Full-service, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable charter operator that made sure every member of the party was having a good time and had what they needed at all times to catch catfish.

My Dad and my two young sons did an afternoon 5-hour afternoon fishing charter and I wasn’t sure how the boys would hold out. Mr. Macik was personable and engaging with the kids, taking time to show them fishing techniques, and gentle in his guidance so the boys wanted to listen. A real teacher! Even taught them a few fish calls so we landed the 20 pound Hoover blue channel cat. Everyone was smiling and laughing from start to finish. My Dad got to telling all his fish stories.

Be sure to take the filets of your catch that Mr. Macik sends you off the boat with right over to North Lake Grill by the boat ramp at Stow-A-Way Marina and ask to have them fried up. Take good care of the tip jar there and enjoy the cleanest and freshest fish on Lake Conroe.

We’ve already booked our second charter - for my oldest son’s birthday!

Not being from this area we didn’t know which guide to choose.  We chose a great one!!
On a very cold day in January we ended up having a great time while catching Hybrid Stripers, Channel cat, and Blue catfish. 
James was awesome - put us on fish everywhere we fished.  He obviously knows this lake very well - and he is super friendly and fun to go out with. 
He has an obvious passion for making sure his clients have a great day out on the water regardless of the weather!!
Highly recommend James for anyone wanting a very fun and productive trip on Lake Conroe!!!

I recently booked my fishing trip through fish head water sports service. I can honestly say that we had excellent time. Captain James is an absolute gentleman. Whose prime goal is to make sure your fishing trip is worthwhile. He will take you multiple spots until you start catching fish. He took us to at least six different spots until we start catching fish. He knows the lake from back of his hand. I’m already looking to book my next fishing trip through him next month.

I’m from the Pacific Northwest and this was my first time fishing in Texas and first time hunting for catfish (I’m normally a Salmon/Steelhead guy). And WOW, what an experience!

Captain James knows Lake Conroe like the back of his hand and he just flat-out knows where to find the fish! He ought to after all; I understand he’s been fishing Lake Conroe ever since he was a kid.

Gorgeous day on the lake. The boat was outfitted with the latest electronics and had all the fishing gear and supplies we needed. We set out just after sunrise and within the first hour, we had a 29.5” long, 12.5 lbs. catfish in the boat!

Great experience. Not only is James professional, he is a total blast to fish with and, in my opinion, he is the epitome of southern Texas hospitality.

Next time I’m in Texas, I’ll definitely be fishing with Captain James again!

Excellent channel cat experience out on Lake Conroe in Willis, TX.  It was super easy to find and there are plenty of amenities available in the area.  The captain was super friendly and very knowledgeable of the area.  He had no problem getting us on the fish quickly.  And after the trip he quickly fillet and packed the fish.  I highly recommend using this guide and his services any time of the year.
