Experience the Best Fishing Charter with Ricky's Guide Service - Learn, Catch, and Make Memories!

Looking for an unforgettable day on the water? Ricky's Guide Service offers the perfect charter for fishing enthusiasts. Captain Ricky Vandergriff, with over 40 years of experience, will ensure you have a fantastic time catching fish and creating lasting memories.

Get ready to fish aboard a 21' Ranger 520 Bass boat. This spacious vessel comfortably accommodates up to 3 anglers, making it ideal for friends, partners, or families with children over 4 years old. With powerful 225 HP outboard engines, you'll reach your fishing spots quickly. Captain Ricky, an expert on Lake Fork, has a remarkable track record of catching Bass weighing over 10 lbs. Prepare to hook your personal best here.

Rest assured, live bait will be provided and kept fresh in the bait tank. This allows you to maximize your fishing time, except when targeting Crappie, where live bait is recommended.

These trips are perfect for the whole family. Captain Ricky excels at making them educational, teaching you about the different species that inhabit the lake and sharing his expert techniques honed over many years of fishing.

Don't forget to bring your fishing license, easily available for purchase online or at the marina. If you have your own fishing rods and reels, Captain Ricky suggests bringing them along for that extra advantage against the big Bass. For beginners, there are Lews rods available as well. At the end of the trip, Captain Ricky is happy to fillet your catch for you. Now all you have to do is decide how to cook your delicious catch!
