Whether you're looking for a fish fry, want to learn some new things, or go fishing and relax with friends, Lakeside Guide Service has the right trip for you! Professional licensed guide Chris Daugherty grew up Crappie fishing in north-central Texas and has been fishing Lewisville Lake since 2009.

Fishing out of his 22' center console boat gives you maximum space and comfort. The GPS and wireless trolling motor allow your guide to focus on helping you catch fish and maximize your time on the water.

The boat can accommodate up to 6 people who can all fish at once. There is plenty of storage, but you're welcome to bring your own coolers.

Your guide will provide all the equipment you need, including rods, reels, bait, lures, and tackle. He will make sure to clean and bag your fish after the trip for you to take home. You'll be using live bait prepared in advance, but you can use artificial as well.

Kids are always welcome as guide Chris has a passion for teaching and introducing them to an activity that will produce lifelong memories. There are life jackets of all sizes, so you can relax while spending time with your family.

4 Hour Trip on May 2, 20262 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, 20263 adults1 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!

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!

Caught a mess of crappie. Captain was great, on time and ready to go no wasted time at the dock. Helped put us on the fish. He is extremly friendly. All equipment is easy to use and in great shape. Don't need to bring anything but drinks and snacks. Will recommend him to everyone.

GREAT TRIP
4 Hour Trip on December 21, 20252 adults1 child
The three of us ages 81, 45 and 13 had a great time. Our guide, Chris Daugherty was outstanding. He put us on fish and helped our 2 younger members understand the method we were using. Ghe boat was comfortable and roomy enough for all of us. he took time to show my grandson the electronics he used to put us on fish. i would highly recommend Lakeside Guide Service for a trip and plan on using Chris in the future.
