During a recent trip I had completed my open water diving certification. I had such a good time I…read morewas very eager to learn more about some of the different skills. After searching the local area I found Lake Travis Scuba. I contacted Robert and he assured me that they would be able to accommodate me at a beginner's level. The dives are all off of the Giant Stride. It allows for many dive sites options. The boat is able to carry 8 divers at a time along with the captain & 1st mate. Overall I very happy with my experience and hope to get out as much as possible.

Sunset was around the corner, so there was limited time to retrieve my phone if it was going to happen that same day. Robert made himself available with zero notice, packed up his gear, and was on the road within minutes. He had all of the equipment necessary to find my phone in dark waters, and he provided me with a great YouTube video that uses sound to vibrate out all of the water from the phone's speakers . Helpful, communicative, efficient, and friendly. Highly recommend to others. In a way, kinda glad I dropped my phone in the lake Fun experience!

If you want a boat without all of the hassle of owning a boat and want over the top customer…read moreservice, this is your club. I've been a member for 4 or 5 years and have nothing but great things to say about the club. I owned boats for over 10 years and as a single female, most of my girlfriends couldn't back a trailer or help me with getting the boat in the water so I was usually doing it all by myself (which isn't easy with a 22+ foot boat). When I was with a guy who didn't know how to do those things it was awkward. Plus, owning and storing a boat as nice as the club has was more than twice as expensive. I've been tempted to buy a boat again a few times over the past few years but every time I walk up to a boat at Volente Boat Club that is already on the lake and ready to go.....and then I get off the boat and never have to clean or maintain it......well, that's an easy decision. I will say that the dock hands get to know you and it feels good to walk up with a group of friends and be greeted by name and treated like you are valued. It strokes the ego a bit. Also, in all of the years as a member I've never had problems getting a reservation.....and I'm really bad about waiting until the last minute to book. In fact, today I called them up around 11 and said I would be out there some time between 2-3 and they got me right on a boat. At the end of the day, Alex, the manager saw my son and I walking to the parking lot (which is the only downside.....but great exercise) and he told us to jump in his car and gave us a ride up the hill to where we were parked. That is customer service. :) I love the club and it's really the best way to enjoy a carefree lake experience.

Back in March of 2008, I visited my friend Bryant out in Texas. With original plans to check out…read moreSXSW, we ended up camping, hiking, and fishing in the area. On one of the days, we decided to go fishing along lake Travis. Bryant had heard that Allen was pretty familiar with the lake. It was a day of firsts. First time fishing, first time with kettle chips. With a six-pack of beer, thai-flavored kettle chips, and a light tackle rod, I felt instantly like an old chinese man. Loved it. With my beginners luck, I started to catch fish left and right which left Bryant a bit miffed. But suddenly I realized that my line had snagged on something big. My line was meant to catch 3-5 pound bass. This was a lot bigger. 5 minutes pass by, I'm trying to reel in the fish but at times my line looks like its going to snap. 11 minutes pass by, like spotting the loch ness, we shout as we see a flicker of the fish. It's huge. My arms are screaming in pain; after 15 minutes the fish gets close enough to the boat for Allen to shovel the fish on board. Turns out it was a 36 pound buffalo carp. The stretched line fell back into the water, whereby we felt another tug. By hand, we reeled it in to discover that I caught a bass in the process. Let me tell you, when we got back to the campsite, we had too much fish with us. Good thing we found people to share in on the food. Allen could probably navigate the lake blindfolded. A high recommendation for handling a city-slicker like me.

I got a charter with Allen Christenson's Fishing Guide service as a birthday present and it's was…read moreone of the best I have ever had which include flying a helicopter and driving a Ferrari. Luckily, we live in Texas so we got a 80 degree day in the middle of December, but with the water temps the fish have gone deeper for warmer water and it was extremely windy which did not make the fishing any easier. Yet Allen was able to take us around Lake Travis using his fish finder and got us on the fish. We caught 30 fish and had 18 keepers. Allen is a great captain as he has fished the lake since he was a kid and spent several years as a tournament fisherman. He even holds the Texas and World Records for the largest Guadalupe Bass; caught in one of his secret spots on Lake Travis! He happily told has some secrets about how to fish Lake Travis and gave us tips on the correct techniques for different fishing styles including using worms and jigging. If you want a fun day that you will remember for years, give Allen a call and schedule a trip.

(Both human and doggo) I would eventually love walking lights along the trail on the ground, especially when walking around the houses. It gets so dark back there - again, I've always felt safe - but it would be nice to have it a little brighter back there.
