Artificial lure fishing
We love to throw top water lures early and late. Our lake is a wonderland of hydrilla, eel grass, mazes of giant pond reeds that are perfect for soft plastics and search baits. For the purest, we'll hunt the lake for those big bites--and good numbers of decent fish, on the highest quality lures from the best makers, including some locally made lures developed for this lake specifically.

Combo fishing
Can't we do a little of both? Heck yea! Let's throw some of those key baits in the best places for big bass on artificial, but having a little 'insurance' is never a bad idea. It breaks up the day a little as well. This is the most popular trip any of the guides offer. Let's take a couple 'dozen shiners and see what happens.

Shiner fishing
We specialize in hunting trophy bass with artifical baits, but there is no denying that live, wild shiners draw big exticing strikes from big bass. Our boats have incredible 60 gallon bait wells to hold tons of shiners for a full day of fishing. Our service is to pick up the live bait and have it in the boat and ready to go when you arrive at the dock.
The cost for shiners ranges from $12 per dozen for small ones, Wild caught at $25 per dozen all the way to $36 per dozen for large ones. We simply make this a pass-through charge to the anglers, with no mark up or convenience fee. We recommend budgeting at least a dozen shiners per hour of fishing. We'll also have all the artificial baits available during your shiner trip.
We fished the lake for almost 5 years, during pre-opening, and followed the progress of construction since long before that. We've got the lake dialed-in and can put you on the fish. No other guides have fished the lake longer than we have.
