Barefoot Guide Service 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an absolutely phenomenal experience with Barefoot Guide Services! I booked this fishing trip as an early birthday present for my daughter, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jake, our boat captain, did an outstanding job from start to finish. Everything was organized and ready to go—rods, reels, bait, and everything else we needed. The boat was clean, well-kept, comfortable, and even the boat ride itself was a great part of the experience. And the fishing was incredible! We caught a ton of fish—white bass, hybrids, drum, and even largemouth bass. My daughter caught more fish than she ever imagined she would, and seeing the smile on her face the entire trip was something I’ll never forget. What made this trip especially meaningful is that my daughter is actually the one who got me back into fishing. When someone is really getting into fishing, having a great experience early on can set the foundation for a lifelong passion. This trip did exactly that for her. Between the excitement of fighting the fish, everything Jake taught us, and just being out there together, it absolutely solidified her love for fishing. Jake went above and beyond the entire time. At the end of the trip, he even cleaned and filleted our fish and had everything bagged up for us to take home. I truly can’t say enough good things about Jake and Barefoot Guide Services. This was more than just a successful fishing trip—it was an awesome father-daughter experience and a birthday memory we’ll have for a long time. And you can bet we will be going again in the future. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, organized guide who provides a first-class experience, I highly recommend Jake and Barefoot Guide Services. We couldn’t be more thankful. Five stars all the way!

While on holiday in texas from the uk we made a last minute booking with jake for myself and my son, its always been on the bucket list for us to fish in the states and jake did not disappoint, he was great from start to finish, definitely recommend 100%, will definitely be rebooking when we return to texas. 5⭐️ 🇬🇧🇺🇸

We had a blast with Captain Jake. He put us on the fish the entire trip and is great with kids. My 7 year old caught an 8 lb hybrid striper!

Captain Chad is the best.

Jakes know the lake and good fishing! Highly recommended. We caught white bass and catfish.

With winds blowing in the 20+mph range and 2-3ft rollers in the lake we set out to try and put sole fish in the boat. Jake’s 24ft Bulls Bay handled the weather amazingly. As hard as Jake tried he unfortunately couldn’t find the big schools of fish we were looking for. We tried quite a few spots so it wasn’t for a lack of effort. We did end up lading 3 fish in some pretty rough conditions and I’d happily go back with Jake on another trip in the same weather in a heartbeat.

Jake can put you on fish. Period. I had been looking for fishing experience which I could share with my grandson. Jake was able to fulfill that with superior knowledge of Lake Lewisville, the conditions we had to work with, the weather, feeding patterns, structure, and what the fish were doing. Originally, we had intended to fish like Grapevine for Crappie. But due to high water conditions, Jake suggested that we switch to Lake Lewisville. And it was a good thing we did, because he put us on hybrids and sand bass and we begin catching fish almost immediately. Within two hours into a five hour trip, we limited out on hybrids. We tried fishing crappie for a couple of hours, but the crappie were just not ready to feed. Jake has thousands of waypoints mapped and so his ability to find the correct structure is amazing. He is also very patient about showing you correct technique, baiting hooks, and dealing with tackle. I would recommend Jake’s services to anyone who is looking for the best opportunity to catch fish and have a great time fishing north Texas lakes.

What started out as a possible rain situation ended up with us catching seven hybrids and one white bass. Even tho the fish were being finicky, Capt Jake did everything he could think of to make sure we were trying to catch fish. Even gave us some amazing evening / sunset photo opportunities!

Coach Chad and Coop were kind, knowledgeable, and got us on the fish. Some friends and I took our young sons out on a morning trip. Everyone caught more than a dozen fish. The kids were amped (the adults lot it as well!). Would recommend 5/5.

It’s sure nice to be able to get on a good boat, with nice gear and a great captain. All we had to do was the reeling! Caught great fish, multiple species and took home some awesome table fair.
