. It concentrates the fish and makes them easier to find and catch.

 

If you’re looking for an unforgettable Striped Bass fishing experience in Central Texas, booking a fishing trip with professional guide Fermin Fernandez on Lake Buchanan – is the best choices you can make. Lake Buchanan, the largest of the Highland Lakes, is well known for its excellent Striper and white bass fishing, as well as catfish, black bass and crappie. But the lake’s size and unique conditions can make it challenging to know where to start. That’s where an experienced fishing guide makes all the difference.

A knowledgeable Lake Buchanan fishing guide such as Capt. Fernandez doesn’t just take you out on the water – he brings years of local expertise, insider knowledge of fish behavior, and the latest techniques to give you the best chance at a successful trip. From knowing exactly when the striped bass are running to finding hidden schools of white bass, Fermin Fernandez has the tools and strategies to put you on fish fast. You’ll spend less time guessing and more time reeling in the kind of catches that make for great stories and even better meals.

Beyond the fishing, a professional guide ensures a safe, stress-free outing. They provide top-of-the-line gear, bait, and a fully equipped boat, so you can simply show up and focus on enjoying the day. Whether you’re an experienced angler looking to sharpen your skills or a first-time fisherman eager to learn, a guide like Capt. Fernandez can tailor the trip to your comfort level.

Most importantly, a guided trip on Lake Buchanan is about creating memories. Imagine watching the sunrise over the rolling Hill Country hills, feeling the excitement of a big striper on the line, and sharing laughter with friends or family. Fishing with a Lake Buchanan guide isn’t just about catching fish—it’s about experiencing the best of Central Texas outdoors.
