I’ve been fishing Lake Fork since before most folks had smartphones. Over the years, I’ve built up a toolbox of proven techniques, seasonal strategies, and top-secret spots that give my clients the edge—especially those just starting out.

What You’ll Learn from a Day on the Water
Fishing may look simple, but there’s a real art to it—and I’m here to teach you the ropes. On your trip, you’ll learn how to:
Read water and understand fish behavior
Choose the right lures for the conditions
Use sonar to locate fish like a pro
Cast with accuracy and confidence
Set the hook and reel in your catch without losing it
And don’t worry—if you’ve never even baited a hook, I’ll show you the easiest, most effective way to do it without all the mess.
Lake Fork: The Ultimate Learning Ground
Lake Fork isn’t just a beautiful place—it’s one of the top trophy bass lakes in the United States. That makes it the perfect classroom. Even if you’re just getting started, you’ve got a real chance of landing a double-digit largemouth bass or icing down a cooler full of slab crappie.
There’s nothing like feeling that first tug on your line. And when you’re learning from someone who lives and breathes these waters, every cast is a chance to improve—and maybe even catch the fish of a lifetime.
