Spend the day with Lancaster Guide Service and find out what the fishing in Alba is all about! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Jonathan can tell you all about the local fishery.
These waters are home to Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Catfish, and more if you cast your line at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
You'll be casting lines from a 21' Phoenix bass boat that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
You will need to buy 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.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. Water and ice are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Lancaster Guide Service!

Michelle Bordeaux5.0VerifiedBook with this Guide!
Special 8 hours trip for Michelle Bordeaux on July 28, 2026 • 3 adultsWe chose to bass fish duing the wrong season for it, but figued we'd give it a go and hope for the best. Temps were over 100° and they just werent biting. Johnathan did the best he could with finding us bass. Our son was scheduled for the next day also with Johnathan, and Johathan made sure to give him the best Texas experience he could. My son had an amazing time and we'd 100% book with him again.

Half Day Trip – Bass/Crappie on July 19, 2026 • 2 adultsHave never been crappie fishing but Jonathon put on fish and we were smashing them. He’s awesome to fish with and we’d highly recommend him.
Jose Cuellar5.0VerifiedHis experience is out of this world.
Half Day Trip – Bass/Crappie on November 15, 2025 • 4 adultsJonathan took us to his favorite spots to catch fish. He helped the entire time and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire trip. We caught enough fish and he took us around Lake Fork too. This guy knows what he's doing. I recommend booking Jonathan for all your fishing charters at Lake Fork.

Great trip, lots of fun! Jonathan was knowledgeable and fun and took the time to explain many different techniques! Highly recommended, and I'll be back ASAP! I'm very sure that every level of fisherman would have a great trip with Jonathan!
