Phill’s Guide Service
Phill’s Guide Service
If you’re looking for some incredible fishing out of Little Elm, TX, you’re at the right place. Come out and fish the Lewisville Lake with Phill’s Guide Service for that trophy Hybrid Striper, White Bass, and Catfish.
Captain Phill Hurlbut is great with kids and is a wonderful teacher. He is a full-time guide focused on providing a premium outdoor experience. No effort is spared to make sure his team is prepared and dialed in. His team of guides works tirelessly to ensure your success on the water. They can handle anything from novice fishermen to serious anglers. The crew will teach you how to use the gear and what baits are productive, give you a course on fishfinder operation, explain different techniques to find and catch fish and get you acquainted with Lake Lewisville and its surroundings.
You will be fishing out of a stable and safe 24’ SeaHoss center console boat equipped with the latest electronics and top-of-the-line fishing gear. It comes with a 250 HP 2018 Suzuki four-stroke engine, Garmin and Garming Livescope GPS and fishfinder, a Minn Kota Terrova wireless trolling motor, and a live bait tank.
Captain Phill will introduce you to safety procedures before leaving the marina, talk about fishing, the equipment, and how long it’s going to take you to reach the best fisheries, and give you a life jacket.
All bait and tackle by top brands such as Abu Garcia and Shimano are provided. Live bait is caught before the trip. You can also catch and released, have your catch cleaned (included in the price), or donate to a local church or families. All you need to bring is weather-appropriate clothing, a cooler with any drinks or snacks you prefer, a camera, a fishing license, and a good attitude!
Phill’s Guide Service would love to take you fishing, so come out and have a good time with them. You can book for Lake Roberts or Lake Lewisville - just ask about it in the booking request.

Great outing!!!
I can’t say enough about how great a trip this was! My 6yo grandson’s first time on a boat and fishing except a cane pole excursion or two. Phill started the trip with great detail of boat and emergency procedures should anything occur. There were 4 fishermen on the boat and Phill worked tirelessly to bait and land every fish, and we caught plenty! Phill’s patience with my grandson and keeping his interest up was phenomenal! When we returned Phill and another guide cleaned and bagged the catch. These guys work closely together and advise and help each other throughout the process to insure total satisfaction of all fishing parties. I will take the group out again and know the experience with Captain Phill will already be successful! Our sincere thanks!

Great Catch!
Had a great morning half-day trip with Phill. Phill was waiting for us at the boat ramp with the boat in the water stocked full of fresh bait he had just caught, ready to go when we arrived. He briefed us about the boat and the fishing we would be doing and off we went. We were on top of the fish in no time. Phill was attentive to all four of us, jumping from one to the other making sure our hooks had bait and removing the fish that we were continuously reeling up. He has an awesome boat with plenty of room for your whole group. I would recommend Phill for anyone looking for a good fishing experience, whether beginners or seasoned fishers. Can't wait to do it again!
