"My goal is for you to have
the best bass fishing day of your life."

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!

"Come fish for a bass of a lifetime".

My name is Matt Cartwright. I am a licensed guide and have been guiding since 1991. I am on the water five to seven days a week and know how to put you on fish.

Spring is the best time of the year to catch fish. We usually fish from 7:45am till a little after 1pm on weekdays and flexible hours on weekends.

I have a NO FISH GUARANTEE and work hard to ensure that you not only catch fish, but you have fun!

I fish from a 21' bass boat with plenty of room to fish three. I guide on Lake Ray Hubbard and Lake Tawakoni for hybrid and striper - Lake Fork and Mill Creek for black bass.

Fishing Lake Lewisville for white bass and hybrid stripers with a licensed guide. Don has fished Lake Lewisville regularly since the late 1970's. Book a trip with Don with these results: see how the fish appear on the graph, learn the proper method of controlling your boat by drifting and with the trolling motor, get aquainted with the most productive areas on Lake Lewisville for the white bass. Master these techniques and you are on the way to be a good fisherman on any lake.

Lake Lewisville is an excellent fishery for white bass from April through November. A limit can be expected on most days. Lake Lewisville is stocked with hybrid stripers with a few in the ten pound range. Most trips produce some hybrids, but not necesarily the ten pounder.

Lake Lewisville has some very large Florida black bass lurking it's waters. Don does a limited number of trips for these monsters. His methods vary from the standard black bass methods, but it is possible to land a large one in a day's fishing.

Rates: One or two persons, $225.00 (paypal accepted). Morning trips begin at 7-8 AM until 12- 1 PM. Evening trips begin about 3 PM. Cleaning and bagging your catch is included. Children are always welcome and there is no additional charge, but the number of guests may not excede three persons. Larger parties can be accommodated. Don will work very hard to find the fish. As an added bonus, Don guarantees you will catch fish during the months of April through November or you may skip the guide fee! Also, if you happen to be with Don on a day we break his current record number of fish (381), the next trip is free!

Feel free to call or e-mail Don about Lake Lewisville fishing. He may be able to answer your questions about what is biting and where.

Trips may also be arranged for Lake Ray Roberts.

Bring your own tackle, or it is furnished at no additional charge. Also bring your Texas fishing license, sunscreen, ice chest for your catch, food, and drinks.
