Start your fishing adventure at the catfishing capital of Texas with Johnny’s Catfish Guide Service. Capt. Johnny has been fishing on Lake Tawakoni for 15 years and he knows where the fish hide. If you need a dedicated and experienced guide, you&rsq

Full day trips are longer days when fishing is slow or when drifting for Blue Catfish. Spend more time on the water and enhance your chance for a perfect catch. All fishing equipment is included in the price, just ask the captain in advance.

We will fish for Striper or Catfish. We fish until your limit is caught or 5 hours.

We fish out of 23 ft Center console for Strippers and catfish with live bait and artificial We will also troll and drift fish. up to 4 persons per trip

We bait and set ten (10) 2 hook catfish juglines, then troll huge swimbaits for BIG striped bass, about midway through the trip, we have a bathroom break, then check and rebait the juglines before trolling for striper some more. Easy relaxing trip for any age, any skill level. After pics, I clean and bag your catch. DO NOT EXPECT a limit of smaller striper. We are after fish two feet long or bigger, and you can only keep 2 striper per person that size.

6 hours and up to 6 people - 24 ft. boat Includes all fishing rods, artificial lures, ice for fish, bait, casting instruction, and fish cleaning.

We troll huge lures to find bigger fish, but sometimes we use bait. It depends on the fish that day, but we try to focus on the bigger fish. We have caught many over 30 inches, but 22 to 28 inches is the average.

We will give you the full half-days fishing even if you limit out early unless you're ready to head in early. There is a no-catch no-pay policy. so if your group doesn't catch anything the trip is free. We have yet to have a free trip (knock on wood). We DON'T do "Party Boat" style fishing where you may be with others on the boat fishing, that way it's a much more comfortable, attentive, and personal trip.

This trip is a specialized trip to cater to you. If you want to learn how to find fish, learn graph setups, or anything you need.
