    Had a great time

    4 Hour Trip on August 30, 2026 • 4 adults

    Chris, the captain did an amazing job. He was well trained on his profession. We went to different areas of the lake and when the fish wasn’t being caught, he than gave us an option to try other types of fish. When we got to the area it wasn’t on. It was 4 of us and one that never caught fish before. Amazing trip and will go again. We had an amazing time and it was worth every minute. Chris was very patient with the new member to fishing. They were catching as many as the rest of us. Thanks very much for my son’s birthday out on the lake.

    We had an amazing experience with Captain Chris! It was our first time fishing, and he made it so much fun while teaching us all the tips and tricks to be successful. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure we had a great time from start to finish. We learned so much and caught fish too! We can’t recommend him enough and will definitely be back. Thanks for making our first fishing trip such a memorable one!

    Best fishing trip ever!

    4 Hour Trip on May 21, 2026 • 6 adults

    Captain Chris was the best! We arrived late to begin with. Got a speeding ticket! When we got there, welcomed us with enthusiasm. There were 3 generations on board. My uncle who was a father figure in my life who taught me how to fish and this trip was for him. We all had bets going on from who got the first catch to the most, ultimately ending who caught the biggest! So much fun!

    Best of a bad day

    4 Hour Trip on May 15, 2026 • 1 adult

    Despite the high wind, I caught lots of crappie snd catfish. Most of the crappie were too small to keep, however it was fun catching them. Captain Chris put me on fish at each stop. This trip is best for solo or a group of various ages. The weather (wind) was not kind to us however Captain Chris kept us on point and task. I would love to go back on a calmer day for a great catch.

    Fishing Fun!

    4 Hour Trip on August 16, 2026 • 2 adults

    Chris knew just how to find the fish and was great at teaching us how to catch them. He was very generous with his time and took care of everything we needed for a successful fishing trip. We caught white bass, crappie, and catfish. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed it very much.

    Great day on Lewisville Lake!

    4 Hour Trip on August 1, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a great experience with Chris! He was extremely knowledgable about crappie fishing and helpful the whole trip. Caught 27 keepers between the two of us and a bunch of other smaller crappie that we released. More than enough for a fish fry! Definitely would like to book with Chris again in the future.

    A Great Time

    4 Hour Trip on July 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    The captain of the boat, Chris Daugherty, gave us the opportunity to have a great time on the water. My wife, grandson and I caught a good mess of fish and will remember this for a long time. I would recommend this opportunity to everyone. I am sure we will repeat this voyage again someday. Thanks Chris

good times
4 Hour Trip on May 2, 2026 • 2 adults

Had an amazing time on our guided fishing trip! The water was calm and beautiful, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Our guide was incredibly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable—he answered all our questions and even taught us some new techniques that made the experience even better. The whole trip was smooth and relaxing, from the pleasant boat ride to having all the gear provided for us. We literally just had to show up and enjoy the day. To top it off, he even filleted our catch for us at the end! Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun, stress-free day on the water.

Great Experience!
4 Hour Trip on April 25, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

We had a fantastic experience with Lakeside Fishing Service and our captain, Chris, on Lake Lewisville. My seven-year-old granddaughter had been begging me for a long time to take her fishing on a real boat, and Chris made that first experience absolutely memorable. He was incredibly patient with her, teaching her how to set the bail on the fishing rod, how to bob the lure up and down, and even reminding her to proudly shout “Fish on!” when she got a bite. She took to it right away and has already said she wants to go back. Chris was just as patient with me and my son-in-law as we asked questions about reeling in bigger fish and learning better techniques. More than once, I had to call him over to help unhook a fish that had swallowed the hook a little too deep, and he handled it quickly and kindly every time. He kept us moving to different spots around Lake Lewisville to make sure we had the best chance of catching fish, and he definitely delivered. At the end of the trip, he cleaned all of our fish for us. All in all, it was a great experience from start to finish. Chris was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made the trip enjoyable for all three generations of our family. Highly recommend Lakeside Fishing Service!

​An unforgettable 50th birthday trip! 🎣
4 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on June 23, 2026 • 5 adults

​We booked this charter to celebrate a milestone 50th birthday, and the Captain absolutely delivered. He knew exactly where to go and put us right on top of some incredible fishing holes. We ended up bringing in a fantastic mix of white bass, crappie, and hybrid stripers. ​The Captain was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had an amazing time from start to finish. If you want a guide who genuinely knows the water and works hard to keep your lines tight, look no further. Highly recommend!

My love for Crappie fishing began with weekend trips with my dad as a young kid. From there I got into Bass fishing and fishing tournaments, mainly in East Texas. When I moved back to the Dallas area I renewed my passion for crappie fishing and have been fishing Lewisville Lake since 2009. I began guiding so I could combine my 2 biggest passions - fishing and teaching. Every day on the lake presents a learning opportunity. I welcome all ages and skill levels, from beginner to seasoned angler.
