I bought a half-day trip as a birthday gift for my wife. I don’t have experience myself, but Tyler walked us through the process step by step. He knew a lot about the area and and gave great fishing tips. It was a lot of fun that my wife couldn’t stop talking fishing long after we left the boat. We both now have the fishing bug. Thanks Tyler. :)

My sons and I had a great trip with Tyler yesterday. We have a lot of experience fishing and have been on dozens of guided trips and from start to finish Tylers service is in the top 1%, impressive and professional. His boat and fishing equipment is top notch from tackle to state of the art fishfinding electronics. Tyler is extremely knowledgeable and was helpful giving us tips to optimize our fishing success but we also had a great time on the lake hanging out with him because he is such a great guy to spend a day with. He would be perfect for novice anglers or expert fishermen. I bet he is great with kids too!And yes, Tyler put us on the fish! When one spot started to become unproductive he moved us to a new spot. We cant recommend Tyler more highly for a fun time and tight lines!

Had an excellent time with Tyler! Was looking for a good educational experience for my 9 yr old son. Tyler had my son catching nice sized bass within minutes of handing him the rod. Taught us both a lot. Highly recommended!!

If you are going to fish Lake Travis, with a guide, would suggest you look no farther than Tyler Torwick. He has a good knowledge on how to fish the lake & his electronics & equipment are superior. Well worth the time & price!

Fishing with Tyler was awesome! I went with myself and two other people and we caught fish consistently the entire time on the water. Each one of us who went caught a species we’ve never landed before. He was also a super knowledgeable guide and cool guy to be around which I find important for an 8 hour trip. I’ve been fishing with other guides in the Austin area before but I’m pretty sure I will book with Tyler again for whatever my next trip ends up being!

Amazing afternoon of fishing on Lake Travis! I wanted to take my ten year old twins out on their first real fishing trip, and Tyler was the perfect choice. Were new to the area, and this was such a great, positive experience for them. Tyler helped my kids learn the basics of fishing - they were both casting and reeling in bass within minutes. Dad learned some tips and caught a few too! :) Thanks Tyler - we cant wait to do it again!

Went fishing with Tyler today and could not ask for a better guide to go with. Very knowledgeable and first class man and first class equipment. Fishing conditions were tough but we managed to catch a nice mess of bass of which all were released. I would recommend Tyler to anyone for a great day on the water. Thanks Travis

We had a great time fishing with Tyler. My coworker and I booked this charter about 16 hrs before we went. Tyler was ready to go and had us on the fish quickly. My coworker had little to no bass fishing experience and Tyler had him catching fish in no time. We booked a half day and caught twice as much as I did on a full day with another charter on Lake Travis. Great service and Id definitely use this service again.

We had a great time fishing with Tyler. Extremely knowledgeable of the lake and where to fish and what to use. We caught some variety of bass and got to see some species we don’t have in Michigan. I highly recommend Tyler’s Guise Service. Thank you Tyler!!!

Me, my wife and my 12 year old daughter chose a morning fishing trip on Lake Travis a couple weeks ago and we had an amazing morning of fishing. Tyler was ready and on time, took us to some great spots on the lake where in 4 hours we caught over 20 fish. My daughter caught 10 by herself. All fish were in the 2-5lb range. Tyler handle snags, netted fish and made the trip a lot of fun and very productive! We highly recommend him if you are wanting a great day of fishing!

We just had the best half day fishing trip with Torwicks Guiding Service.We took our young children, and we all learned so much. Tyler was so kind and patient, and his equipment and electronics are the best of the best. I can’t believe we many fish we caught in the dead of summer! Largemouth Bass, Guadeloupe Bass and White Bass.What a treat to have this much fun in Lake Travis!

I booked a half day trip for the evening for myself and my 13-year old daughter with Tyler through his website. Super easy to book and Tyler responded with a confirmation within 24 hours.We are both fishing novices so I told Tyler that we as interested in learning about the sport as we were catching fish. Luckily we got to do both. Tyler was the perfect guide to patiently teach us how to fish each location from tracking the depth of our bait to casting. He also shows his knowledge and experience that makes him a great guide for anglers with much more skill. I highly recommend him and will book him again the next time we are in the area.

