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.

    Amazing trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 17, 2026 • 2 adults

    Tim made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. He had everything we could possibly need and was incredibly patient, which we really appreciated. He made us feel comfortable and confident, and thanks to him, we caught some really nice bass! We’re already looking forward to coming back for another trip.

    Awesome Fishing Guide

    Full Day on April 21, 2024 • 2 adults

    We did a full day fishing trip on Lake Fork with Tim. Despite the weather conditions (cold front and substantial rains the day before) Tim put us on fish, one being 7+ lbs. Tim is an all around nice guy and we enjoyed our fishing so much. He knows how to find the fish! Tim does not fish, he spends his time making sure everything is perfect for you! Snacks and drinks provided and his boat and equipment is top notch. Thank you so much Tim for making my husband’s birthday fishing trip awesome! You will see us again no doubt!!!!

    Incredible half day on lake fork! Bass!!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on March 15, 2025 • 2 adults

    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!

    Full Day on May 8, 2025 • 2 adults

    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.

    Very patient guide

    Full Day on March 1, 2025 • 2 adults

    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.

    Day two with Captain Tim May

    Full Day on April 10, 2022 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Saturday It started out as a cool morning. Was down to 38 degrees causing the lake temps to drop a bunch. These Florida Bass do not like a big change in temperatures. So it made for a hard day catching fish. Captain Tim is a very knowledgeable guide. More important, where most guides quit a full day at 4:00 in the afternoon, Tim fished with us until 7:00 that night. No extra charges. That was awesome. On Sunday, we started at 11:00. We wanted to go to church in the morning. The winds were fierce today so Captain Tim took us to a different lake to get us out of the wind. The wind made it hard on the fish. We caught only two today, but fun was had by my son and I. If you are looking for a solid guide, than Tim May is your man.

    Two day trip in March with Captain Tim on Lake Fork

    Full Day on March 8, 2020 • 1 adult

    Captain Tim was a great guide, and a great guy to spend a couple days in a boat with. I took a solo trip to Lake Fork to get away for a bit and fish a lake that I’ve wanted to for years, and I couldn’t have been happier that I hooked up with Tim. He worked hard all day long to put me on big bass and was a pleasure to be around. You can tell immediately that he loves what he does, and he truly cares about his clients experience. I just left and I already can’t wait to go back to Lake Fork, and will definitely be fishing with Tim May. If you want to fish with a guide that will go above and beyond to make your trip special, choose Captain Tim, he’s the Man!!

    Full Day fishing with Captain Tim

    Full Day on March 23, 2021 • 2 adults

    Tim is a great guide. Fishing was tough for most fishermen but Tim put us on the fish. Caught around 24 fish. Tim taught me a lot on bass fishing that I didn't know. Took my fraternity brother and we all got along very well. Recommend him whether you are experienced or new at bass fishing. Got a full day of fishing. I will be calling Tim for future trips at Lake Fork

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!
