Background
My love for Crappie fishing began with weekend trips with my dad as a young kid. From there I got into Bass fishing and fishing tournaments, mainly in East Texas. When I moved back to the Dallas area I renewed my passion for crappie fishing and have been fishing Lewisville Lake since 2009. I began guiding so I could combine my 2 biggest passions - fishing and teaching. Every day on the lake presents a learning opportunity. I welcome all ages and skill levels, from beginner to seasoned angler.

Aaron, Daniel, Sammie, Waylon and Emerson were in town all the way from South Dakota and wanted to di some Texas fishing! Fish are still deep and a little lethargic but these guys put 57 in the boat. All caught on tiny flukes in 50 feet of water.

12/27/24 I had Keith, Richard, Ro and Mr. Neal out for some white bass and hybrids. Day started out very foggy and chilly but heated up as the day progressed. Fishing was good early as well until the wind picked up. Ended up with 25 big white bass and 3 keeper hybrids.

Crappie did not cooperate much so we tried some catfishing. The crappie that did bite were good ones and Jonathon ended up with his new personal best catfish, 11.5 pounds!

Great trip on Lewisville today with John Sr., John Jr. and Mike! It was John Srโ€™s birthday and the big crappie did not disappoint. All fish caught on brush from 12-16 ft. Had to move from pile to pile in the beginning picking up 2 or 3 on each one until we finally hit a couple of piles that were stacked. Bite was pretty light until around 2 pm when they started hammering the jig. Caught about half and half on minnows and jigs. Book your trip today!
