Knowing there are other guides you can choose from and that a professional angler's reputation is one of the most important parts of the business, I am very proud to have a reputation of hard work and integrity.

I am glad to answer all of your questions about seasonal patterns, specific techniques, electronics, and tournament fishing. I am looking forward to our experience on East Texas' finest lakes.

Bring the Kids! I'm a father of two and I understand the value of spending time with your children. I'm always happy to take parents and their children out for a great time on the lake. Fishing is more than just a hobby, it is a way of life!


Customer Comments

"Thanks for the great fishing trip last week! I?ve fished Lake Fork over 10 times with guides over the past few years and that was hands down the best trip that I?ve had. 25 quality fish in 100+ degree heat is pretty impressive! Your knowledge of the lake and use of different techniques blew my mind."

"I just wanted to thank you for an incredible day at Fork! My customer and I both had a trip we'll never forget! I honestly didn't expect much with the heat, but you put us on some great fish! I've taken customers on several guided trips and I've been disappointed more times than not; this having little to do with the fish we catch. Most guides, like yourself, prefer you to use their tackle and boat. The boat is normally too small for 3 people to fish comfortably, and then you're stuck with old rod and reels and old line. When I pulled up to the launch and saw your new Skeeter ZX225, your pro gear, and your tackle collection? I knew I picked the right guide! "

"Hey man, I just wanted to say THANK YOU. My son has shown the picture of his 8lber to EVERYONE. Alot of people have said they have fished their whole lifes and never boated a fish that big and he caught it on his first trip to Lake Fork. You have a gift for teaching and a great way with kids. That fish made his whole summer. We cant wait to get back. "

"My wife and I wanted to thank you for a great trip and your hard work. Tina has never really enjoyed fishing, probally because I dont have the patients to help her. She had the best fishing trip she'd ever had last week with you on Fork. Thanks for making her day special. I didnt even care if I caught a single fish, I just wanted her to have a good time. She has gone with me a few times now. That was an incredible day, and I learned a ton."

Lake Fork

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

GOOD. Water Stained; 82 degrees; 0.23 feet above pool. Fork : Top waters early around pond weed and grass with frogs and poppers still working . Mid morning chatter baits on the outside edge of grass in 3-5 ft is good as well as shaky heads . Best bite is Carolina rigs off shore on points , road beds and humps in 12-25 ft . Big worms and flukes are good . Deep Cranks are good over the same area when the fish are suspending 19-23 ft . Report by Marc Mitchell, Lake Fork Guide Service. Lily fields are filling in, hydrilla and milfoil are reaching for the surface. Fish this type of cover at mid day when bass are seeking cover. Frog patterns are working in the shallow vegetation early and late. Small fish patterns like a dock knocker are producing bass and crappie shallow near grass. 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. Lake Fork crappie fishing has been super up and down this past week. The fish are stacked up on brush piles, lay downs, tire reefs and some trees. The bite is the tricky part. Some days the bite is good and the bigger fish show up. Some days the bite is just off and the short fish show up. Seems like the bite may be better on days we have a little breeze. If the winds are calm the bite is very slow. Minnows will get some bites but small 1/32nd ounce hand tied jigs with small bodies and tails are working well on fish that don’t want to bite. Best depths have been 18-13ft with most fish suspended on trees and loaded in the brush. Report by Jacky Wiggins, Jacky Wiggins Guide Service.
