My name is Tyler Torwick, I am a fishing guide here in Austin, TX. I offer all inclusive fully guided fishing trips in the Austin area. I guide on Lake Travis, Lake LBJ, Lake Decker and several other lakes in the Central Texas area.

Fishing tackle, rods, reels, etc. are all provided when you book a trip at no additional charge. The only thing you need to bring is a valid Texas fishing license. All rods and reels are top of the line Dobyns and Shimano. I pride myself in offering my clients high end fishing gear and not cheap “client setups.”

You will be fishing from a 2019 Skeeter FX21 bass boat powered by an ultra reliable and quiet Yamaha 250 SHO. My boat is equipped with the latest in electronics including the newest Humminbird Solix graphs and Ultrex trolling motor.

In addition to just catching fish I focus my trips around education. Any guide will teach you the basics like what to look for on a lake map and what baits to use during a certain time of the year. My coaching trips go way more in depth than that. We will spend the day fishing as if we were practicing for a tournament. I am an open book and will teaching you as much as we can fit into our trip. My specialities include offshore fishing, utilizing my electronic’s mapping and sonar to find fish, and how to pattern bass and not just fish “spots”. I guarantee you will leave with more confidence and tools to use the next time you are on the water by yourself.

My guided trips are family friendly too! I highly encourage my clients to bring their children and introduce them to the sport of bass fishing. Whether you are a novice just getting into bass fishing or a veteran looking to hone your skills I can help you become a better angler.

First let me give you a little background. My husband has fished with his dad all his life. He has taught our children and grandchildren how to fish. So, he is a skilled fisherman, although the fish finder is a skill he has NOT mastered. In Tyler’s video he states, “he will teach how to read electronics, find fish faster and get them to bite once you found fish.”
So, we booked a day with Tyler. In the pouring rain we met Tyler at 7 A.M. and started our fishing day. When the rain became too heavy to continue to fish, we ducked into a marina slip and took this time to learn about mastering skills of the fish finder. Tyler informed us of an app. to use on our phones so we would have maps of area lakes. He also brought up Lake Granbury (where we live) and showed us possible areas he would fish for largemouth bass.
When the rain let up and we were able to return to fishing Tyler mixed teaching and coaching to help us become better fishermen. We enjoyed our day in spite of the rain and would highly recommend Tyler to anyone visiting Lake Travis to book a trip with him.

Tyler is literally a walking knowledge bank. Went with him for a half day and he is extremely professional and friendly.

Shows you the lure, rod, line, and reel and describes specifically why we are using each one and how to use each one. Showed me how to fish in patterns and how to really pay attention to where you are fishing. He expanded my knowledge about fishing 10 fold.

It is awesome hearing it from someone who has actually competed in tournaments and competed at college level fishing at Auburn. He is hands down the best guide on Lake Travis and has a history of success. His boat is also awesome.

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. We’re 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 can’t wait to do it again!

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.

I was fortunate enough to have a buddy treat me to a fishing trip hosted by Tyler at Lake Travis. It was a top notch service from the start. We arrived about 10 minutes early and Tyler was already there waiting in the dock ready to start our day of fishing. Did I mention that this morning was during the cold front (~36°F) and Tyler was already there waiting for us?! That is what I call customer service, and making a first impression.

My buddy and I were both pretty new to this water, so Tyler gave us tips and tricks to improve our fishing experience and bettering our chances of landing a fish. He even gave us useful information that we could use on our own, whether we are going to be fishing with him or not in the future. Did I mention that he showed us some of his honey holes!

If you are either a novice or even an experienced fisherman/woman you can come enjoy the day either utilizing your own equipment or even Tyler’s. His boat is stocked and ready for all types of fishing environments and even has several rod setups so you may choose which one to use by your own comfort level. He helped us from rigging up our lures, netting and unhooking the fish, to even getting the lures unstuck!

