I have been guiding full time on Lake Fork since February 1996 and I want to share with you my fish catching secrets that I have accumulated after all these years on the lake. Lake Fork is known all over the world for it’s trophy bass fishing. However, Lake Fork is full of giant crappie, blue catfish and flathead catfish. On this channel we are going to teach you the techniques that I as a guide use to catch these species.

      Yes sir Calvin. I did it for years with regular 2d sonar. We also used to catch them just dabbling around anything we could visually see along with casting a roadrunner. Things sure have changed. I still catch a bunch in the spring casting a roadrunner. But having electronics is a must these days for keeping my customers on fish. Thanks for the comment 👍
