​

Currently, the fish are hitting on small weighted Texas rigs or weightless worms with a slow weed-less presentation is best. Color seems to vary. Black and blue/ blue flake should be the color for this time of year. Motor oil and tomato red flake have about the same effect. They are changing patterns frequently because they are biting out of protecting beds and competitiveness. Black lizards with blue or chartreuse tails have also always been good on sunny days. The guide recently caught just a couple on top with a frog so if you are a die-hard top-water fisherman it’s an option but not very productive.  Chatter baits have also become successful and are yellow or white as well.  Mid-range divers are also good in certain lakes and frogs are always good for top water action fishing.

• Please note the arrival times above for your group.

• You do not need a fishing license to fish on Moody Ranch.

• Please park on the left side of Circle Drive in the guest parking area.

• You will be following the guide out in your vehicle to the lakeside so you will need to drive a truck or SUV that can handle off-road conditions.

• All guests will need to have filled out their waiver online using the links below noting that if you are planning to hunt with us this season please also put your hunting license in the hunting license section otherwise just write FISHING in that section instead to override that field.  This is only needed once a season between Sept-May for each guest.

• Please text the list of participants in your group to 936-825-2119 so we can confirm waivers.

• NO ALCOHOL IN THE FIELD.  Leave all coolers with Alcohol under the pavilion at the lodge.  We will take a small cooler with water for your excursion.

• Any participant under the age of 12 will need to bring their own flotation device. 

• Boats do not have seats. If you would like to sit during your excursion we encourage you to bring 1 or 2 small ballpark chairs to place on deck.

• Please bring your fishing rods, tackle, sunscreen, insect repellent, etc. Recommended baits are listed in the paragraph above.

• Bring a rain jacket in case there is a chance of rain in the forecast while you are here.  If it begins to storm with lighting we will end the excursion for safety reasons.

• At this time we are allowing a certain number of fish per person to be taken.  These fish must be cleaned by the guide at the lodge.  We do not allow you to take home whole fish without MRO processing and cleaning them before your departure.

• Gratuities and fishing cleaning are not included on your invoice unless you wish to add them.  Most fisherman prefer to tip their guides personally at the end of their excursion.  Guide tips usually start around $50 per person and go up from there.  Bass cleaning is $2.50 per fish. If you have additional questions please contact our office.
