Book with Floyd Slocum
Guide Floyd has dedicated his life to the art of fishing. Having participated in numerous fishing tournaments over the years, he has transitioned into his current role as a professional guide. Now, Guide Floyd specializes in teaching others how to catch Catfish, particularly those seeking to land a trophy specimen. He takes immense pleasure in mentoring young enthusiasts and sharing his expertise in this rewarding sport.
For those interested in experiencing top-notch catfishing, Guide Floyd offers his services through F.L. Catfish Fishing Guide. His preferred location is Lake Tawakoni, renowned for its exceptional catfishing opportunities. Guide Floyd's extensive experience on this lake, honed through years of personal fishing and competitive events, has equipped him with a deep understanding of the best techniques and spots for successful catfishing. He has channeled his passion into guiding others, helping them achieve their fishing goals.
Guide Floyd’s guided trips are designed to be family-friendly, making them an excellent opportunity to introduce children to the joys of fishing. Parents are encouraged to bring their kids along and allow them to learn the fundamentals of rod handling and fish catching. This early exposure helps instill a lifelong appreciation for the sport and nature.
The fishing excursions take place on a spacious 24-foot pontoon boat, which can accommodate up to four guests. The boat is equipped with a 75 HP Yamaha engine and features GPS technology to facilitate smooth navigation on the lake.
During the trips, the primary technique employed is drift fishing, which simplifies the equipment requirements. Guide Floyd provides high-quality rods and reels, and live bait is used to attract the Catfish. At the end of each trip, Guide Floyd will also take care of cleaning the catch. Guests are advised to bring a cooler if they plan to keep their fish for later consumption.
The cost of the trip includes all necessary fishing equipment and cleaning services. However, participants will need to purchase their fishing license and bring along some snacks and drinks for the day.
With F.L. Catfish Fishing Guide, Guide Floyd is committed to helping his clients succeed in their fishing endeavors. Book a trip and prepare for an exciting and potentially rewarding catfishing adventure!

I arranged this trip for my husband and son for Father’s Day, and they were thrilled with the experience. They had a fantastic time catching plenty of fish and praised Captain Floyd for his friendly demeanor. The trip was a huge hit, and the fish they caught was absolutely delicious!

My daughter, granddaughter, and I set off from the Tawakoni boat harbor with Captain Floyd at 6:30 AM. We headed to a prime fishing spot on the lake and used shad and cheese bait to reel in a total of 15 Blue Cats and Channel Cats. The trip was fantastic, and Captain Floyd expertly filleted our catch. We enjoyed a delicious meal of fresh fish that very night. I highly recommend Captain Floyd—he’s excellent with kids and has a wonderfully relaxed demeanor. Overall, a great trip!
