Dblrcatfish & Crappie offers unique freshwater fishing trips for anglers of all skill levels. Let Captain Russell take you to Lake Tawakoni or Lake Fork in the pursuit of Catfish and Crappie. There’s nothing more relaxing than a day spent on the lake, catching fish. Give yourself a few hours to enjoy and experience how the time can pass slowly.

These trips are family-friendly and kids are most welcome to join. They can actually join for free if the price for at least 2 adults is paid.

You’ll be fishing on a 20’ Seaark that accommodates up to 4 guests. This aluminum boat is powered by a 150 HP Suzuki engine that reaches high speeds in no time. Sure, you’re not going to races but it’s good to know it won’t take long to reach your fishing spot. There are Garmin and Livescope navigational electronics, so you’ll find the fish no matter where they hide.

If you have more people in your group, the captain can arrange more boats but you need to request it in advance.

Crappie and Catfish are your main targets for the day, which you can catch in various ways - spinning, jigging, drift fishing, even fly fishing, and bow fishing. If you’re keen to try out some of these techniques specifically, let the captain know in advance.

Your fishing equipment is fully included in the price and the captain will also clean your catch free of charge.

Dblrcatfish & Crappie tries to have fun no matter what. Join Captain Russell and get your share of freshwater trophies!  We book crappie or catfish trip’s and can be split on full day trips.

I've been catching fish my whole life but most of the time, fishing was a hobby. Now, I am retired and have the time to do what I enjoy and pass on the fever of fishing.
