World-Class Bass & Crappie Fishing on Lake Fork

Lake Fork's Ultimate Bass & Crappie Combo Trip

Ready for a Texas-sized fishing adventure? Hop aboard with Captain Ryker Holmes for a full day of non-stop action on Lake Fork. We're talking about doubling down on two of the lake's most prized catches - hard-fighting largemouth bass and tasty crappie. This ain't your average fishing trip, folks. We're switching it up mid-day to give you the best of both worlds. Whether you're looking to land that wall-hanger bass or fill the freezer with some of the best-eating fish around, we've got you covered. So grab your hat and let's hit the water!

What to Expect on the Water

Your day kicks off bright and early as we chase those bucket-mouthed bass during their prime feeding time. Captain Ryker knows every nook and cranny of Lake Fork, so we'll be hitting the hotspots where the big girls like to hang out. Once the sun's high and the bass bite slows, we'll switch gears and go after those slab crappie. It's like getting two trips in one! We provide all the top-notch gear you need, from rods and reels to the latest electronics. Just bring your favorite snacks, plenty of water, and maybe a celebratory beverage for when you land that lunker. Remember, deposits are non-refundable, so make sure you're locked in before you book.

Techniques & Tackle Talk

In the morning, we'll be targeting those Lake Fork giants with a variety of techniques. Depending on the season and conditions, we might be flipping jigs into heavy cover, working topwater lures across points, or slow-rolling big swimbaits. Captain Ryker's always got his finger on the pulse of what's working, so be ready to learn some new tricks. When we switch to crappie fishing, we'll likely be using live minnows or jigs, either spider-rigging or shooting docks. It's a whole different ballgame, but just as exciting. You'll be amazed at how quick those slabs can fill up a cooler!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: Lake Fork is world-renowned for its trophy largemouth, and for good reason. These fish grow big and mean here, thanks to the Florida-strain genetics and abundant forage. The lake record stands at over 18 pounds, and double-digit fish are caught regularly. Spring is prime time for giants, but you can catch quality bass year-round. There's nothing quite like the heart-stopping moment when a big ol' Lake Fork lunker crushes your bait!

Crappie: Don't let their size fool you - these "paper-mouths" put up a scrappy fight and are some of the best-eating fish you'll ever taste. Lake Fork's crappie population is healthy and abundant, with fish regularly topping 2 pounds. They school up, so when you find 'em, it's game on! Spring and fall are peak seasons, but with the right know-how (which Captain Ryker has in spades), you can catch limits of crappie any time of year. Get ready for some fast action and a tasty fish fry!
