Tim May Fishing Guide Service - Lake Fork

 County Road 1558, Alba, TX 75410, United States

Tim May Fishing Guide Service invites you to join Captain Tim for a fishing trip at Lake Fork during the early summer months. Tim has more than three decades worth of experience when it comes to Bass fishing. Whether you’re an old hand or someone who’s just learning the ropes, he will do his best to ensure you have a trip to remember for a long time.

Your boat is a 21’ Ranger bass boat that comes with a 250 HP Yamaha engine. Thanks to its small size and quality engine, you’re sure to reach the best spots very quickly. There’s enough room for up to three prospective anglers to fish comfortably. Captain Tim won’t be fishing himself during the trip, he will be helping you catch some fish and have fun during the entire trip.

When it comes to Lake Fork, Largemouth Bass fishing with artificial lures is the name of the game. Captain Tim is there to guide you in the right direction and make sure you’re set to catch some memorable fish. Be it in the morning or afternoon, Tim is ready to show you what makes Lake Fork such a great place to fish.

Rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price of a trip. Captain Tim will provide drinks and light snacks, so you have one thing fewer to worry about. A pair of sunglasses and a hat are highly recommended, and feel free to bring a camera to show off your catch later.

Incredible half day on lake fork! Bass!!

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip (PM) on March 15, 2025

My son and I arrived to DFW late morning and drove straight to Tim to catch some bass. He guided an incredible half day. Within an hour my son and I both landed personal best bass! 7lb 9oz and 6lb 13oz. Caught lots of other fish, different techniques. Tim was great with the boat and managed some tricky high wind and cool weather seamlessly. Would highly recommend!

Great 2 days on Lake Firk with Tim May!

VERIFIED

Full Day on May 8, 2025

Tim knew where to find the fish and was totally at our disposal for the two days that we were there. Was flexible as far as what hours we finished and gave us some great fishing tips. We will definitely use Tim next time we go to Lake Fork. Lake conditions were terrible, but we still had a good time. no lunkers this time but maybe next time.

You want to fish ?

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 14, 2025

When you leave at the end of the day exhausted from casting or catching, you will have learned a lot (I hope). Saw at min 30 bass on bed that would not bite anything. Caught several fish but they just did not bite today. I would choose Tim again or suggest anybody looking to give him a try. We had a great day fishing just not catching.

Tim is the most professional guide I’ve ever hired. Very friendly, very well-prepared, very attentive to the needs of his customers and extremely patient with both young and old. Tim is the epitome of what someone should expect when paying for a guide.

I've been fishing Lake Okeechobee during the months of December, January, and February, for the past 30 years! I am a former Maintenance/Machinist for General Electric Corporation of 31 years. Our plant was purchased by a foreign company, and I was allowed to retire at age 49. So as I move forward in life, I decided I wanted to be a guide, and do what I love to do every day, fish! I have been doing it for a short time, but I have many returning clients, who are very satisfied with my performance and fish catching ability!
