This hidden gem is teeming with trophy-sized bucketmouths just waiting to smash your lure. Whether you're a seasoned pro or picking up a rod for the first time, our expert guides will put you on the fish and show you the tricks to landing that wall-hanger.

What to Expect on the Water

Hop aboard our fully-rigged bass boat for a morning or afternoon of non-stop action. We'll cruise Henderson's 2,800 acres, hitting prime spots like submerged timber, weed edges, and deep points where the big girls like to hang out. Our local guides know this lake like the back of their hand and will share inside tips on presentation, retrieve speeds, and seasonal patterns to maximize your chances of hooking up. With a max of 3 anglers per trip, you'll get plenty of personalized attention and room to cast. While we provide all the top-notch gear you need, feel free to bring your favorite setup if you prefer.

Top Catches This Season

Henderson Lake is no secret among serious bass anglers, producing multiple fish over 10 pounds each year. Our clients have been crushing it lately with a mix of finesse and power fishing techniques. Wacky-rigged Senkos have been money around docks and laydowns, while big swimbaits are drawing savage strikes on main lake points. Don't be surprised to hook into a few bonus species like crappie or catfish while targeting those bucket-mouths. The lake record largemouth stands at a whopping 15.5 pounds - could you be the one to top it?

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

It's not just about the fish (though they're pretty darn impressive). Our half-day trips offer the perfect blend of serious fishing and laid-back fun. Soak in the scenic shoreline dotted with cypress trees while you wait for that next bite. Trade fish stories with your guide and learn some local history. And when that drag starts screaming, get ready for an adrenaline rush like no other as you battle a Henderson Lake giant to the boat. Whether it's your first time holding a rod or you're a tournament pro, our guides tailor the experience to your skill level, ensuring everyone has a blast on the water.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: The undisputed king of Henderson Lake, these green machines will test your skills and your tackle. Expect to tangle with plenty of solid 3-5 pounders, with a real shot at a true trophy in the 8-10 pound class. Spring and fall tend to be prime time as the big girls move shallow, but summer offers exciting topwater action at dawn and dusk. Largemouth here love to ambush prey around cover, so accurate casts to stumps, docks, and grass edges are key. Their aggressive strikes and acrobatic jumps make them an angler favorite.

While we target largemouth primarily, Henderson Lake holds some other worthy adversaries:

Crappie: Often called "papermouths" for their delicate jaws, these tasty panfish can be found in good numbers around brush piles and bridge pilings. Spring is the peak time as they move shallow to spawn, but savvy anglers can locate schools year-round. Light tackle and small jigs are the ticket for these speckled beauties.

Channel Catfish: Want to feel like you're hooked to a submarine? Henderson's channel cats grow big and fight hard. They're most active at night, but we occasionally hook into these whiskered brutes while bass fishing. Fresh cut bait on the bottom is cat candy if you want to target them specifically.
