Catch Striper, Catfish, White Bass & More Year-Round in Central Texas

At Hundley’s Guide Service, we specialize in guiding anglers to the most sought-after game fish in Lake Whitney, Lake Granbury, and surrounding Central Texas waters. Our top target species include striped bass (stripers), white bass, blue and channel catfish, and the occasional largemouth bass. Each species offers a unique challenge and reward, whether you're chasing schooling stripers at sunrise or dropping baits for deep-water catfish. We guide trips for anglers of all skill levels, from first-timers to serious trophy hunters.

Striper fishing is best from March through early summer when these aggressive fish school up and feed heavily. White bass action peaks in late winter and spring, especially during their spawning run. Catfish are consistent year-round but bite strongest in the warmer summer months, making them a great target for family outings. Our team knows when and where to find each species based on real-time conditions, ensuring a productive trip no matter the season. Let us match the trip to your goals and help you land your personal best!

Whether you're after a cooler full of eaters or a wall-hanger trophy, we have the experience, equipment, and insider knowledge to put you on the fish. Now’s the best time to book a trip with Hundley’s Guide Service and experience the thrill of fishing these legendary Texas lakes. Let’s go catch something worth bragging about!
