Lone Cypress Fishing
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?

Great trip. Could not have been any better.
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
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.
