Additional Information

Overview:

Rick Ransom Guide Service provides guided striper fishing trips on Lake Buchanan, located on the Highland Lakes in Central Texas.  Buchanan is a big lake and its known for excellent striper fishing. The trick is knowing how and where  to catch them, that's where an experienced guide can help. I've been fishing Lake Buchanan since 1985 and have been working as a full- time striper guide since 1992.

I have been a fisherman for 40 years and enjoy showing people how to catch fish.  I fish with live bait, either drifting or anchored. Striper fishing on Lake Buchanan is generally good year round, with August and September being the slowest months. What time of day is up to you - we do morning, afternoon or full day trips. Limits on striper  are 5 fish, 18" or longer per person.

We provide everything you need, bait, rods & reels and filet and bag your catch. The only thing you'll need to take care of are food & drinks, and of course an ice chest to carry your catch home.   Be sure you bring your current, valid  Texas fishing license . Kids under 17 can fish without a license. 

Our boat is a 2005 270cc Seapro powered by twin 255hp Hondas.  The boat is equipped with a large t-top for shade, Lorance LCX 104 fish finder, and a head for the ladies and accommodates up to 6 people.    

Lake Buchanan is the largest of the Texas Highland Lakes at 22,300 acres.  Located west of the town of Burnet, on the Colorado River, it is known throughout the Texas Hill Country for its excellent striped bass fishing. Other fish species include white bass, largemouth bass, catfish and crappie.  

I work out of Paradise Point Resort in Tow, but will pick up at most resorts on Lake Buchanan. Please contact me to make arrangements.
