Joe Pool is located with-in 50 miles of 3 million Texans. With the emergence of hydrilla over the last few years, it's quickly becoming a great fishery.  The price of gas is exploding and time people have to spend on recreation is becoming extinct.  If your job is stressing you out, life is getting you down, well...

 Get a Grip Guide Service is here for you. It's a quick, close, less expensive getaway that fits your busy schedule.   You don't have to drive hours to get to a fix.   Come meet me, minutes from anywhere in the DFW metroplex, and get a grip on a lip in no time. I'm also available for trips out to East Texas (God's Country) to lakes like Fork, Cedar Creek, Cypress Springs, Monticello and Welsh to name a few. We can ride together from the metroplex to share in the added expenses. Give me a call and we can make a trip just about anywhere your mind wonders.

I fish out of a Triton TR-21, powered by a Yamaha 225 that can handle any size lake and 3 people comfortably. I prefer fishing topwater, spinners and soft plastics but can adapt to what ever you choose. I consider Drop Shot my specialty.   If you've always wanted to learn or just get better at this technique, you need to get with me. I'll have you catching on DS in no time.   I've fished Joe Pool since it opened and know many lakes in East Texas as well.  Just remember, only you know when it's time to... Get a Grip!

Bass fishing is good   For all of you reading information on my web site fishing Report at end of web site!!!  Don't forget, a fishing trip makes a great gift!!  I work hard to insure you have a great experience using Lake Fork guides on your  fishing trip. I promise, you will not spend time on the community fishing holes, but fish my prime spots, including brush piles, which I personally put out for my clients. I want you to have such a great time, you will  consider using my guide service each year, not  just as a one time event. Making good friends is what it is all about!!  

So come fish with me on Lake Fork Texas, one of 5 lakes in the nation where fish biologists believe the next world record bass could be caught. Check out my Fork fishing reports at the bottom of the page. I make it easy for you to enjoy a guided fishing trip with me. I furnish the tackle (rods and reels) if you do not want to bring yours. I furnish all the artificial baits for your trip, and the drinks and snacks .  I also take pictures of your big bass or crappie and post them on my web site so you can brag to your fishing buddies when you get home. CHECK OUT THE PHOTO SECTION. This could be you holding a Texas bass!!! I also help you make your lodging arrangements if needed. So if you flying or driving in,  just come and get in the boat and  just fish and enjoy your trip!!!!

My Lake Fork Fishing Guide Service offers day trips for individual, corporate, or group sized parties on Lake Fork Tx.  You may use a credit card to pay for your guide trip or lodging.  I also offer guided crappie trips from May thru December.  And by the  way crappie fishing this month has been good fishing over my brush piles!!! This is the lake where just one cast can get you a trophy bass or crappie.  Summer and fall is a great time to catch crappie and for those too young to catch bass, catching a crappie is something all kids will enjoy. Just bring your filet knife and ice chest and take home a mess of great eating fish. I put out my own brush piles to fish around not just sit under the bridges where everyone else goes!!! The fall bass fishing on Fork is very good!!!  October and November weather is great and the leaves on our trees do not start turning fall colors till late October and early November.  Very good numbers of bass and crappie are caught in the fall, so book your trip now!!!!

  Fork is a great place to bring customers if you are in the corporate world and want a get away. A group trip is a good way to spend quality time with customers. I set up the lodging, meals, and other guides if needed. Golf is also available around the lake if you have some in the group who does not fish. I can also arrange meeting places for the business meeting or off site training. So call me and lets set up your guide trip for the group.
