My name is Jay Bonner. I've been fishing Lake Fork since I was old enough to walk. Fishing has always been a passion of mine. I'm a father and husband to my beautiful wife Lindsey and have a beautiful little girl and a baby boy on the way that will be here in January. I work hard on staying on the fish. Even if I'm not booked a day I'm on the water looking for new spots. I look for the bigger fish. My spots have been producing some good fish. It's everyone's dream and a bucket list lake for people to come fish. Lake Fork is ranked the number 1 bass fishing lake. I would love to earn your business.&nbsp;On Top of fishing lake fork we also offer trips on Lake OH Ivie, and Bois D'ark. I love making new friends and meeting new people. My bait sponsor is SLIK BAITS, and I couldn’t be catching the Lake Fork bass without them. They make awesome baits. Like I say feel free to call or text me.
