 13988 Calvary Road, Willis, TX 77318, United States

If you’re here to make the most of fishing on Texas Lakes, look no further than Fish Hard Guide Service.

I am your Guide, Matt Beggs, I hope to provide you with the best fishing experience possible using my 30 years of Bass Fishing and 20 years of Pro Tournament Fishing, including multiple wins, as Co-Angler.

These waters are known for Largemouth Bass with any luck, it won’t be long before "Fish on!" You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing.  I provide rod and reels for you.

You’ll be dropping lines from a 21’ Ranger Z521 Bass boat with space for 2 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online.

It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Water and Gatorade will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. I’m a family man, so kids are always welcome!

Now’s the time to experience fishing on Texas Lakes for yourself, with Fish Hard Guide Service!  Look up our website, or Find us on Yelp and Instagram for more details.

Lake Conroe Day Trip - Bass Fishing on March 7, 2025

My dad and I had the perfect day with Captain Matt. He was a very respectful man that was very knowledgeable on lake Conroe for Large Mouth Bass fishing. I cannot recommend him enough we 100% will be booking with him again when we come back to Texas. As a group we caught about 30 Large mouth with our top 5 fish being a total bag of 25 pounds. You will not find a better more knowledgeable and more reasonable guide than Captain Matt.

Lake Conroe Day Trip - Bass Fishing on August 11, 2024

Given it was August in Texas. It was hot. At the same time there was a bass tournament on the lake. The tournament 1st place won with a 9lb bag. The 1st hour we fished we had a 7lb bag. Got broke off on a 5.5 lber. Captain Matt had Gatorade and Water cold and at the ready. He had plenty of rods and reels for my son and I. He was super patient with my son and put him on the fish. His boat was super clean and well equipped even with live scan. Great atmosphere and great day fishing. If you’re looking for a guide in this area Captain Matt is the guy. Thanks again.

Lake Conroe Day Trip - Bass Fishing on April 14, 2025

Captain Matt is the best! I booked a trip for my brothers. They had never been bass fishing in Texas. Captain Matt spoiled them with a great experience and lots of fish. They joked that they would be back to Texas, not to visit me but to go fishing with Captain Matt!