My sons & I recently took a trip with Tyler and had a great experience. Tyler was very good at teaching us about how to fish the lake and I appreciated that very much. We caught more fish than we expected and enjoyed the the time with Tyler. He is a fine young man and knows his trade very well. I will be back next spring for the spawn and would not use anyone but Tyler. Highly recommend Tyler for anyone who wants an enjoyable day of great fishing.

Tyler is great! My son and I had a great day fishing on Lake Travis. Tyler is a wonderful teacher and he is also a great fisherman. We caught a lot of fish and Tyler was friendly and loved explaining what we were doing and why. He has a great boat and excellent equipment. We could not have had a better day of fishing!

Tyler took my son and I out for a great day of fishing on Walter E. Long Lake. Tyler is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain fishing strategies and techniques. His boat and gear are top notch allowing him to put us on fish within 10 minutes of our departure. Anyone looking for a nice day on the water with a friendly, down to earth guide should definitely give Tyler a call.

Tyler was absolutely phenomenal at teaching my son and I about bass fishing and he put us right on the fish. Tyler was very patient teaching my son how to cast, where to cast and how to work the rig which led to catching a 5.5 lb bass. We caught so many fish and had a blast. Definitely a top memorable experience in the books for us.

We had an amazing time on our half day guided fishing trip. Easy to book online and Tyler confirmed everything with us the day before.Tyler gave us a quick lesson on using the rods and we started catching fish right away. On our final minutes of the trip we even landed a 13lb Bass! It was an unforgettable catch!We will definitely book again!

Captain Tyler was on time prepared and clearly experienced, and worked hard to put me on fish all day. We caught plenty of large mouth and Guadalupe Bass. (Which was on my bucket list), and left them biting. Very knowledgeable and patient, would be great with kids or experienced anglers. I would highly recommend and will book again.

Tyler was excellent. He guided us through Lake Travis and explained why we were where we were, why the fish where in those spots, as well as the best lures and techniques to use. We had fun catching quite a few fish, but it was also educational for all of us. Tyler even spent the extra time with my son to make sure he got the most out of the experience. It was a great day, and we will definitely go out with Tyler again!

I booked a half day evening trip with my 7 year old son. Tyler was on time at our meeting spot and was very patient with my son...and probably me. My son can’t stop talking about the trip and how many bass he caught. Will book again and highly recommend.

Tyler was able to accommodate my family with sort notice and we spent a wonderful morning with him. My two girls (under the age of 10) enjoyed the trip immensely and Tyler did a great job keeping them engaged in the fishing, outdoors, and having fun.I have been fortunate to fish with guides at many premier destinations but never valued using one in my own backyard... I learned a lot from Tyler about a lake I have had a house on for years. In hindsight I could have had just as much fun/ education fishing with him here in Texas at a fraction of the cost of other trips. Lesson learned and I look forward spending more time on the water with him.

Review №35

Like many others have said, Tyler is a superb guide who will do everything humanly possibly to put fish in the boat. On a tough late summer day, my friend and I caught 2 dozen bass! We were both expecting far less fish. Beyond that, Tyler was a wealth of information if you are interested in learning the tips and tricks that will make you a successful angler. For me, I hadnt fished much since I was a kid, and was looking to get back into the hobby. I hit the jackpot with Tyler. He taught me everything there is to know about the drop shot, and I have since caught a huge number of bass throughout the greater Austin area (using his recipe for success). Hes also a very personable guy. I highly recommend Tyler if you are interested in an enjoyable time on the water, catching fish, and learning as much as youd like to know about fishing. Looking forward to another trip with Tyler to take it to the next level!

