Lancaster Guide Service – Catfish
Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
If fishing in Yantis is on your bucket list, look no further than Lancaster Guide Service. Captain Jonathan will be your guide, giving you access to their professional experience.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Catfish, and who knows what else! On these trips, it’s common to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Capt. Jonathan welcomes anglers of all ages, including kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites for a boost of energy when needed!
Your day begins aboard a 22' Travis pontoon boat with space for 7 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Jonathan will supply rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but it's good to ask about this so you know if 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 may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, and sunblock. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

This was a catfish trip with my 2 adult sons and 8 year old grandson. Capt. Jonathon put us on fish immediately and we proceded to limit out. Capt. Jonathon was the ultimate professional and host. His first mate (Stetson) was equally impressive. The was my grandson's first ever fishing trip and the patience and guidance that Capt. Jonathon and Stetson showed was absolutely phenomenal. Will definitely use Lancaster Guide Service again and again and again. THANK YOU Capt.for a wonderful day on the water!
Not only does it feel like you’re fishing with one other guys, but the level of care to make the experience as smooth as possible was really surprising. He was willing to take you step-by-step so that you can have the best experience possible we went for catfish and off of the first couple cast. We were hooking some real big ones and I believe his homemade bait is one of the best and one of the most tolerable for those who hate dealing with worms, guts, or chicken skin
50 catfish for my 50th Birthday! Jonathan and son Stetson were amazing guides! My son and myself had a wonderful time and learned alot from Jonathan! I recommend this trip to anyone- Jonathan is the Catfish Whisperer! if you want a haul for your next Fish fry and a great experience book Lancaster guide service!! Jeremy Morton
My two sons and I had a great time on the lake. Jonathan and Stetson were great. We caught a ton of catfish. Highly recommended.
I would recommend this trip with Lancaster to everyone! We caught a ton of catfish and the gish were jumping in the boat almost with the bait Jonathan provided! The conversation was great and his son was the best co-captain ever!
I have lived on Lake Fork since May 2007. I have spent an average of 250+ days a year on the water. I have had a very successful tournament career and reputation on the lake.
