A message from Jay: "I've been fishing at Lake Fork since I could walk, and it has always been a deep passion of mine. I'm a proud father and husband to my wonderful wife Lindsey, and we’re excited to welcome a baby boy this January along with our beautiful little girl. I dedicate myself to fishing every day; even when I don’t have a booking, you can find me on the water exploring new areas. I focus on targeting the bigger bass, and my favorite spots have consistently produced solid catches. Lake Fork truly is a dream destination and a bucket-list lake renowned as the top bass fishing spot in the country. I’d be honored to have you book a trip with me so we can chase those trophy bass together! Thanks for considering, and God bless."
Jay has also spent many years fishing at O.H. Ivie Lake, bringing the same dedication and tried-and-true strategies to catching bass there. Reserve a trip with him today to discover why these Texas lakes are celebrated for their exceptional fishing experiences!
We had an unforgettable day on Lake Fork with Jay! His intimate knowledge of the lake had us casting around points, drop-offs, and various structures known to hold big bass. Jay's attention to detail kept us on the fish all day long. It truly felt like fishing with a longtime friend, and we can’t wait to return for another trip. – Jonathan, with Captain Experiences
In hindsight, our trip would have benefited from going to Lake Fork. Our guide seemed more familiar with Lake Fork, knowing specific fishing spots and which lures were working best. This is exactly why choosing the right guide matters. I wish I had done more research before booking.
Sir, I understand that the day was tough. I took you to an offshore flat brimming with fish, but you didn’t get out of your seat to actively fish – simply dropping your Texas rig brush hog and jigging it a few times. I know Lake Fork and other lakes like the back of my hand from solo fishing many days. It seemed like you didn’t put in much effort, casting only about 20 feet from the boat. You had numerous bites but missed them. I’m sorry you feel that way.
Hello Mike, we’re sorry your trip didn’t meet your expectations. We’ve reached out to discuss how we can make things right!
Jay’s expertise, along with his complete gear setup, ensures a great fishing experience. I will definitely fish with him again. Thank you — it would be an honor to have you back.
Captain Jay was fantastic. We quickly found fish and caught many bass. I will definitely book another trip with him.
Unfortunately, I don’t have positive feedback. He disregarded my instructions completely. I asked him to fish the right side of the boat to avoid snags, but he kept casting on the left side, resulting in me retying nine hooks in 45 minutes. Even his son argued back with me. I’m there to teach, but that becomes impossible when directions aren’t followed.
Hey Johnny, I’m sorry to hear about your experience. We’d like to gather more details so we can address your concerns and make things right. Please contact us. We hope to see you on the water again soon!

Lake JB Thomas is renowned for its enormous bass. It’s common to reel in double-digit bass, and occasionally, anglers catch more than one in a single day. Even on less productive days, I’ve managed to land 50 pounds with my best five-fish catch. This lake is also teeming with large crappie, making it an excellent spot for a variety of fishing experiences. I’d love to help you book a trip to this incredible lake—let’s go after the fish of a lifetime together!
