Jonathan Lancaster, Captain at Lancaster Guide Service

Lancaster Guide Service invites you to enjoy a full day on the legendary waters of Lake Fork, one of the most celebrated bass fisheries in the United States. Led by Captain Jonathan, a lifelong angler who grew up competing in youth casting events and fishing the Bassmaster Classic at a young age, every trip blends skill, patience, and a deep understanding of this lake’s unique ecosystem. After leaving a career in finance during the COVID era, he committed himself to guiding full-time, sharing the joy of fishing with guests of all ages and experience levels.


Lake Fork is famous for producing trophy largemouth bass thanks to its structure, habitat, and consistent weather patterns. It also offers year-round action for crappie and catfish, making it a flexible destination for every kind of angler. Whether you're targeting a personal-best bass, hoping to fill a cooler with crappie, or simply want a relaxing day on the water, Captain Jonathan builds each trip around what matters most to you. He ties his own jigs for crappie, makes his own bait for catfish, and adjusts techniques based on your skill level, from beginners learning the basics to seasoned anglers ready for a challenge.


You’ll fish from a well-equipped Phoenix bass boat designed for comfort and performance on Lake Fork. Quality rods, reels, tackle, and lures are provided, along with live bait when needed. Guests only need a valid Texas fishing license, sun protection, drinks, and any personal items for the day. Water and ice are included, and alcohol is permitted in moderation as long as glass containers and hard liquor stay off the boat.


Peak season runs from March through June, when bass and crappie move shallow to spawn and the action is at its best. Winter months bring excellent crappie fishing, a seasonal highlight that many guests overlook but often becomes a favorite for those who try it. Family-friendly options, short introductory trips, and scenic lake tours are also available for visitors who want something more relaxed.


Whether you're chasing your first catch or your next trophy, Lancaster Guide Service delivers a memorable day on Lake Fork, built on patience, experience, and a genuine passion for helping guests enjoy the water.
