I have been on the water from the time I was several months old. I grew up fishing all of the Lakes around DFW and southern Oklahoma with my dad. I currently live right next to Lake Lewisville and fish every moment I can get and love to share my knowledge of the lake and targeted species with clients. My 2nd trip as a guide was with a family of 4, their teenage son walked into my boat and saw that I was barefooted while going over a few rules and safety items on the boat, he looked at his family very excited and informed them that their captain was barefoot and insisted that meant they were going to catch a lot of fish on that particular day. From that moment Barefoot Guide Service was born.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ En absolut fantastisk oplevelse med Barefoot Guide Services! Jeg bookede denne fisketur som en tidlig fødselsdagsgave til min datter, og jeg kunne ærligt talt ikke have ønsket mig en bedre oplevelse. Jake, vores båds kaptajn, gjorde et fremragende stykke arbejde fra start til slut. Alt var organiseret og klar til brug – stænger, hjul, agn og alt andet, vi havde brug for. Båden var ren, velholdt og komfortabel, og selve bådeturen var i sig selv en stor del af oplevelsen. Og fiskeriet var utroligt! Vi fangede en masse fisk – hvid bars, hybrider, trommefisk og endda sortmundet bas. Min datter fangede flere fisk, end hun nogensinde havde forestillet sig, og at se smilet på hendes ansigt hele turen er noget, jeg aldrig vil glemme. Det, der gjorde denne tur særligt betydningsfuld, er, at det faktisk er min datter, der fik mig tilbage til fiskeriet. Når man virkelig begynder at få øjnene op for fiskeri, kan en god oplevelse tidligt i forløbet lægge fundamentet for en livslang passion. Denne tur gjorde præcis det for hende. Mellem spændingen ved at kæmpe med fiskene, alt det Jake lærte os, og bare det at være derude sammen, befæstede det fuldstændigt hendes kærlighed til fiskeri. Jake gik ud over det forventede hele vejen igennem. Ved slutningen af turen rensede og filetterede han endda vores fisk og havde det hele pakket ned, så vi kunne tage det med hjem. Jeg kan virkelig ikke sige nok godt om Jake og Barefoot Guide Services. Dette var mere end bare en vellykket fisketur – det var en fantastisk far-datter-oplevelse og en fødselsdagserindring, vi vil have i lang tid fremover. Og vi kommer helt sikkert igen i fremtiden. Hvis du leder efter en vidende, organiseret guide, der leverer en førsteklasses oplevelse, kan jeg varmt anbefale Jake og Barefoot Guide Services. Vi kunne ikke være mere taknemmelige. Fem stjerner hele vejen!

    Fantastisk første fisketur i USA

    Mens vi holdt ferie i Texas fra UK, lavede vi en last-minute booking med Jake for mig og min søn. Det har altid stået på vores bucket list at fiske i USA, og Jake skuffede ikke - han var fantastisk fra start til slut. Kan bestemt anbefales 100%, vi booker helt sikkert igen, når vi vender tilbage til Texas. 5⭐️ 🇬🇧🇺🇸

    Kaptajnen var en absolut professionel, nummer et. 2, vi tog afsted rigtig tidligt, før kl. 6, og morgenen var absolut smuk og kølig. Vi fangede fisk i mørket! Til sidst var vi ved vores grænse på Hybrid Striped Bass på under en time – de var sgu ved at hoppe ind i båden selv! Og store én af slagsen! Stærkt anbefalet!

    Hybrid Striped Bass
    Winter fishing continues to be productive, with hybrid striped bass and white bass being caught consistently using dead-sticking techniques. As water temperatures remain cold, fish are holding deeper and staying close to bait, making slower presentations the key to success. Most of the action is coming from deep water along channels, flats, and areas where shad are concentrated. Fish are often suspended or tight to the bottom, and electronics are essential for staying on active schools. The bite has been subtle, with many strikes showing up as light taps or slight pressure rather than aggressive hits. Dead-sticking flukes has been the most effective approach. Letting the bait sit motionless in the strike zone has outperformed faster jigging, as fish are less willing to chase in cold water. Once hooked, hybrids in particular are putting up strong fights. This winter pattern should remain consistent through the colder months, making it a great time to target numbers of white bass and quality hybrid stripers for anglers willing to slow down and fish methodically.

    The hybrid bite has been on fire lately — and it’s all about the live bait. Most mornings have kicked off fast, with big, hard-pulling hybrids crushing shad over humps and mid-lake structure. Once you find them, the action doesn’t take long to get chaotic — doubles, triples, bent rods, and happy clients. The live-bait pattern has been steady through late morning, especially when we’ve got a little breeze and some current moving. Stay mobile and don’t be afraid to hop spot to spot — the fish are grouped tight, and when you find the right pile, it’s game on. Then comes the best part of the day… that last hour before sunset. When the sun starts to drop, it’s time to put the bait away and pick up a rod with a lure. The hybrids have been pushing shallow onto flats chasing shad, and the evening lure bite has been fantastic. Swimbaits, topwaters, and small spoons have all been producing, especially when birds start to show you the way. If you’ve been waiting for that fall hybrid bite — it’s here. Mornings are made for bait; evenings are made for artificials. It doesn’t get much better than this.

    After a tough three weeks of scratching and clawing our way through the day, the tables have finally turned! The hybrids and white bass are back to playing the game . It has felt like a classic game of cat-and-mouse out there, but the rods stayed bent and the coolers filled up. The action has been steady, and the fish are fired up again. If you’ve been waiting for things to bounce back, now’s the time to get out here. The bite is back and the game is on!

Tug of War: Hybrid Bass on the Hunt

May 26, 2025 • Little Elm
The past month at Lewisville has delivered more than just stunning sunrises and sunsets—it's been a hybrid bass angler’s dream come true. The hybrids have been on fire, hitting hard and stripping drag with every hookup. Aggressive schools have been feeding actively, especially during the early morning and late evening windows. Whether you're working slabs, live bait, or trolling, these fish aren’t holding back. Every fight has been a test of tackle and tenacity, with plenty of double-hookups and high-energy action. If you’re planning a trip out, now’s the time. The water's warm, the bite is hot, and the memories are waiting to be made.

Home for breakfast!

May 10, 2025 • Little Elm
May hybrid fishing has arrived and it has been on from the word go! Every tactic has been working, swim baits, jigging bottom as well as live bait. These fish are pissed off and fighting hard. You do not want to miss out on this! We like to call it somewhere between controlled chaos and the train falling off the tracks.

Spring patterns have arrived!

Apr 22, 2025 • Little Elm
We have been busy over the course of thelast week. There has been plenty pole bending and drag stripping to go around! The hybrid bite has been phenomenal in the evenings and we have had sucess on live bait, jigging spoons as well as casting swim baits. The next 2.5 months are some of the best fishing of the year and there can be times of chaos with every rod in the boat hooked up. Don’t miss out!
