This 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.
Thank you Kevin for making the trip. I enjoyed having you.
My buddy and I had on our bucket list to bass fish Lake Fork, and I chose Captain J based partly on the reviews, so I wanted to give other fishermen the scoop on Lake Fork Guide Service and Captain J. Put simply, 2 Anglers, and we both caught personal bests. From beginning to end, the best charter I have been on. I learned quite a bit, and I am still feeling the adrenaline from catching my PB, as well as watching my buddy land his, an impresive 7.25 lb'er! (On his birthday weekend, no less 🤙 Thank you Captain Jay, and see you again soon! God bless.
These guys had a great time on a day with a slow bite. Thank you again for coming out.
Jay 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.
Thank you Richard.
We had a great experience learning the lake, we started catching fish as soon as we put the trolling motor in the water! Capt was very informative and had great advice! Highly recommend.
Thank you very much.
Captain Jay was a great guide and great to spend an afternoon with! caught several big Bass! Will come back again!
Thank you very much for coming. I had a great time with you guys.
