Come down to Alba, Texas, and join Jay aboard his 21' Skeeter bass boat. Built in 2022 specifically for Largemouth Bass fishing, this craft has plenty of space for up to 3 anglers and the guide. It comes powered by a 250 HP Yamaha engine and can get you to the fishing grounds quickly and safely.
The bass boat is outfitted with a GPS and a fishfinder to save your time while your search for the fish. As well as that, there is a wireless trolling motor and an icebox – everything you need for a productive day on Lake Fork.
Try your hand at light tackle fishing, spinning, popping, and jigging. While concentrating on hooking up Largemouth Bass. These can be kept according to the regulations while all Bass caught will be safely released back into the water.
All trips come inclusive with rods, reels, tackle, and lures. You will need to obtain a valid fishing license and bring your drinks and snacks with you. Feel free to bring your kids with you and teach them all about the joy that fishing brings!

Kevin PostRepeat angler5.0VerifiedOutstanding Day on Fork with Jay
Half Day Trip (PM) on March 31, 2026 • 1 adultThis is already strong—just tightened the ending so it hits a little cleaner: ⸻ Jay Eichler put me on fish and showed exactly why Lake Fork is so highly regarded. He’s knowledgeable, patient, and knows how to adjust to conditions throughout the day. I learned a lot, had great action, and came away with a real understanding of how to approach Fork—it’s far different than I expected. Coming from years of bass fishing on Pools 7 and 8 of the Mississippi River, I had my habits. Jay knows Lake Fork and helped me adjust my technique to fit the lake, which made all the difference. Beyond the fishing, Jay is easy to spend a day with—laid back, professional, and focused on making sure you have a great experience. If you want a guide who truly knows the lake and can teach while putting you on fish, I’d highly recommend Jay. Didn’t land that 10-pounder this trip… so I’ll be back—and I’d book with Jay again in a heartbeat.

Full Day Trip on February 26, 2026 • 1 adultJay did a great job. Fished on dpawning flats 1-6 ft of water fished lipless cranks, and many soft plastics. Jay boated a 2lb male & 4 lb female. I lost a 2lber, horsef around. Right time, location, guide. Tough day. I would highly recommend Jay. Personable, professional, helped rig rods. Did what a guide is supposed to do. Would definitely go back out with Jay if I could.

Ryan CooperRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHad the time best time fishing and learning with Jay
Half Day Trip (PM) on September 8, 2025 • 2 adultsWe are very new to fishing and Jay took the time to explain quite literally everything we asked about. He was super easy to find and the whole experience was a breeze. His boat was top notch which made it more enjoyable for us as well. We are already planning on booking again, we had an amazing day on lake fork with Jay!
Chuck Nail5.0VerifiedA little early for the fall feeding frenzy but the captain made it a great trip.
