On Point Bass Guide Service

I found On Point Bass Guide Service at first light, when Lake Jackson looks like spilled silver and the whole world narrows to the tip of a rod. Captain Russell runs a no-nonsense operation: spotless center-console, top-tier rods and reels, and a practiced calm that turns beginners into fish-catchers. We ran live shiners until the cooler was full and the gloves were smelling like victory. There are true trophy moments here—a 7-pounder is common, an 11-pounder becomes legend—and the captain wears those moments like a craftsman who loves his work. Locals come for the precision and knowledge of the lake; visiting families and couples drift in for sunset cruises and manatee sightings with the same guide, same boat, different mood. This is community-minded fishing: teaching kids how to bait, showing visitors the marshes, and keeping the lake’s traditions alive. Book early, expect hands-on instruction, and leave with a story about the one that got away and the one you landed.
