Teach Em' to Fish - Professional Texas Freshwater Fishing Guide on Lake LBJ





I cannot remember a time when fishing was not a part of my life. South Texas, where I grew up, was a wonderful place for fishing, especially at Falcon Lake and in Mexico. In the early 70's, while in college, I was introduced to bass fishing tournaments and I was instantly hooked (pun intended). I fished many tournaments and some special fishing buddies (now renown pros), encouraged me to fish the BASS circuit with them; however, raising my kids took priority. Through the years as time permitted, I guided part-time but my real focus was as a full-time single parent holding a full-time job. Now, with grown kids and retired from corporate life, my energy is directed towards being a full-time freshwater fishing guide.

My passion is learning to be a better angler and sharing my knowledge through educational training, on and off the water. I am blessed with the desire, perseverance and patience to instruct others. I relish every opportunity to promote fishing and education. When you're ready for a personally guided fishing trip or need a Christian speaker and educator, give me a call and schedule a date.

First and foremost, each guided outing is catered to you, whether it's a family day or you're an experienced angler. Tell me your goals and interest for the outing, then ask all the questions you want, and learn all you can during our time together. You should expect to improve your knowledge & skills, and catch fish. Even though I cannot guarantee you will catch fish, no one tries any harder.
I have an unquenchable desire to understand what causes fish to bite or not bite. Therefore, I push myself to concentrate while I patiently strive to unlock the keys. Whether you have a similar personality or just want to experience a pampered outing, I go the extra mile for you.

Lures, tackle, snacks, water, soft drinks and even sun block are all provided. If you need special accommodations, I will make arrangements or decline the trip.

You have many fishing guide choices, but it's hard for me to conceive of anyone who will work harder to create an enjoyable, educational and memorable experience.

I look forward to spending time with you on the water.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 15)

FAIR. Water stained; 58 degrees; 0.27 feet below pool. Crappie are good in open water in 20-25 feet with orange and chartreuse jigs. White bass are good in 30-35 feet of water with white jigging spoons. Report by Jess Rotherham, Texas Crappie Fishing Service. Fishing patterns are similar, just be sure to slow down your approach. Bass are good on rock piles and brush piles on sunny days. Docks always come into play on this lake so if you find the right ones you can catch a mess of bass. Look for deeper docks but if you do not find any bass try the outside edges. There are some nice grass patches around the lake as well and lots of bass can be found around some of those. Baits working are Texas-rigged plastics like worms and craws and wacky rigged stick worms. A shallow to mid crankbait and spinnerbaits are working as well. Report by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs. Largemouth bass can be caught in 7-15 feet of water on the outer edge of grass with shad patterned Alabama rigs, or crawfish colored rattle trap or chatterbait, or dragging senkos or 6 inch trick worms on the outer edge of grass. Some fish are on humps long drawn out points Texas rigs or Carolina rigs, or in boat docks wacky rigged senkos. Report by Charles Whited, Barefoot Fishing Tours.
