Coach Cole's Guide Service

Coach Cole’s Guide Service is here to help you experience the stunning waters of Little Elm.

These waters are known for Striped Bass, White Bass, Catfish, Hybrid Striped Bass, and more – with any luck, it won’t take long to hook into some.

You can expect to do some spinning, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. You will be able to keep any legal species. Plus, you can have your catch cleaned.

You’ll be dropping lines from a 24’ Haynie bay boat with space for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It’s never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Capt. Chad will have some drinks available for you.

The click of a button is the only thing keeping you from a great day on the water with Coach Cole’s Guide Service!

I am committed to excellence on the lake! Your satisfaction and enjoyment are my # 1 priority. I am not only committed to catching fish but also informing my customers about current lake conditions, why the fish are in a particular pattern, what works best during a certain time of year, etc. Catching a Limit of fish should be an expectation of my guide service, just don't let it be the only one!
