Meet Guide Derek Roeschel

Catch 512 was born from Guide Derek Roeschel's lifelong love affair with fishing and his desire to share that passion with others. 

Growing up in Central Texas, he spent countless hours exploring the region's lakes, rivers, and streams, honing his fishing skills and developing an intimate understanding of the local ecosystem. From the thrill of landing his first fish to the excitement of competing in fishing tournaments, his journey has been defined by his unwavering dedication to the sport.

With years of experience under his belt, he has mastered a wide range of fishing techniques, from finesse tactics like light tackle and trolling to more aggressive approaches such as heavy tackle and bottom fishing. 

Beyond his technical expertise, his passion for fishing runs deep in his veins. He understands that fishing is not just about catching fish; it's about connecting with nature, building camaraderie with fellow anglers, and creating cherished memories that last a lifetime. It's this holistic approach to fishing that sets Catch 512 apart, with trip packages carefully designed to not only provide an unparalleled angling experience but also to foster personal growth, teamwork, and a profound appreciation for the great outdoors.
