Meet your captain

A great guide. An even better day.

Carl Bostick has fished Lake Conroe for over 20 years, and he still gets fired up every time a rod bends. He knows where the fish are holding, what they’re eating, and how to get a first-timer hooked up fast.

He’s patient with kids, easy-going with beginners, and happy to talk shop with seasoned anglers. Safety comes first, so families are always welcome aboard the Miss Donna.

Fishing Lake Conroe

Anything in the lake. We’ll find what’s biting.

Lake Conroe sits about an hour north of Houston off I-45, and it’s one of the best fisheries in Texas. Trips leave from Seven Coves Marina in Willis — easy to reach from Conroe, Montgomery, The Woodlands and Houston.

We fish for every species in the lake — bass, crappie, hybrids, bream and catfish. Tell Carl what you want to catch and he’ll go after it as long as you want, with a backup plan built around whatever is biting best that day.

Still wondering about something? Call Carl at (936) 718-7983.

How many people can come?

Our 24-foot boat fits 1 to 7 guests on one trip, plus the captain. Trip prices include 2 people, and each extra guest is $50 (half-day) or $75 (full-day). For groups bigger than 7, we can arrange extra boats.

What’s included?

We furnish all the bait, the tackle and all the safety equipment, plus rods if you need them. The boat is about one-third covered by a Bimini top for shade. Fish cleaning is optional: a third-party service at the marina can clean your catch for an extra fee.

Do I need a fishing license?

Yes — every fishing guest 17 or older needs a current Texas fishing license. Kids under 17 don’t. Texas also has a free fishing day on the first Saturday in June, when no license is needed.

What should I bring?

A Texas fishing license for anyone 17 or older, your drinks and snacks, an ice chest to take your fish home, and clothes for the day’s weather. Carl takes care of the rest.

Is it kid-friendly?

Absolutely. Carl loves taking first-timers and kids out. He’ll show everyone how to bait, cast and reel in.

Where do we meet?

Seven Coves Marina, 6989 Kingston Cove Ln, Willis, TX 77318. You’ll get trip details when you book.

How do deposits and payments work?

A $100 deposit is due when you book online. The remaining balance is due 24 hours before your trip starts. We accept all major cards, Apple Pay, cash, Venmo, Zelle and Cash App.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes. Digital gift cards from $100 can be bought online and arrive as a printable certificate with a code. They work on any fishing trip or lake tour and never expire. See gift cards.

What if the weather is bad?

The captain always makes the safety call. If weather makes a trip unsafe, you can reschedule at no charge, and guests traveling from outside the Lake Conroe area may have the trip refunded on a bad-weather day. You can also reschedule for any reason up to 5 days before your trip. Full details are in our Terms of Service.
