Chasing Texas Giants on Massive Wild Reservoirs

The only guide service specializing in using European angling tactics to target Smallmouth Buffalo and Common Carp in massive East Texas Reservoirs.

CarpPro Texas Guide Service is owned and operated by Austin Anderson. Austin is 22 years old and has lived in Texas for his entire life. Austin is currently a student at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas which is located in the land of GIANT fish, the East Texas pineywoods region. Austin lives only minutes from Sam Rayburn and less than an hour from Toledo Bend, with the most well known lake in Texas, Lake Fork, a mere 2 hours away. Austin is currently majoring in Forestry and Wildlife Management at SFA, and participates in Collegiate Bass Fishing on the College BASS, FLW College Fishing, and BoatUS College trails, as well as being the President of the SFA Bass Club. Austin prides himself in being an all-around multispecies angler, and in addition to angling for carp and buffalo, Austin is an accomplished fly fisherman, enjoys kayak fishing and fishing for everything (even carp) from his Nitro bass boat, and often targets trophy-class Texas giants such as alligator gar, redfish and catfish.

Despite his young age, Austin has been fishing for his entire life. He was introduced to the sport at a very early age due to the passion of his grandfather, who fueled the fire for Austin’s obsessive love for nature, the environment, and especially fish. Austin has been fishing for carp and buffalo for 12 years, and has been employing European tactics, including bite alarms, rod pods, and distance casting rods and reels, for 8 years. During this time, Austin has built an impressive resume capturing countless massive smallmouth buffalo, common carp, mirror carp and other species.Austin credits much of his angling success to his apprenticeship with the late, great American carp fishing legend Richard Somerville, who previously guided on Lake Fork. Through Richard, Austin was noticed by American fishing company BaitPro and became part of their respected Pro-Staff in 2012. Austin’s relationship with CarpPro has allowed him to travel to fish tournaments in Texas, the Carolinas, and New York.

CarpPro Texas Guide Service was established in 2014 and aims at introducing people to the growing carp and buffalo angling scene in the United States, as well as providing unique angling opportunities targeting rough fish species such as Buffalo and Common Carp to anglers from Texas and abroad, from all experience levels. Currently there are only a handful of carp anglers that live east of Houston, and very few people are able to travel the distances and spend the time necessary for catching the biggest carp and buffalo in Texas. Through his guide service, Austin hopes to make more opportunities available to these anglers as well as anglers who wish to travel from abroad to catch buffalo for the first time.
