Recognized as an Angler's Choice guide, with a 4.9 rating across 63 reviews, Captain Steve has been guiding on Lake Lewisville and Lake Grapevine for 40 years.

Spend the day on Lake Lewisville or Lake Grapevine with Captain Steve, a full-time local guide, who fishes 7 days per week/365 days per year, knows this lake better than anyone fishing it. Steve offers Sand Bass, Largemouth Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Crappie, and Catfish. With 40 years of reading these waters in every season and condition, it won't be long before you hear "Fish on!"

Why fish with Steve?

No other local guide on Lake Lewisville or Lake Grapevine brings this level of experience and local knowledge. Steve is especially known for his patience with kids, first-timers, and beginners. Many guests catch the biggest fish of their life on their very first trip out with him. Whether it's a family outing, a father-son trip, a first-time fishing adventure, or a group of friends, Steve tailors the day to who's on the boat.

On the water, you'll typically drift and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle, depending on what's biting that day.

Captain Steve runs a 21' Ranger bass boat, comfortably fitting up to 4 passengers. Rods, reels, tackle, and lures are all provided. Just show up ready to fish!

Before your trip:

- A local fishing license is required for everyone in your group (available online, or ask Steve for guidance)
- Kids must wear a life vest — let us know ages/sizes ahead of time so the right size is on board
- Bring bottled water, sunglasses, and non-spray sunscreen
- Feel free to bring snacks or other drinks (just ask) — alcohol is fine in moderation
- Some species may be protected or require a tag to keep — Steve will let you know what's in play that day

Ready for a day you'll actually be talking about afterward? Book your trip with Captain Steve today.

    Great time with an experienced guide

    Half Day Trip on August 1, 2026 • 3 adults

    Our day with Captain Steve was nothing short of amazing. We'll definitely be scheduling more trips with him in the future. The trip was a b-day gift for my 15 yr old grandson. Within 10 minutes of leaving the dock, we had the first one in the boat. Steve's expirence shines through in everything from gear prep, local lake knowledge, and professionalism. He took 3 novice fishermen and had us landing bass like we'd been doing it for years. When the bass stopped biting, we switched to catfish. A little slower, but instead of watching the clock, Steve was determined to get each of us on a big one before we left even if it meant staying out for an exta hour. My grandson, who is usually pretty low key, couldn't stop talking about the trip the fish, everything for the entire 2hr trip home.

    Amazing father son charter

    Half Day Trip on April 11, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    My son and I had an unforgettable day fishing with Captain Steve. From the moment we stepped on the boat, everything was top-notch. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable about the water, the fish, and the best techniques—he shared tips that made the whole experience even better and kept things professional the entire time. We ended up catching over 60 fish that day! It was non-stop action, and my son couldn’t stop talking about how much fun he had. He was grinning from ear to ear the whole trip and is already asking when we can go out with Captain Steve again. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter—whether you’re a beginner, bringing kids, or just want a fantastic day on the water—I highly recommend booking with Steve. We had such a blast that we’re definitely coming back soon. Thanks, Captain Steve, for making it a memorable father-son adventure!

    Wonderful experience

    Half Day Trip on July 8, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an awesome time with Steve on this fishing trip! The service was outstanding from start to finish, and our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we stayed on fish all day. We caught plenty of fish, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The best part was watching my two kids, who had no fishing experience, leave the trip smiling, excited, and full of confidence. The guide took the time to teach them, encourage them, and made sure they both had an incredible experience. We made memories that will last a lifetime, and I can’t recommend this trip enough!

    Amazing fishing trip! 🎉

    Half Day Trip on July 1, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    My family had a blast. My 8 yr old daughter’s first experience on a boat, Steve made it very fun and comfortable for her. He really brought the “fisherman” out of her! It was good conversation and relaxed fishing. I enjoyed just being able to relax on the boat. My son was able to reel some fish in also. Both kids caught in the double digits! They enjoyed it so much. He’s knows where to find them and catch them for sure! If you’re looking for a great guide to catch fish and want a good time I’d suggest booking with Steve.

    It was the best fishing (catching…. there is a difference :) ) i have ever done.

    Half Day Trip on August 5, 2026 • 2 adults

    We caught tons of Sand Bass and a couple of good size catfish. The Captain was great with my 13 year old son and very informative. Also very helpful with tackle and wrangling. It was a very comfortable trip with general conversation and chit chat. We were a party of two, and father/son, so it was naturally more of a laid back and friendly atmosphere. Capn Steve was very personable. It was an excellent Father/Son excursion !!

    Best Fishing Trip Ever🎣🎣🎣

    Half Day Trip on April 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    “Booked a guided fishing trip for our one-year anniversary and it did not disappoint! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. He knew exactly where to go and kept us on fish—we caught several and had a great time doing it. Super patient, fun, and professional. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great fishing experience!”

    Nice Captain put us on a ton of white bass

    Half Day Trip on July 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    Overall a good charter and would recommend if you enjoy white bass/sand bass fishing. Despite hunting down the bite for the first two hours he got us in a good spot in the latter half of the day and we killed it. He knows exactly what he is doing and if you are looking for a good time on the lake Steve is a great choice! Recommend you bring some water with you!

    Big catfish!!

    Half Day Trip on June 15, 2026 • 1 adult

    I fish regularly in Japan, but this was my first time fishing in the U.S., and I’m thrilled to have caught such a huge catfish. Captain Steve is very kind and easy to talk to; as a seasoned fishing guide, he offers excellent support backed by a wealth of knowledge and experience. I’d love to come back with friends during the peak season. Thank you very much.

    Steve’s the man for fat blues!

    Half Day Catfish Fishing Trip on September 18, 2026 • 1 adult

    Steve is the best captain ever. He knows his waters and his fish. Easily the biggest fish I’ve ever caught. I’ll definitely hit him up again when I come back to Texas.
