About Your Trip

Get ready for an unforgettable day of bass fishing on the beautiful Lake with Captain Ryker! This family-friendly adventure is perfect for anglers of all ages, and with Captain Ryker’s extensive knowledge and passion for fishing, you’re in excellent hands. Whether it’s your first time on the water or you’re an experienced angler, Captain Ryker knows exactly where to find the legendary Largemouth Bass that make this lake a prime fishing spot.

Your day begins aboard Captain Ryker’s 20’ Phoenix bass boat, a sleek, tournament-style vessel designed for serious fishing. This boat is a lean, mean bass-hunting machine, equipped with all the gear you need for a successful day on the water. Rods, reels, tackle, and an array of tried-and-true lures are all provided, so you can focus on the thrill of the catch without worrying about the details. With room for up to 2 passengers, it’s the perfect setup for a father-son outing, a memorable day with your fishing buddy, or even some peaceful solo time with Captain Ryker as your guide.

Captain Ryker’s trips are especially great for families, so bring the kids along for an exciting day they won’t forget! He’s more than happy to share his knowledge and teach young anglers the basics of bass fishing, and he’ll be there every step of the way to help everyone have a fantastic time. If you need a child-sized life vest, just let him know ahead of time so he can make sure everyone is safe and comfortable. And don’t forget to pack some snacks and drinks to keep energy levels up; nothing can derail a fun day on the lake like a growling stomach!

One thing to remember: make sure to pick up a local fishing license for everyone in your group before you arrive. It’s a quick and easy process, and Captain Ryker can help point you in the right direction if you need any guidance.

While you’re welcome to bring a few cold beers to enjoy on the water, please avoid glass bottles and hard liquor. This trip is all about relaxing, reeling in some big bass, and making memories, so let’s keep things safe and enjoyable for everyone.

With Captain Ryker’s expertise, a well-equipped boat, and the rich bass-filled waters of the lake, you’re set for a fantastic day of fishing. Whether you’re aiming to land your personal best or just want to share a special day with family, Captain Ryker is here to make it happen.

About Your Guide

Ryker H.

Independent Guide

Ive been fishing beautiful Lake Fork for over 15 years now, and have been guiding consistently for the past 4 years. I like to take people on bass and crappie charters. I operate out of a 20ft phoenix bass boat. When you come fishing with me. All tackle and gear are taking care for you. Waters will be supplied in the boat cooler. Customers are welcome to bring there own small cooler of drinks and snacks. I always try to make my boat as enjoyable & as comfortable as possible for my customers with boat deck seats, music, healthy conversations and catching fish! You break off a lure or backlash and reel? Dont worry, ill take care of that for you so you dont miss any opportunities at catching fish.
