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.

About the Captain
I have been an active boater and sportsman since my youth.  Although I love all things outdoors, my passion has always been fishing.  I have owned and operated charter boats for over 15 years on both inland and coastal waters. 

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.

Having fished Lake Ray Roberts exclusively, since it opened to motor boats in 1990, he knows the lake. Prior to fishing on Lake Ray Roberts, Tim lived in East Texas spending a lot of time on Lake Palestine, Lake Athens, Cedar Creek Lake, and Lake Tyler.  Fishing for largemeouth bass in the warmer months, and white bass all year round, Tim has always had an obsession with deep water structure fishing. Having spent countless hours on Lake Ray Roberts studying maps and searching the depths with electronics, he knows the  the main lake structure on Lake Ray Roberts like the back of his hand.  Using triangulation, he is as comfortable fishing spots in the middle of the lake as most fishermen are fishing stumps in the back of a creek.

Your Lake Ray Roberts guide trip with Tim will be as instructional as you want it to be. You can learn a lot in one trip about electronics, GPS's and triangulation if you have the desire to. Before opening Reelin Ray Roberts Guide Service, Tim was in the grocery business.

In 1988, Lindy began guiding on Lake Ray Roberts in an 18-ft. canoe (that was before motors were allowed on the lake). This full-time guide works strictly on Lake Ray Roberts and he has the distinction of guiding there since Roberts was impounded.

You can hear Lindy on the Texas Fishing Radio show with Brian Hughes on KRLD-AM 1080 and the Texas State network on Saturday morning between 5 to 7 am and on Sunday between 5-6 am for a live fishing report and weekly update. You can read more about the guide in the article by Gary Enkowitz of the Denton Record Chronicle.

Filled in 1979 with the primary sporting purpose of being a Bass Haven, Lake Fork exceeded the wildest expectations of sportsman. The 27,700 acre Lake Fork is in the heart of East Texas within 90 miles of the DFW metroplex. Lake Fork holds every record for big bass in Texas. When B.A.S.S. and Hasbro created the Bass Monopoly Game it was none other than Lake Fork that set as the Boardwalk position. There is no fishery that has ever surpassed Lake Fork for quality and numbers of Bass. As a Lake Fork Guide I am proud to be a part of the greatest Lake in the sport of Bass Fishing.

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!
