Let me start by introducing myself. My name is Josh Priest, I am 33 years old and grew up fishing with my cousin "Big Fish Guide", Randy Oldfield.

I've been fishing Lake Fork for over 20 years now. and I've been a successful tournament angler on lake fork for many years, including multiple angler of the year titles, also a Bass champs win in 2014, and Cashed many hourly checks over the years, in the McDonald's Big Bass Splash.

I began guiding in 2014 and I've really enjoyed the experiences with teaching kids and seeing people catch their personal best with me.

I guide on Lake Fork,Tawakoni and other east Texas lakes for Bass, Crappie, & Catfish.

Lake Fork

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.
