    11 year old schooled his Papa.

    Andy and Reagan have a truly enterprise format. From the multiple covered docks, vegetation for huge array of species to thrive, and their customer service is above reproach. This morning without a reservation (several other places we planned to fish didn't have any activity). Having Grandson and his dad only in town for a short period; wanted a good catch. Moby Dick's catch and release is exactly our format. We caught countless hand size bluegill. The grandson tipped the scale for a 1.75 lb largemouth; the winner of day. Son-in-law landed a 5-6 lb largemouth. There is more to this story. Lol. Had him grasped for lifting out of water and he had just enough fight in him for one last flip. Back in pond he went before picture. We did get a pic of grandson's catch. Andy and Reagan we will definitely be back. Thanks again. Respectfully, Joshua and his gang.

    Happy fisherman

    It's was time for something fresh and something new for my sons 11th birthday, it was time to get him and his friends out into nature and moby dicks didn't disappoint. We had 11 5th graders here for a birthday party and everyone caught 5 or more fish in 2 hours. The biggest catch was a 15lb catfish. Andy and Reagan were excellent hosts and had everything taken care of for us, we just showed up and started reeling in the fun.

    Wonderful fishing experience for kids and adults alike. Reagan and Andy are very kind and accommodating. They keep their premises clean, friendly, and most importantly well stocked of fish. Definitely coming back soon!!!

    First time fishing experience for my 5 and 7 year old kids. They had a wonderful time. Such gorgeous lake and surrounding nature. Andy and his family were so very accommodating we wanted to take them to dinner afterwards! We caught so many fish! Our 5 year old was blown away at his 2lb catfish. Rates were super affordable! But bring extra water. Perfect conclusion to our Austin vacation. Ed

    This place is a hidden gem! So relaxing and your guaranteed not only a catch but a relaxing great time. The owners are so hospitable and kind. This is definitely a place my family and I will continue to make memories at. Thank you so much for opening up your gates and allowing us to come have an amazing time!

    Not kept up whatsoever, multiple things were knocked over and untouched. Can tell there hasn't been many people coming here for obvious reasons. All we saw were tiny little blue gill, no bites at all. The "docks" were completely makeshift out of roof shingles and various other unsafe items. Assuming the owner was who we spoke with, said she would text us over liability waivers to sign before we went out fishing and never received them. I guess they are lucky we didn't fall through their makeshift bull crap docks. Place is a complete joke, not worth the money.

    We were a party of about 15 people and over half of us caught fish! Several people caught multiple fish. The staff was very friendly and helpful as they drove around the pond to help us all out. Most of us used their poles but the staff helped me set up my own, guiding me through the proper hook, weight, etc. I learned a great deal from the staff about fishing for catfish and I can't wait to go back!

    First bass, caught within the first 10 minutes.

    I brought the kids out here at the end of last week and we had a great time. We caught several bass, a good sized catfish and one of the biggest crappie I've ever seen! The owner was nice, helpful, and even brought more minnows directly to us!

    Great place to go fishing. You don't have to bring anything. Friendly owners. Peaceful atmosphere. Loved it!

    Birthday bass for my grandson! Look at that smile, priceless!

    I'll be the first to admit that I'm not much of a fisherman but with Andy's help my sons both reeled multiple fish.

We met her in Bob Bryant Park, and she quickly shuttled us to the river. She even took photos for us on the water. She was late to pick us up for the shuttle but was very nice and compensated us for it.

It was our first time kayaking & we didn't know what to expect on the river but Linda quickly put us at ease. She was very knowledgeable about the river & explained how to navigate it & things to look out for. We were shuttled to the launch site, given a quick lesson on how to hold & use the paddles & we were on our way. Despite the heat, the river was pretty cool (glad we brought insulated water bottles & a cooler with snacks). It was peaceful & the water was calm & we made it to the end without tipping over. We saw lots of turtles, birds, even a few cows taking a dip. At the end two huge blue herons flew across the river right in front of us...it was a great experience & we can't wait to do it again. Highly recommend this company- the reservation process was easy (we just called the day before) & the everything was provided (dry bags & life vests included), the price is very reasonable & the local knowledge was exceptional.

Bruce is the real deal--a great American, incredibly knowledgeable, and one of the friendliest owners you'll meet. His store is fantastic, with a selection that is consistently the best in town. The inventory is top-notch: high-quality firearms, excellent variety, and something for just about everyone, from everyday shooters to serious collectors. You never know what you'll find--sometimes there are real rare pieces and specialty items that you just don't see elsewhere. Please also check out his website mansfieldfirearms.com where you can find great deals This place has that classic local shop feel, but with standout stock and service that punches way above its weight. Don't drive through Bastrop without checking it out--you'll likely walk away impressed. Five stars all around. Please support local, community-owned stores like this one. Highly recommended! Thank you, Bruce! Keep up the great work.

I used Mansfield FFL to ship my rifle from GAB. Also,Bruce will also tell me what he has in stock but is not pushy, so I never felt intimidated to purchase. I have even taken my wife with me and let her try a few handguns for fit and comfort. Bruce didn't have what she was looking for this time. She was looking for an easy slide to rack but all those in stock were too difficult, so he recommended a different. However, not in stock but personally call when he has in stock so she come hold the pistol and make sure it works. She also purchase a beautiful homemade cutting board from the shop. Highly Recommend Mansfield Arms!!!

For a weekend morning we were happy to snag a spot and made our way down to the rental area. You can decide on single vs double kayaks or paddleboards and rent by the hour. We decided on an hour of double kayak and thoroughly enjoyed our time out on the water. They have plenty of life vests and the staff were helpful in helping us get in and out of the kayak. It's a gorgeous lake and on a hot summer day was nice and cool on the water. Great opportunity to get some exercise in while looking at the beautiful vegetation up and down the lake. Highly recommend!

    We were excited to go paddle boating, but the experience was extremely disappointing…read more The lake had so much algae that it wrapped around the paddle boat's propeller every few seconds, making it incredibly difficult to move. Instead of enjoying our time on the water, we spent most of it stopping to remove algae just so we could keep going. My biggest issue isn't the algae itself--nature happens. My issue is that the staff never warned us about the lake conditions before renting us the paddle boats. If we had known the algae was bad enough to make paddling this difficult, we never would have rented them. On top of that, one of our paddle boats had a broken piece on the hatch used to access the propeller. I personally had to go over and help my sister because she couldn't properly open and close it to remove the algae. Every time the propeller got wrapped up again, it made the process even more frustrating. I explained the situation to an employee and pointed out the broken piece. Instead of offering a solution, I was told there was nothing they could do and that she just needed to keep removing the algae and paddle her way back to the dock. Later, when she was still struggling, we were told it would cost $50 for someone to come tow or assist her. Because we were moving so slowly due to the algae, we ended up spending more time on the lake than expected and were charged an additional $16 for another 30 minutes. That extra charge could have been avoided if we had simply been told about the lake conditions before renting the boats. Instead of taking our concerns seriously, the response was essentially, "It's better in the spring." If that's the case, then customers should be told about the current lake conditions before they're charged. We could have chosen a different activity instead of paying for an experience that turned into a struggle from start to finish. Honest communication and properly maintained equipment would have made all the difference.
