We had an excellent guided catfishing trip on Lake Tawakoni with a party of four. The guides took care of everything—baiting, hooking, and later cleaning all the fish. The meeting spot was convenient and easy to find, and the guide was professional and quick to respond with all communication details. They were friendly and easy to talk to, which made the trip comfortable and enjoyable from start to finish. Everything went smoothly and exactly as expected. Highly recommend.
thank you very much. we enjoyed fishing with yaul
My wife and I hadn't fished in 15 years. Johnny was very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He took us to the good spots and we caught a lot of fish. He's the ideal guide for children, all the way up to experienced fishermen. Thanks Johnny! We'll be back...

Your captain
West Tawakoni, Texas, United States
Captain John is a local who dedicated his life to fishing. You can rarely meet a person with over 60 years of experience and he's one of them. 15 years ago, he decided to run fishing trips professionally and got his guiding license. The best thing about his job is seeing people's faces when they catch fish. That's the main reason he's dedicated to personalized fishing trips and he isn't interested in fishing tournaments.
