Guided Hand Fishing East Texas

Guided Hand Fishing East Texas takes you on a lake or fishing trip out of Point, Texas. Come join Captain Chris Whitaker and spend a fun and productive day on the surrounding rivers, Lake Fork, or Lake Tawakoni. Captain Chris has equal success on both lakes, although Lake Fork has more stumps but also more marinas. Pick a day that suits you and have a great time fishing these lovely Texan freshwater grounds!

Your boat for the day will be a restored 18’ G3 pontoon that can sit up to 5 anglers. It runs on a 40 HP Yamaha engine and uses a VHF radio for communication while on the water. It’s equipped with a livewell to provide live bait.

Your group and Captain Chris will be using heavy tackle and bottom fishing to reel in prized Catfish but you can also try to catch frogs. You’re free to decide if you’ll release the fish you catch or just release it back into the water. Kids are also welcome to join aboard. This way, you can share the fishing fun with your dearest ones and have an unforgettable time together.

Captain Chris provides you with all the rods, reels, and tackle you’ll need for your trip. He also supplies you with drinks, so just bring your licenses, bait, and whatever food you like.

Spend a lovely lake fishing trip with Guided Hand Fishing East Texas and enjoy a great chase in gorgeous nature!
