    Great guide!

    5 Hour Trip – Largemouth Bass (AM) • 2 adults

    The trip was to start at 7AM but Jimmy knew the morning bite needed an earlier start, as well as beat the other early boats off the boat ramp. So we met at 5:50AM to be the first boat on the lake and sure enough, best part of trip was that first hour. Jimmy kept the bites coming by taking us to several inlets then switching to deeper water. We greatly appreciated Jimmy’s guide knowledge and look forward to Spring lunker fishing!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you! It was fun fishing with yall! look forward to getting to fish with yall again in the spring!

    Great morning on the water!

    5 Hour Trip – Largemouth Bass (AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    Jimmy was a down to earth, knowledgeable captain that was very relatable and down to earth. As this was our first time on lake fork we wanted to get an understanding of the water and ways to navigate around. Jimmy helped answer any questions we had. Caught some fish, missed some fish. We live to try again! All in all a great day!

    Reported catch:
    Largemouth Bass

    Stubborn fish, still a great day.

    5 Hour Trip – Largemouth Bass (AM) • 1 adult

    Fish were not cooperating as much as desired, and I am quite certain that my novice experience did not help my ability to bring fish in but still caught my personal best - 3lb LMB. Jimmie did land an 8lb hog which was fun to watch. Jimmie was great and I had a really good time. Very knowledgeable and enjoyable to talk to. I learned a lot on this trip. I will definitely use Jimmie again and I highly recommend him as a guide. Had a great time on Lake Fork!

    Captain Jimmy is a very knowledgable Lake Fork fisherman. He put us on some big fish and caught several largemouth bass and a catfish on a hot August morning when the fish were lazy. We had a great time! Thank you!
