A note from Jay: "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 #1 of bass fishing lake. I would love to earn your business. Let's get out there and catch some pigs! Thank you and God bless."

Jay has also fished O.H. Ivie Lake for several years, and applies the same work ethic and proven techniques to catching bass there! Book a trip with him today to see why these Texas reservoirs are known for epic fishing!

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
