The black bass are in all 3 stages : pre-spawn, Spawn, and post-spawn. The bite is aggressive and fight is fierce. I'm catching fish on streamers and top water. Another Lake Fork Beauty! The fishing is super for black bass and crappie. The crappie are in the shallows and hitting

Brett got my daughter and I hooked up with fish to take home in less than an hour. Very accommodating and obviously very experienced on Lake Tawakoni. We had a great time, great memories for a daddy/daughter weekend!

Never used a guide before, but Eddy was everything we expected. We were taught technics as well as best bait for the circumstances. You don’t learn effective fishing methods overnight so we will definitely hire Eddy again for our ongoing fishing adventures. Thanx again to Eddy.

Had a great time on the lake. The weather was a little off but Capt. Joe knew all the right spots to go. We will definitely go again when the weather gets better.

We had an epic day on Lake Fork with Jay! He knows the lake like the back of his hand and had us throwing off points and dropoffs, and up and around structure where the big bass hang out. Jay doesn't miss a beat and had us dialed in all day. Felt like fishing with an old friend and can't wait to be back for more. - Jonathan with Captain Experiences

I had a fun early morning fishing trip with Joe! He knows the lake like the back of his hand so he took me to some of his best spots! The fish weren’t biting too much in a number of the spots but were were able to catch a handful in the end. He taught me about a number of jigs and baits used for this time of year the Bass are biting on, which was awesome to learn! Overall a great experience and definitely would recommend him to anyone looking to go catch some Bass and for a great fishing experience!

I fished with Joe, and he was great. Taught me a lot about my boat and showed me some great spots on Hubbard. I will for sure be calling Joe in the future to help me. Had a blast
