Beyond DFW Area- Trophy Catching!
In addition to our normal lakes, We love exploring new waters- we also guide trips for trophy crappie and hybrid-striper on the following lakes:
-
Lake Fork
-
Lake Ray Roberts
-
Lake Arrowhead
-
Lake Waurika
-
Lake Possum Kingdom
-
Lake Granbury
These trips typically perform best during the fall, winter and early spring months.
November through March is considered big fish season, and artificial lures can be highly effective during this time.
The goal on these trips is to teach tournament-style fishing techniques and use proven tactics that consistently put trophy-class fish in the boat.
Most of these lakes are just 1–2 hours from the DFW metroplex and offer not only incredible fishing, but also some of the most scenic views in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
