We would like to welcome you to some of the best fishing in Texas.  We specialize in trophy striped and hybrid bass fishing.  We are stricly "catch and release" on our stripers and hybrids.  The current striped bass lake record in 18.56 pounds and the current hybrid bass lake record to 13.19 pounds.  If you catch a striper or hybrid which appears to outweigh these records, the fish will be kept for an official weigh-in.

We also fish for white bass (aka sand bass).  Limits of white bass can be kept by the customer.  We do not offer a cleaning service.

I specialize in seasonal patterns. You can fish with me 5 or 6 times a year and catch fish different ways: being with live shad to throwing top water baits to fishing under balloons, bouncing slabs off the bottom, knocking on wood with crank baits, or even chasing the birds and using soft plastics. Call or email for more info on these patterns. We have other boats available for corporate outings and lakeside accommodations upon request.

MY FISHING PHILOSOPHY

First and foremost, client satisfaction is my priority. As a full time guide, freelance outdoor writer and touring pro, I am aware of the constantly changing tactics and techniques facing today's angler. I strive to stay abreast of these changes in order to educate both the beginning angler and the seasoned tournament fisherman on strategies that can be applied to any body of water.

PROFESSIONAL GUIDE SERVICE

Roger has over 10 years of tournament experience on Lake Sam Rayburn. Fishing in local, regional, and national tournaments, he has consistently placed in the money in circuits including Red Man, Anglers Choice, Everstart and Honey Hole.

SAM RAYBURN LAKE

Sam Rayburn offers some of the best fishing to be found anywhere in the nation. Nestled among tall pines and native hardwoods. This sprawling, Corps of Engineers impoundment, has very limited lakeside development, and as a result, it's uncluttered shoreline abounds with wildlife, including deer, eagles and migratory waterfowl of all kinds. With a current lake record of 16.80 lbs, "Big Sam" has few rivals for the title of "The Bass Factory of Texas".

It is time again to plan your trip to River Ridge for your   white bass fishing trip for next spring.   The whites will be running. This past season we caught really good on red & chartreuse roadrunners.   If action was slow, we tipped the roadrunner with a small piece of crawfish.   Most weigh between 2 - 3 lbs.   River level was low but fishing was good last season.   Sand bass were great.    Most days really good with big catches.   Looking forward to a great season in 2007.  Make your reservations now.   White bass have already started to come up the river.  By late December or early January if the water conditions permit we should be able to do a few white bass trips.  I have a new airboat and we should be able to get to where they are if the river is not too high or extremely low.  Late January it should really kick off.  If you can come on short notice give me a call for an early trip.
