I've been enjoying the fantastic fishing at Lake Fork for more than 15 years, and for the past 4 years, I've been proudly guiding anglers on the water. I specialize in bass and crappie trips, running my 20-foot Phoenix bass boat to ensure a great fishing experience. When you fish with me, all the necessary tackle and equipment are provided, plus there are coolers stocked with water on board. Feel free to bring a small cooler with your favorite drinks and snacks to make the trip even more enjoyable.
My goal is to keep the boat comfortable and fun, with cushioned deck seats, good music, engaging conversation, and, of course, plenty of fish to catch! If you happen to break a lure or get a reel backlash, don’t worry—I’ll handle it so you won’t miss any chances to land fish. I’m happy to accommodate flexible start locations to fit your needs.
We had an amazing time! I highly recommend Ryker—he earned a solid 5-star rating from me. He communicates well and has excellent fishing skills. We easily caught our limits and can’t wait to come back for another trip. Thanks so much for joining me out on the water. I truly enjoyed your company and look forward to the next outing!
