Donny Fleenor, Guide at Crappie Freaks Guide Service

Embark on your next Lake fishing with Crappie Freaks Guide Service, and discover why Quitman, Texas, and the legendary Lake Fork have become a great place for avid fishermen.


When you choose Crappie Freaks Guide Service, you're entering the world of serious crappie fishing. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, our experienced guide will ensure your outing is both productive and memorable. Our primary focus is on Crappie – a challenge and delight for any fishing enthusiast. Your day on the water may involve light tackle fishing, or perhaps a more specialized approach tailored to the nuances of Lake Fork's crappie population. The best part? Any crappie you catch that's within the legal limit is yours to take home. And for the ultimate convenience, we'll even clean your catch, so you can savor the fruits of your labor with a delicious dinner.


Crappie fishing at Lake Fork is a family-friendly affair. We happily welcome young anglers aboard, making it an ideal opportunity for a day of family bonding and outdoor fun. While we do our best to provide child-sized life vests, it's always a good idea to bring your own for a snug and secure fit. Additionally, packing some snacks, non-spray sunscreen, and sunglasses is recommended. Complimentary drinks are part of the package, ensuring everyone stays refreshed throughout the day. While moderate alcohol consumption is permitted, it's wise to avoid hard liquor and glass bottles for safety and convenience.


Your Lake Fork fishing begins on our well-equipped 20' center console boat, with ample space for up to four passengers. We provide all the essential gear, including rods, reels, and tackle, as well as a selection of lures to entice the crappie. Live bait is part of the experience, but feel free to inquire about catching it yourself for an added thrill.


Before setting sail, please be aware that a local texas fishing license may be required for all members of your group. You can usually obtain this information online, or simply consult with our knowledgeable captain for guidance.


Don't miss the chance to explore the crappie-rich waters of Lake Fork with Crappie Freaks Guide Service. Contact Captain Donny today to start planning your next unforgettable fishing expedition. If you simply enjoy Fishing in Lake Fork, we've got you covered.

Lake Fork Fishing: Non-Stop Action with Crappie Freaks Guide

Non-stop bites all day long! That's how I'd sum up our summer fishing adventure on Lake Fork with Bill from Crappie Freaks Guide Service. We hit the water early in the morning, greeted by clear skies that promised a perfect day on the lake. The conditions couldn't have been better for our outing near Quitman, TX. As we set out from the 35 TX-154 area, I could tell we were in for a treat. Lake Fork's reputation as a premier fishing destination was on full display, and I was eager to show Bill why Crappie Freaks Guide Service is the go-to for anglers looking to make the most of these waters. With our gear rigged and ready, we dove right into the action. I started Bill off with some Texas rigging, a technique that's always a solid choice on Lake Fork. We mixed things up throughout the day, switching to crankbaiting and drop shot fishing to cover different areas and depths. The variety of techniques kept things interesting, and while we didn't land any trophies this time, the constant action made for an engaging day on the water. We wrapped up feeling satisfied with our efforts and the experience of fishing this incredible lake. Lake Fork is known for its potential for big catches, and even though we didn't stick any monsters this time, the sheer number of bites we had throughout the day was impressive. It's days like these that remind me why I love guiding on this lake. The challenge of adapting techniques to the conditions and the fish's behavior is what keeps anglers coming back. As we worked different spots around the lake, I shared some local knowledge about the area and the patterns we were seeing. It's always a pleasure to fish with folks like Bill who are eager to learn and enjoy the experience, regardless of the size of the catch. For those of you thinking about your next fishing adventure, I can't recommend Lake Fork enough. Whether you're an experienced angler or just getting started, there's something here for everyone. At Crappie Freaks Guide Service, we specialize in tailoring trips to make the most of Lake Fork's abundant fishing opportunities. Our "Lake Fork Texas Fishing Guide | Maximum of 2 Anglers Half Day Trip" is perfect for those looking to experience the thrill of fishing these productive waters. We provide all the gear and expertise you need to target various species using techniques like Texas rigging, crankbaiting, and drop shot fishing. The early morning start time gives us the best shot at prime fishing conditions, and with a maximum of two anglers, you're guaranteed personalized attention and instruction. If you're ready to lure in the fun and find your perfect catch on Lake Fork, give us a call. We'll put our local knowledge to work for you, ensuring you have the best possible chance at a memorable day on the water. Whether you're after trophy bass or just want to enjoy a relaxing day fishing, Lake Fork has it all, and we're here to help you make the most of it. Don't miss out on the opportunity to fish one of Texas's premier lakes with experienced guides who know these waters like the back of their hand.

My husband and I came over from South Mississippi to fish Lake Fork. We brought our own boat but also decided to book a charter to help get a feel for the lake and learn some new techniques. We did just that! Donny is an amazing guy who really has a passion for catching crappie and teaching others to do so also! He shared so many valuable tips and techniques that will help us to improve our future fishing trips and make better use of our Livescope! I definitely 100% recommend him! Wind and high pressure made for some tough fishing conditions but he still managed to keep us on fish and we were able to catch a very nice mess of some beautiful crappie! We look forward to future trips with Donny!

October 29, 2025

We caught fish from beginning to end. Can’t wait till we can go again. Thanks Capt for such an amazing experience

October 29, 2025

Super trip!! We caught a lot of fish!! He knew exactly where the fish were and how to catch them!! We will share him with friends and family. Will definitely use him again!! Do not hesitate to use Crappie Freak!! Thank you for a great day!!

October 29, 2025

It was a cold windy day, to start the morning. Don did pull a few tricks out of his bag to get us in fish. Worked very hard fighting the wind and keeping us on fish. Thanks Crappie Freaks

October 29, 2025

Captain Donny spent so much extra time with us in freezing conditions and slow biters! We appreciated the extra time he took! He didn’t have to, but he did!
