Joe Joslin has fished Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn Reservoirs for over 30 years and has been a full-time licensed guide since 1998. He specializes in Largemouth bass and fishes most all of Rayburn and the southern one half of Toledo which many feel harbors more than its share of lunker bass.

He has landed six bass over 10 pounds and his largest bass to date is an 11 pound 8 ounce beauty that was caught in the Texas Island area of south Toledo. His most recent double digit bass was caught last November and weighed 10.2 pounds and it too was caught on south Toledo.

In addition to guiding, Joe is a frequent tournament angler, outdoor writer for several newspapers/outdoor magazines and numerous websites. Joslin also frequently leads fishing seminars.

Joslin is based out of Indian Creek which is located on the southwest corner of Toledo Bend Lake on the Texas side which also is about 30 minutes from Rayburn.

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".
