Billy's Guide Service invites you down to Northeast Oklahoma to try something unique and truly different. Explore the beautiful waters of Fort Gibson Lake and get your hands on highly prized Paddlefish, commonly called Spoonbill.

Enjoy the productive Lake and let your captain take you to some other bodies of water around. The area boasts the highest population of Spoonbill Paddlefish and many of them weigh up to 60 pounds.

On your day out, you will be using heavy tackle to battle your Paddlefish. Hooking them can be quite the fight, so make you have your breakfast in the morning.

Along with the monster hunt, you can enjoy some trophy Bass fishing. You will be able to get a healthy dose of Hybrids, White, and Striped Bass. Catfish and Garfish are also around. While Paddlefish can be caught anytime from the middle of October until the beginning of May, Bass fishing is great year-round.

Billy's Guide Service will take you out aboard a 24' Sea Ark Pro Cat boat. Its 200 HP Suzuki engine will power you to the local honey holes and hottest spots. The boat is outfitted with just everything you need to battle your very own Paddlefish and get healthy limits of Bass. There is plenty of fishing space for up to 6 anglers. All aboard!

The trips come with everything you need to make a great catch possible. Bowfishing is also an option on the seasonal trips - just let your captain know and he will arrange everything. You will be provided with water and snacks.

Fun Adventure
4 Hour Trip – Paddlefish (PM) on December 13, 20252 adults

Billy put us on the Spoonbill and the rest was history. Reeled in 10 or 11 fish and even though it was a cold afternoon he still relentlessly kept trying to catch more fish. What an incredible experience and certainly worth every penny.
