I would like to introduce myself and make your visit to World Famous Lake Fork the most exciting fishing experience you have ever had. I am a Full Time guide and have over 25 years of bass fishing experience in north east Texas. I was born and raised in the north east Texas area, hunting and fishing my whole life since I was old enough to walk.

My goal is to tailor a fishing adventure that lives up to your expectations and provide the fishing experience of a lifetime, whether it is to learn new techniques, catch your largest fish ever, getting ready for a tournament, or just have a fun day catching fish. My number one priority is making your trip a memorable one.

With 20 years of bass fishing experience, including 10 years of local tournament angling in north east Texas, I am a full time guide and am experienced not only on world famous Lake Fork but also lakes Bob Sandlin, Cypress Springs, and hot water lakes Welsh/Monticello (seasonal). From the novice to seasoned angler, I offer instructional trips for all levels. I only use artificial baits and all fish are C.P.R. (catch photo release), so future generations can enjoy this great sport.

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 7)

GOOD. Water Stained; 73 degrees; 0.73 feet below pool. Good early morning bass bite around shad spawn areas and with topwater frogs over grass. Midday to mid afternoon work flukes and yum dingers around grass good1-3 feet. New wave of spawners pulling up this week. Carolina rigs fair in 5-10 feet of water on secondary points. Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Black bass are post spawn and the top water bite is on! Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation. The crappie are moving shallow, small clousers are producing well. Large bream have moved shallow, wooly buggers are producing good fish. Channel catfish are cruising 2-4 feet biting clousers. Report by Guide Alex Guthrie, Fly Fish Fork Guide Service. Crappie fishing is settling into the post spawn and summer patterns we should see for the next few months. We are seeing incredible numbers of small black crappie right now loading up on brush piles, lay downs, bridges and docks. The larger black crappie are a little hard to find but you can find some nice groups of them or pick a few out of the smaller fish. The bigger white crappie are beginning to load on the summer pattern trees. We have a tremendous amount of fry covering up a lot of those trees and making it very hard to see those bigger white crappie on forward facing sonar or for them to see your bait. You can find fish in 10-30 feet of water and some may only be 2 feet under the surface or right on the bottom. Minnows and any colored jigs are both producing extremely well. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
