I have been a professional guide on Lake Fork since 1992.  I started fishing Lake Fork in 1986.  I think that qualifies me to say, "I know Lake Fork".   I caught the second largest bass in Texas out of Lake Fork.  That fish weighed 17 lbs. 4.29 ozs. and was named Valentine.  She is still the 5th largest bass in Texas.  Many of my customers have caught double digit fish and hundreds have caught fish over 7 lbs.  Customer service is my number one priority.  You have many guides to choose from on Lake Fork.  Many are part timers but there are only a few of us who make a living guiding every day. A guide's reputation is the most important part of his business.  I'm proud of my reputation of professionalism and integrity.  I work hard to earn it every day.  If you choose to book me as your guide you will receive first class treatment and I will do my very  best to put you on fish.  I will be glad to answer all your questions concerning seasonal patterns, electronics, bait techniques, fishing equipment, structure fishing, etc.  I am looking forward to you being my "next regular customer".  Lunker Luck!

Macho Creek Lodge is on the 25,000 acre Peeler Ranch, located 50 minutes south of San Antonio in the wildlife-rich and vastly expansive South Texas Brush Country.

Five generations of Peelers have called and still call this ranch “home."  Justin Peeler invites you to share in the ranch’s heritage. From the foundation herd of Peeler Texas Longhorns to the ranch’s commercial cattle ranching operation to Macho Creek Lodge hunting and recreation! Come visit us and enjoy!

Macho Creek offers Bobwhite Quail, Mourning Dove, and Duck wing-shooting, big-game hunting for Whitetail Bucks, Wild Hogs, Javelinas, Rio Grande Turkey and Alligators, Bass Fishing, and Ranch Resort Vacations.

The lodge facilities date back to a circa 1876 cowboy bunkhouse. The lodge offers very nice accommodations yet maintains the ambience of a fifth-generation ranch.
