About Your Trip

oin Captain Xavier for a day of crappie fishing on legendary Lake Fork, one of East Texas' premier fisheries. While most trips take place on Lake Fork, other nearby East Texas lakes may be fished when conditions make them the better option, ensuring you're always fishing where the bite is strongest.

A major focus of these trips is using LiveScope technology, allowing you to watch fish in real time and make precise presentations. Whether you've never used forward-facing sonar before or want to improve your confidence with the technology, Captain Xavier is happy to explain what you're seeing on the screen and how to turn those marks into fish in the boat.

You'll fish from a Triton TR21 bass boat that's perfectly suited for targeting crappie around timber, brush piles, and other productive structure. All rods, reels, tackle, bait, and equipment are provided, so you can simply show up ready to fish.

Water is included, and you're welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks for the day. Whether your goal is to learn modern crappie techniques, fill the cooler with delicious fillets, or simply enjoy a relaxing day on one of Texas' best fishing lakes, Captain Xavier will work hard to make your trip a success.
