Ready to get your lines wet on one of North Texas's premier fishing destinations? Captain Chris and the crew at Lakeside Guide Service have been putting anglers on fish at Lewisville Lake for years, and they know exactly where the crappie and white bass are biting. This isn't just another day on the water – it's your chance to fish with a guide who lives and breathes these waters, using techniques that consistently produce results. Whether you're a weekend warrior looking to up your game or planning a special outing with family, this 4-hour charter delivers the kind of fishing action that keeps folks coming back season after season.
Your fishing adventure kicks off bright and early with Captain Chris, who's been working Lewisville Lake's structure and seasonal patterns longer than most folks have been fishing. This 29,000-acre reservoir serves up some of the best crappie and white bass fishing in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and Chris knows every submerged brush pile, creek channel, and timber line that holds fish. You'll be fishing from a comfortable, well-equipped boat that gives you plenty of room to work – no crowded conditions or fighting for space. The captain handles all the navigation and fish-finding electronics, so you can focus on what you came here to do: catch fish. Plan to show up about 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time so Chris can get you situated with gear and go over the game plan. All the rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided – just bring your valid Texas fishing license, some snacks and drinks, and sunscreen because you'll be spending quality time under that Texas sun.
Captain Chris runs a operation that's all about adapting to what the fish want on any given day. Depending on the season and conditions, you might be working vertical jigs around standing timber, pulling crankbaits through creek channels, or live-lining bait near drop-offs where schools of white bass are feeding. The beauty of fishing with an experienced guide is that he's constantly reading the water, watching the electronics, and adjusting techniques based on what's working. You'll learn how to read your depth finder, understand why certain structures hold fish, and pick up presentation tricks that'll make you a better angler long after this trip ends. Chris uses quality gear that can handle the fight these fish put up, and he's always ready with a backup plan when the primary spots aren't producing. Wind, weather, and fishing pressure can change the game quickly on a big lake like Lewisville, but that's where local knowledge really pays off.

"The three of us ages 81, 45 and 13 had a great time. Our guide, Chris Daugherty was outstanding. He put us on fish and helped our 2 younger members understand the method we were using. Ghe boat was comfortable and roomy enough for all of us. he took time to show my grandson the electronics he used to put us on fish. i would highly recommend Lakeside Guide Service for a trip and plan on using Chris in the future." - Gordon
Crappie fishing at Lewisville Lake is legendary among North Texas anglers, and for good reason. These slab-sided fighters typically run 10-14 inches, with plenty of keepers in the mix and the occasional wall-hanger pushing 15 inches or better. Spring is prime time when crappie move shallow to spawn, but Chris knows the deep-water patterns that produce year-round. These fish school up around submerged timber and brush piles, and once you find them, the action can be non-stop. Crappie have excellent table fare – sweet, flaky white meat that's perfect for a fish fry. They're also great for teaching kids and new anglers since they bite readily and fight just hard enough to be fun without breaking off constantly.
White bass at Lewisville Lake are pure adrenaline on the end of your line. These schooling fish average 12-15 inches and fight way above their weight class, making screaming runs that'll test your drag and your reflexes. Peak season runs from late spring through summer when they chase shad in open water, but Chris targets them year-round by working creek channels and points where they ambush baitfish. When you hook into a school of feeding white bass, it's not uncommon to boat fish on every cast until the school moves on. They're also fantastic eating – firm, mild flesh that's perfect grilled or fried. The key to consistent white bass fishing is covering water and staying mobile, something Captain Chris has mastered through years of experience on this lake.
Lewisville Lake fishing doesn't get much better than this. You're getting a top-rated guide who knows these waters inside and out, quality equipment that's ready to handle whatever bites, and the kind of local knowledge that turns average fishing days into the stories you'll tell for years. With just 2 anglers per trip, you're guaranteed personalized attention and plenty of room to fish comfortably. Captain Chris takes pride in putting his clients on fish while teaching them something new about reading water and fish behavior. Don't let another season slip by wondering what you're missing – grab your fishing license, clear your calendar,

Pomoxis NigromaculatusCrappie are some of the tastiest fish swimming in Lewisville Lake, running 7-12 inches and about a pound on average. You'll find both black and white crappie here - blacks have random speckles while whites show vertical bars down their sides. These fish love hanging around submerged timber, brush piles, and deeper structure during the day, then move shallow at dawn and dusk to feed. Spring spawning season is prime time when they're aggressive and easier to locate in 8-15 feet of water. What makes crappie special is their delicate white meat that's perfect for the dinner table, plus they travel in schools so once you find one, you'll usually catch several. My go-to trick is using small jigs tipped with minnows and working them slowly through the cover - patience pays off with these finicky biters.
Morone ChrysopsWhite bass are the scrappy fighters of Lewisville Lake, typically running 10-12 inches but capable of hitting 18 inches and several pounds. These silver torpedoes with dark horizontal stripes love open water and will aggressively chase schools of shad near the surface. You'll spot them busting baitfish on top, especially during early morning and evening hours from spring through fall. They roam the main lake points, humps, and creek channels in 15-30 feet of water. What gets anglers hooked is their aggressive nature - they hit hard and fight like fish twice their size. Plus, they make excellent table fare with firm, flaky white meat. When you see birds diving and water splashing, get there fast with small spoons or white jigs. Work them quickly through the feeding frenzy and hang on tight.
