Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

He demonstrates remarkable expertise in locating fish even during tough conditions, helping anglers land personal bests like 15-inch Crappie while teaching effective techniques that work.

Chris connects naturally with anglers of all ages and experience levels, from complete beginners to seasoned fishermen. He accommodates special requests like switching to his older pontoon for guest comfort and patiently teaches kids proper fishing techniques.

The charter was canceled by the operator three days before the scheduled trip. This is an automated update.

Great trip! Capt. Chris put us on Crappie even with tough conditions. Landed my personal best at 15 inches.

I had a special request to use Chris’s older pontoon so my brother could be more comfortable, and he made it happen on short notice. He listened and worked with us without hesitation. We had a great, relaxing trip and enjoyed a fish fry at home the next day. Thanks again, Chris!

My buddy Scott and I booked a Crappie trip with Chris on Lake Lewisville, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Captain Chris is a great guy who really knows his stuff. He put us on fish at every spot— they were just finicky that day, but that’s fishing. We still caught enough to be satisfied. It was a laid-back, enjoyable time with good company and a guide who clearly knows what he’s doing. I’ll definitely book with him again and highly recommend others do the same.

Captain Chris was on time, well prepared, and most importantly, got us on fish. He was great with my boys—patient and helpful, teaching them how to fish. We all caught Sand Bass, Hybrids, and Catfish.

I've done several guided trips around the DFW lakes, and this was one of the best. Chris used his experience and gear to put me on fish quickly. He’s professional, easy to get along with, and truly focused on making the trip enjoyable. I limited out halfway through, but we kept fishing and releasing so I could keep learning. Highly recommend—whether you're fishing solo like me, with a group, or bringing the family.

The captain knew his stuff and was clearly passionate about fishing. He worked hard to get us on White Bass and Hybrids, and we had a great time reeling them in. Definitely booking again.

We had an awesome time on the water. Chris was patient, professional, and connected easily with the teenage boys in our group. We made some great memories and brought home 20 fish. I’d definitely book another trip.

I’m new to Crappie fishing and wanted to learn as much as I could about fishing on Lake Lewisville. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and shared his insights in a clear, easy-to-understand way. He answered every question I had—and even the ones I didn’t think to ask. Best of all, he put us on Crappie. I had a great time and highly recommend Chris and Lakeside Guide Service for any kind of fishing on Lake Lewisville.

I had an excellent fishing trip with Chris as our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience both fun and educational. He knew exactly where to go and took time to teach us the right techniques, which made for a successful day on the water. Chris was also great with kids—patient, encouraging, and made everyone feel welcome. It was a great experience for all ages. I highly recommend booking with him and will definitely be back for another trip!

I booked Chris for my birthday this year, and it was fantastic! Despite being new to fishing, we caught plenty of fish and learned a lot. Chris made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend him! :)

My son and his two friends had an excellent time. Even though the captain thought the fish weren’t biting much, they said, “We caught the most fish we’ve ever caught!” Chris went above and beyond to find schools of fish, making my son’s birthday unforgettable. We’ll definitely book with him again!
