Great guide and great trip.
8 Hour Trip on May 7, 2025
I’ve done quite a few guided excursions on the lakes surrounding DFW. This experience was one of the best. He will use his years of experience and equipment to put you on fish. Very professional and overall good guy who wants to make your experience on the lake enjoyable. Highly recommend for lone anglers (as myself), groups, or families. I limited out mid trip and we kept fishing (and releasing) for the full time so I could learn new techniques.

Crappie Trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) on March 27, 2025
I’m new to crappie fishing and wanted to learn all I could about crappie fishing in Lake Lewisville. Chris is VERY knowledgeable about all aspects of fishing for crappie and he’s willing to share that knowledge (and does so in a straightforward, easy to follow manner). He answered all my questions and then he answered the questions I didn’t think to ask. And he found crappie! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend Chris and Lakeside Guide Service for any type of fishing on Lake Lewisville.

We had a great time out on the boat. Chris was kind, knowledgeable, and worked well with the teenage boys we brought. We were able to make lasting memories and caught 20 fish to keep and take home. I would definitely book again.

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.
