With over 23 years of experience in Professional Guiding and Tournament Fishing, Captain Carey Thorn has become a trusted name across North Texas waters. As the only fishing guide service in the state specializing in the Annual White Bass Spawning Run, we’ve helped thousands of anglers hook into unforgettable action along the creek banks feeding Lake Lavon, Lake Ray Hubbard, and Lake Lewisville.

Year-Round Fishing on Lake Lavon, Ray Hubbard, and Lewisville

We don't stop when the white bass leave the creeks. Spring brings the crappie spawn, where we fish boat-side or wade the shallows to pull slab crappie from submerged cover. From May to October, we use Live Scope technology to find fish stacked in timber and brush piles. Our trips also include black bass, bluegill, channel catfish, and blue catfish—all guided by the most experienced hands in the region.

A Lake Lavon Fishing Trip Built for Everyone

Whether you're walking a creek bank or setting out on our 19-foot G3 center console boat, we tailor each trip to your goals. Families love our channel cat trips in April and May, while trophy hunters chase blue cats from October to February. Kids, first-timers, and veterans all walk away with fish, memories, and new skills. Carey Thorn Fishing is all about simple setups, expert advice, and non-stop action.

Gear, Electronics, and Education Included

We provide everything—rods, reels, tackle, and top-tier electronics. Learn how to use your own Live Scope, Side Imaging, or Down Imaging system during our 2-hour electronics tutorial trips ($250). We work with Humminbird, Garmin, Lowrance, and Simrad systems, helping anglers read their screens and put more fish in the boat. It’s more than a trip—it’s a full learning experience.
