Expectations
Before we begin to fish I will give some basic instruction on how we will be catching the fish that day. You can use my equipment or yours just please let me know in advance which you prefer. I normally use artificial lures but will use minnows if I know you prefer them. I will tie on lures, bait hooks, and take the fish off if you like. I am there to make your fishing trip enjoyable, make memories, and to teach you how to catch more fish. Trips are very informative and loaded with valuable information to make you a better fisherman on your next outing. The half day rate will give us about 4 - 5 hours on the lake and the full day will give us about 8 - 9 hours. We will be fishing from a NEW LUND BOAT. It will comfortably fish 4-5 adults. If we limit out on one species we can try for another. Most importantly I just want you to have fun and feel comfortable on the boat with me. I take out lots of new fisherman that just want to catch fish. If that is you, please let me know so I can concentrate on putting you on some fish instead of spending lots of time teaching. I carry a digital camera and will take pictures through out the day. This is a free service. I will then post them on www.Bigcrappie.com for you to copy. Give me a call or email with a date in mind and we will set up a trip. 

FAQ's

1.  Do I need a fishing license? 

Yes, please purchase your license before the day of the trip. 
2. Do you provide drinks & food?
I will provide water but please bring a small cooler for anything additional you might want. 
3. Do I need my own fishing gear?
No, I will provide all gear needed for the trip. You may bring your own if you like though. 
4. Do you guarantee catching fish?
Yes. BUT, If you must go even though I recommend not going (high wind, etc..) I will not guarantee fish. There are tough days of course but we generally catch some even on the toughest days. 
5. Will you guarantee a limit?
No! Limits are often caught but never guaranteed. Crappie patterns can change by the hour and although the limit is generous it does not represent the average daily catch. 
6. Do you fish with jigs or minnows? 

Both. I am an avid jig fisherman but I am not about to pass up the opportunity to see a customer catch fish if it takes minnows to do this... 
7. Do you clean the fish? 

Yes I will fillet the fish and put the fillets in zip-lock bags ready to freeze for no additional cost for this service, no matter how many fish you have.

8. What if the weather is bad? 

We will reschedule if needed
9. Do you offer discounts? 

Yes, I offer discounted trips to those people who call me and want to go the same day, assuming I am free. I will not book trips in advance for discounts. The only way to get this is to call me the day you want to go and if I am not already booked I will take you. 
10. What is my advantage of hiring you versus another guide? 

I don’t just guide on the weekends or on my vacation time, I guide full time and depend on catching fish & earning your repeated business. When I am not guiding I am finding new fishing spots. I don’t live in another city, I live right here at Cedar Creek Lake. I can see the lake conditions from my back door. If the lake is too rough the morning of the trip I can save you the drive time by calling you before you leave. If it’s storming in Dallas but its ok here I can let you know to come on out. I also get very current fishing reports from other anglers here on the lake. When the fishing is really hot at a particular spot I know about it. These are just some of the advantages I believe I have to offer you. Give me a call and we will set up your fun fishing trip. 
11. A two week notice is required to cancel trips.
