Ready to hook into some monster largemouth on one of Texas' premier bass lakes? Hop aboard with local expert Eddie Garrett for a half-day of non-stop fishing action on legendary Lake Fork. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to land that personal best or a family wanting to introduce the kids to the thrill of bass fishing, Eddie's got you covered with his wealth of knowledge and proven techniques.
Your 4-hour adventure kicks off bright and early, when the big girls are most active. Eddie'll have you rigged up and casting to prime spots in no time. Lake Fork is known for its trophy potential, so every cast could be the one that connects you with a true hawg. You'll work a variety of artificial lures - from topwater walking baits that get vicious strikes, to deep-diving crankbaits that tempt those bottom-hugging lunkers. Eddie's boat is decked out with top-notch electronics to help locate fish, and he's always got a few tricks up his sleeve to keep the action hot.
Get ready to level up your bass game. Eddie's a master at reading Lake Fork's ever-changing patterns, and he'll share tips on everything from proper lure presentation to setting the hook. You might find yourself flipping jigs into thick cover, working a Carolina rig along underwater points, or slow-rolling a big swimbait to trigger reaction strikes. And when you hook up, Eddie's there to coach you through the fight and help you get that trophy in the boat for a quick photo before a careful release. Don't be surprised if you pick up a new knot or two - Eddie's always eager to share the little details that can make a big difference.

Lake Fork is world-renowned for its trophy largemouth bass, and for good reason. These green machines can grow to jaw-dropping sizes here, thanks to the lake's ideal habitat and the Florida-strain genetics introduced years ago. Spring is prime time for hooking into pre-spawn females that can easily top 10 pounds, but don't sleep on the fall bite when bass go on a feeding frenzy to fatten up for winter. Summer might mean working deeper structure, but the potential for a true giant is always there. When you feel that telltale 'thump' and your rod doubles over, hold on tight - you might just be connected to the fish of a lifetime!
It's not just about the fish (though they're a big part of it). Eddie's trips are like a floating bass fishing classroom, where you're guaranteed to pick up new skills and insights. His easygoing nature makes the whole family feel welcome, from eager kids to grandparents who haven't wet a line in years. And let's be real - there's nothing quite like the rush of battling a big ol' Lake Fork bass. Even if you don't land a personal best, the stories and memories you'll take home are priceless. Plus, Eddie's local knowledge extends beyond just fishing - he can point you towards the best post-trip burger in town or share some Lake Fork history that'll give you a deeper appreciation for this special fishery.
Whether you're a seasoned bass fanatic or looking to create some lasting family memories, a morning on Lake Fork with Eddie is tough to beat. Remember, the boat comfortably fishes two anglers, but there's room for up to three more if you want to make it a group outing. Just be sure to grab your Texas fishing license before you arrive (Eddie can point you in the right direction if needed). Spring and fall dates tend to fill up fast, so don't wait to lock in your trip. Who knows? This could be the day you finally hook into that double-digit Lake Fork legend. Tight lines, and we'll see you on the water!

Largemouth bass are the kings of Lake Fork, and for good reason. These fish can grow huge here - we're talking 8-10 pounders pretty regularly, with 13+ pound monsters possible. You'll find them hanging around submerged timber, weed edges, and rocky points. Spring and fall are prime times, but summer can be great too if you know where to look. Largemouth are popular targets because they put up an awesome fight and can really test your skills. Nothing beats that heart-pounding moment when a big one slams your lure! Plus, they're just beautiful fish. To land a trophy, try working a big plastic worm slowly along deeper structure. The bass here love to ambush prey, so be ready for that sudden thump. And don't set the hook too fast - give 'em a second to really take it. Trust me, waiting that extra beat can make all the difference between a story and a picture on the wall.
