Solid Sandbass and Hybrid Action This Week!

We had a fantastic time out on Lewisville Lake today with the crew for our 8-Hour Lewisville Lake Fishing Guides trip. May is a great time to target Crappie and White Bass on the lake, as the warming waters have these species actively feeding in the shallows. The weather was a bit overcast in the morning, but it cleared up nicely by mid-day, giving us ideal conditions to get out and do some serious fishing.

As soon as we hit the water, we started working the banks and coves with our light tackle setups, alternating between jigging and slow-rolling our baits. It wasn't long before the action started heating up, and we began boating some nice Wiper (Hybrid Striped Bass). These fish hit hard and put up a great fight, keeping us on our toes. The bite stayed steady throughout the day, and we were able to land a solid mix of Wiper, along with a few Crappie and White Bass.

The best part was the camaraderie and energy on the boat—the whole group was engaged and having a blast. Between the nonstop action and the beautiful Lake Lewisville scenery, it was the perfect recipe for an unforgettable day out on the water. We laughed, shared stories, and congratulated each other on the nice catches. That's what makes these Lewisville Lake guided trips so special—it's not just about the fish, but the overall experience of spending quality time with good company.

If you're looking to get in on the excellent Crappie and White Bass fishing Lewisville Lake has to offer, I highly recommend booking a trip with Lakeside Guide Service. Our 8-Hour Lewisville Lake Fishing Guides trips are the perfect way to experience it all—from the thrill of setting the hook on a feisty Wiper to the camaraderie of a fun day out on the water with friends. With our top-notch gear, expert guidance, and unbeatable knowledge of the lake, we'll make sure you have an unforgettable time. So what are you waiting for?

Guide Chris Daugherty's journey into the world of fishing began with cherished weekend trips with his father, igniting a lifelong passion for the sport. His early experiences with crappie fishing laid the foundation for a broader interest in bass fishing and competitive fishing tournaments, primarily in East Texas. After relocating back to the Dallas area, Chris renewed his focus on crappie fishing in Lewisville Lake, where he has been honing his skills since 2009. This deep-rooted passion for fishing, combined with a love for teaching, led him to become a guide, aiming to share his expertise with others. As a dedicated fishing guide, Chris embraces the opportunity to teach and inspire anglers of all levels. Every day on the water is a chance to explore new techniques and enjoy the thrill of fishing. His welcoming approach ensures that whether you’re a novice or an experienced angler, you’ll receive personalized instruction and a memorable fishing experience. Chris’s commitment to both fishing and education makes him a standout guide, eager to help others discover the joys of fishing at Lewisville Lake. Guide Chris Daugherty specializes in light tackle and jigging, techniques that enhance the thrill and precision of fishing on Lewisville Lake. Light tackle fishing involves using lighter rods and reels, which not only makes the experience more engaging but also allows for a delicate presentation of baits and lures, ideal for targeting crappie and white bass. Jigging, on the other hand, involves a rhythmic motion of the lure to mimic the movement of prey, effectively enticing fish to bite. Chris’s expertise in these techniques ensures a dynamic and enjoyable fishing experience, tailored to suit both beginners and seasoned anglers. Boat Details:Guide Chris Daugherty operates a 22-foot Dynasty Fishmaster center console boat, built in 2003 and equipped with a single 140HP Suzuki engine.
