Lone Cypress Fishing invites you to experience the stunning waters of Batesville. With Captain Richard at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Crappie, and more inhabit these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. On the day of your trip you're likely to jig using light tackle.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll be dropping lines from a 18' Ranger bass boat with room for 2 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is included, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Lone Cypress Fishing will make it easy for you to go fishing in Batesville. So, how about booking that trip?

Perfect Host
Full Day Trip on March 20, 20262 adults

Very pleased with Andy and service provided. We will use Capitan Richard’s Guide Service again! Perfect weather and very accommodating host. Caught some nice fish and the weather was perfect. Would be a great trip for family. Booking was easy and affordable. Take sunscreen, sun glasses and a hat.

Great trip. Could not have been any better.
Full Day Trip on April 12, 20252 adults

Richard did a great job finding the fish even after a rise in the lake that had the Crappie a little scattered. I took my 12 yr old daughter with me and she had a blast. Richard kept it interesting for her even when the bite got a little slow the second day. Could not have asked for a better guide, boat, or experience. Caught our limit the first day by 11am. Second day we were a couple short of our limit, but we had a long drive home and we decided to go ahead and call it a day a little early. No doubt he would have got us the other couple to finish our limit. I would recommend to anyone.

Catching fish and not fishing for fish
Full Day Trip on May 2, 20252 adults

I highly recommend Capt. Houston as a fish guide to fish any of the Northern Mississippi lakes i.e. Grenada, Sardis or Enid Lakes. I went catching and not fishing, we caught our limit and had lots of fun doing it. My catch was cleaned, bagged and iced down for travel back to my destination. I'll be chartering with Captain Houston again and again. Great customer service and very accommodating.

I started fishing when I was a child and grew to love the sport. I have been fishing for over 30 years and love the outdoors. I enjoy watching the excitement on people's faces when they enjoy the same sport I love to do.
