Lakeside Guide Service
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.
You’ll be targeting Crappie or White Bass with your guide. Expect to run into Catfish and Hybrid Stripers as well while learning all there is to know about fishing these waters.
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.
Get ready to have the time of your life with Lakeside Guide Service, and book your next adventure with Chris!

Captain Chris
My buddy Scott and I booked a trip with Chris on Lake Lewisville for Croppie fishing I could not have been more happy with this choice. Captain Chris is a very nice guy knows what he is doing. He put us on the fish. They were finicky today so that was not his fault everywhere we went the fish were there we caught enough to suit us all I will definitely book another trip with him and I would recommend anyone book a trip with him. You’ll enjoy yourself. It’s a relaxing time and again he knows what he’s doing. Very good company as well. I highly recommend you take a trip with this gentleman. I know I will.

Crappie Trip
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.

Great day fishing
Captain Chris put us right on the fish. He knew all the best spots. We caught all types of fish, catfish, crappie, sand bass, large mouth bass, drum. His boat and equipment all worked good. He was easy to find at the dock. He showed us many different techniques. He was patient with newbies. We will definitely be going with him again.
