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.

Common Questions What are the best fishing spots on Lake Fork?While Lake Fork is renowned for its abundance of trophy bass, some lesser-known hotspots can yield impressive catches. Try targeting submerged creek channels, particularly during the spring spawn, as bass migrate to shallower waters for spawning. Additionally, explore offshore humps and ledges, where bass congregate throughout the year, especially during transitional periods. Don't overlook the intricate network of standing timber and brush piles, providing shelter and ambush points for big bass. By venturing beyond the popular spots, anglers can discover hidden gems and increase their chances of landing that elusive trophy fish on Lake Fork. How do I choose the best Texas fishing guide?Beyond credentials and experience, prioritize guides who offer personalized experiences tailored to your preferences. Look for those who focus on educating anglers, not just catching fish, enhancing your skills and enjoyment. Seek guides with intimate knowledge of local waters and adaptable strategies for diverse fishing conditions. Transparency in communication and a genuine passion for conservation also signify a top-tier guide. Ultimately, it's the rapport and trust established with your guide that elevate your fishing excursion from good to unforgettable. How much does a fishing guide cost in Texas?
