Lake Fork Premier Guide Service
Lake Fork Premier Guide Service
If you’re ready to start fishing in Quitman, look no further than Lake Fork Premier Guide Service. Your guide for the day is Captain Ryker, which allows you to benefit from years of knowledge and experience.
These waters are known for Largemouth Bass, Crappie, and more – with any luck, they’ll make your reel scream. For these species, you’re likely to use light or heavy tackle.
Lake Fork Premier Guide Service is a child-friendly charter service, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Your adventure begins aboard a 20’ Phoenix bass boat with room for 2 passengers. The number of passengers varies from species targeted. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it’s good to ask about this so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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 always wise to bring sunscreen and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Lake Fork Premier Guide Service!

Half Day AM Trip – Largemouth Bass
Great day on the water
Ryker is a great guide. has a great attitude and approach to fishing. so easy to get along with. has a wealth of lake for knowledge. got us on the bite. he is not afraid to move and try different things when no bites. we frogged the pads, we pitched at docks, we ran crank baits in open water, we then drop shotted brush piles. I highly recommend Ryker and will use him again when back in town. boat and equipment are all top notch.

Half day PM trip - largemouth bass
Exceeded our expectations
From the moment we met Capt. Ryker we knew we were in good, capable hands. He was prepared, organized and ready to go. Under his guidance we caught 8 fish, the largest just under 6 pounds. I can't say enough good things about Capt. Ryker. Book with him and you won't be disappointed!

Bass/Crappie bundle - Full Day
Bass and crappie all day!
My son and I had a great trip with Ryker! We caught a ton of crappie to start the day. While crappie fishing my son caught the biggest bass of the day, 4lb 8oz. We then spent the second half of the day catching bass. Lots in the 2-4 lb range. Ryker was patient and knowledgeable. We did some sight fishing which was a first for us and landed several bass that way. Great day- would recommend.
