Lake Fork Fishing Guide Jason Hoffman

Lake Fork is home to some of the best fishing guides in the country, and I feel fortunate to be one of them. When I started guiding part-time in 1999, I never dreamed that I would be able to make a career being a fishing guide. In 2001, I left corporate America to begin guiding full-time. It doesn't seem like I've been doing this full-time for 20 years!!!

Whether you are looking to catch that trophy bass of a lifetime, want to learn a new technique, or just have fun catching lots of fish on Lake Fork, I will do everything I can to make your fishing trip a success.

I highly recommend that you talk with any guide you are considering hiring for your fishing trip to Lake Fork. There are many good fishermen and many good fishing guides on Lake Fork, but being a good fisherman doesn’t necessarily make you a good guide. A good guide is a good teacher, communicator, and fisherman. If you will talk with a few of us before you make your decision, it will help you make the right choice for you.

I will work hard to earn and keep your business. Customer satisfaction is, and always will be, my number one priority. By the end of your trip, I want you to feel like you got more than your money's worth. I would love the opportunity to be your guide on Lake Fork. Please feel free to call, text, or email me if you have any questions.

Thank you for your interest in Jason Hoffman's Lake Fork Guide Service. I hope to hear from you soon.

Impounded in 1979, Lake Fork has a surface area of 27,690 acres at normal pool. Lake Fork's reputation as Texas' BIG BASS factory is very well deserved. More trophy sized bass are caught here than any other lake in the country.

Lake Fork is home to the current Texas state record bass which stands at 18.18 pounds and was caught in January 1992. Lake Fork was also home to the previous state record of 17.67 pounds which was caught in November 1986. Lake Fork dominates the Texas Top 50 Big Bass List with 30 entries.

Lake Fork has many large feeder creeks that feed the main body of water. Lake Fork Creek, Garrett Creek, Elm Creek, and Birch Creek are amongst the larger creeks on the northwest end of Lake Fork. Glade Creek, Running Creek, Coffee Creek, and Long Branch are few of the creeks that make up the upper end of Lake Fork's east arm. Little Caney is the large creek in the middle that runs north and south and separates Lake Fork's two arms. Other popular creeks are Penson, White Oak, Wolf, Mustang, Little Mustang, Williams, Rogers, Bell, and Chaney Creek.

All of these creeks offer very good habit that holds fish year around, but they are particularly good during the spring and fall. Most of them have a combination of submerged vegetation and timber that makes them prime areas for holding BIG Lake Fork bass.

Lake Fork is also home to some of the best deep structure you will find anywhere. Schools of big Lake Fork bass will group up on deep road beds, humps, points, ledges, and pond damns all year long, but these are particularly good areas to target in the summer and late fall.

I would be more than happy to be your fishing guide and show you how and where to catch the trophy bass that Lake Fork has to offer. Feel free to give me a call or send me an email if you'd like more information on booking a guided fishing trip.