I’m a Salt Water fisherman but recently bought a Skeeter bass boat and recently moved to a house on Lake Travis in Hudson Bend. I invested in a full day trip with Tyler because I had heard so many good things about him, especially his willingness to teach clients the fine points of Texas bass fishing and tricks of the trade from his career as a competitive angler. My grandson and I were thrilled with our time on the water with Tyler. He has a charming demeanor and passion to teach his clients how to catch more bass. I’ve fished all over the world and Tyler ranks at the top of a long list of professionals guides and charter captains I’ve spent time with. You cannot go wrong with this young fellow.

Tyler took myself, my 6 year old daughter and my 4 year old son out fishing on Lake Travis. We just moved here from London and we were completely new to fishing. Tyler was amazing with the kids. We caught heaps of fish including two good sized bass. Tyler made the whole experience very easy and fun and he was very good with the children. If you want an excellent guide to Lake Travis who can teach you all the ropes to fishing (as a complete newbie) then Tyler is your man. I highly recommend him and we will be back again. Thanks so much for the experience Tyler! We had an awesome time and it was totally worth the money. Thanks Tyler!

Review №38

My friend and I went out with Tyler on Lake Travis. Tough time of year to be on the water, but that was exactly why we wanted his expertise. A pretty harsh cold front blew through while we were on the water, but we still managed to land some nice ones, thanks to him. 80F when we started and only 53F when we finished, but all in all, it was a really good day. Anyone can catch on a good day, but only the best can do it on volatile conditions like today.We would book him again in a heartbeat, given that different seasons/conditions call for different approaches.Honestly, could not be more pleased, especially given the complete change of conditions.

Can not say enough great things about this trip. He knew all the best stops to fish. We caught 17 bass in total! The greatest thing about the trip though was how great Tyler was with my 8 year old daughter. This was her time fishing on a boat and she is absolutely hooked for life! Will definitely being going out with Tyler again this summer! Hands down the best fishing guide on Lake Travis! Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

I am not a good fisherman at all. Trying to identify the correct tackle for the right fish, that’s a struggle. I like traveling to Austin, Texas for many reasons...number one is fishing with Tyler on lake Travis. Every time I fish with him, not only do I get a plethora of great fishing information, I have a blast! From the trips I have taken, I always catch fish and enjoy the comfy boat features. Tyler has the right high end gear, technology, and boat to make each trip superb.

Tyler was a great guide. I went out with him on a half day trip recently on Lake Travis, and he took the time to explain all of the techniques we were using in great detail, and I learned a ton in the process. We also caught a lot of fish, so many that I stopped counting. All this in seriously inclement weather (cold wind, chop, rain etc). He is very knowledgeable and a great resource for anyone looking to pick up tips and tricks for targeting bass. I would definitely go on another trip with him in a heartbeat.

Absolutely fantastic. Best guide I have ever used, very knowledgeable, and willing to teach you anything you want to learn. Hes incredibly personable and will put you on fish, no doubt about it. I have fished my whole life and still learned an incredible amount. Highly recommend for beginners or even experienced anglers that want to gain more knowledge.

Tyler took my 15 year old son and I out on Lake Travis for some Spring fishing on a Sunday evening - we had a fantastic time and caught Aton of fish. He taught us about the lake, the fish, and was very patient showing my son the in’s and outs of all the equipment. Do you know anything about black bass eyelids? I didnt before this trip and wouldnt have thought Id ever care but it turns out with Tyler you learn a lot of practical things about the fish that help you understand their behavior and how to catch them. Not only did we learn, but he knew exactly where the fish were and did a great job putting us on the fish, and focusing on keeping us productive and fishing. It was an awesome time and Id recommend Tyler to anyone looking to catch a lot of fish and have a great time in the process.

I booked a trip with Tyler to learn more about summertime patterns and techniques on Lake Travis. Tyler is very knowledgeable about both and I learned a ton of great information from him. Tyler takes the time to explain all the whats & whys along the way in order to make you a better fisherman. From gear to knots to electronics and lures, Tyler is a great angler and teacher. - Scott Palmer