This would be a great way to get your significant other/boyfriend/girlfriend/or even friends introduced to fishing. This a guaranteed way to show them a good time and have Tyler show them how to fish. He will give them a hands on class and lessons while you are enjoying catching your next PB! You don’t even need to worry about bringing any gear! All you need is a TX fishing license and maybe some snacks for your group.

*Tyler’s favorite food= Sonic’s $1 hot dogs & $5 hot and ready pepperoni pizza

My 12 year old grandson and I went on a four hour fishing trip with Captain Torwick. It was an awesome experience for both of us. The Captain was a terrific guide and coach for my grandson and he was very patient with me (I had not fished in 50 years.) We lost count of the number of fish we caught. It was so much fun! Thank you, Captain, for providing such a special memory for me and my grandson!

Highly recommend Tyler! Our family did a half day trip. Wasn’t sure how long we would last with a 2 and 4 year old and they enjoyed the entire trip! Tyler put us on several fish and he’s very patient, friendly and extremely knowledgeable of Lake Travis. Will definitely use Tyler for future guided trips.

Just had a great night of Striper fishing on Travis with Tyler. Not only did we catch some HUGE Striper, we also learned a lot about how to read our electronics. We had a great time! I would definitely recommend Tyler for any type of fishing trip you want,

Had a great time out on the lake with Tyler last weekend! He is so knowledgeable that he made it easy for a beginner like me to understand how to use each lure. He also was able to chat with my boyfriend (who fishes a lot) about different rods and reels, good places to fish, etc. Everyone caught fish and had a blast! Would definitely recommend taking a trip out with Torwick’s Guiding Services if you’re around the Austin area!

We had a fantastic day on Lake Travis today with Tyler. We caught 15 bass and one catfish. Tyler was extremely knowledgeable and so helpful in teaching us the right techniques. He knew several great spots to
fish, and he was very patient and kind. We learned so much and had a wonderful time. I highly recommend him as a fishing guide. His fishing gear was top notch and his knowledge was outstanding. We will definitely fish with him again.

Went out with Tyler yesterday for the first time as a gift from my wife for Fathers Day. Tyler was very knowledgeable, took the time to explain and answer any question that my father and I had and put us on some great bass! Tyler has a nice boat, great gear and tons of knowledge! Highly recommend going with Tyler wether you are experienced or a beginner you will have a great time. We plan on going again with him soon hopefully to get some striper!

Tyler was an awesome fishing guide. We had him as one of our guides during a bacherlor’s party. The two of us on his boat were total newbies to fishing, but he was very informative and taught us how to cast our line and the different techniques we can use to attract the fish based on the bait we were using. He was very patient with us, even when I caught the bait on multiple rocks, the shore, branches, and algae. We spent 6 hours with Tyler and he really made the time fly by. I highly recommend him for any fishing trip you may want to have in Austin, TX.

I would definitely recommend Torwick’s Guiding Service if you want to go fishing for some largemouth bass on Lake Travis. I booked a trip for my cousin’s birthday and it was the best gift I could have given him! He had a great time and caught a lot of fish, including his new personal best. Tyler was also great company and gave lots of helpful pointers about finding fish with his boat’s technology and what baits he uses. He lets you use his personal equipment – rods, reels, and tackle which are all the very best of quality. The trip also gave useful insight on where to find fish in the area for the future!

My husband and I took a half day/4 hour fishing trip. We had a great time. Tyler, our fishing guide, was very knowledgable about bass fishing, various lakes in the area, and different techniques. I would definitely recommend a guided fishing tour with Torwick’s.

I arranged for my dad to go fishing while visiting Austin TX. Tyler came highly recommended. He was so accommodating with everything, providing all the gear, absolutely everything needed. All dad had to do was show up. Dad said he had the time of his life and I got to see the pictures to prove it. My dad has been on the water and around boats all his life and was impressed with Tyler’s abilities and safety consciousness. They got to fish during the day and also after dark. I think he felt like a teenager again. I’m so glad Daddy got to do this, and I hope to be able to go with him next time.
