"What an amazing experience! Phil communicated very well prior to the day with great directions. He was on time, prepared, and concerned with safety. He is knowledgeable, knowing exact how to find the fish. He provides great instruction on how to use the equipment and different techniques on how to catch various fish. It was a great experience!"

"We went out with Phill this last Saturday as a Christmas present for my father-in-law. Everything from booking through the end of the trip taking filets home was excellent. Leading up to the trip, Phill's communication was excellent making sure we had everything we needed. The boat and chairs were very comfortable, which was critical for my father-in-law as..."

"This was the greatest experience I’ve had with any guide. Phill was the best teacher and guide out there in all of Texas. He teaches well and makes fishing a breeze! It was my first time fishing and if you look at the photos you can tell that he’s the best person to fish with for your first time. I recommend this to anyone in any skill level. Definitely comi..."

"Do you like catching fish? As in more fish than you can possibly eat? Then Phil's your guy...or better said, Captain! Phil took our sales team out the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and we had 15 hybrid keepers in the boat basically before sunrise. He definitely knows his way around the lake and every spot we hit we landed fish. In addition to catching..." Read more

"Man I can’t recommend Phil enough! We had the best fishing trip we’ve ever had on Lewisville. Our first spot wasn’t fruitful and we were accompanied by 4 other guide boats. Phil said he’s going to “swing for the fences” to help us track the larger fish. Well about 10 minutes later we struck gold and reached our limit. The beauty was we were all alone in tha..."

"Phil was great and friendly! He was knowledgeable and knew how to get us on the fish. He worked hard to keep our lines in the water by baiting, unhooking fish, and generally being a great guide. After we were done, he filleted and bagged our catch for us. It was my first charter and I had a great time. I 100% recommend you book Phil whenever you’re in the ar..." Read more

"The boat and gear were top-notch, and everything was provided, clean, and in excellent condition. What really stood out, though, was the guide’s patience, professionalism, and passion for the sport. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a total beginner, they tailor the experience perfectly to your level."

"I recently had the pleasure of spending a day on the water with Phill’s guide service, and it was hands down one of the best fishing experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we launched, the guide’s knowledge of the lake and understanding of fish behavior was clear. We were on fish all day long"

"Giant fish!!! caught our limit in 1 hour!!! Then let us keep catching and release until dusk. Super chill, good vibes, nice speaker system on the boat. You just sit back relax. He puts bait, unhooks the fish and filets it for you. Best charter I've done."

"We had an awesome fishing experience with Phil. This was my 1st time fishing in Lake Taxoma. We caught lots 42 large Striped Bass. Phil is very knowledgeable about fishing & lake topography which was the key reason we were able to catch quite a few large 18”+ striped bass when most other folks returned with 2-4 fishes due to over forecasting weather."

"Phill is a top-notch guide. We went out with him on a pretty windy day, and he was still putting us on the fish. He knew exactly where to go and how to adjust based on the conditions. You can tell he’s been doing this a long time—super knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what he does. His boat and gear were top of the line, and it made a huge differen..." Read more

"10/10 experience with Phil. He’s a great guide, down to earth, and makes it a ton of fun. We went out on a colder day not expecting much action, but man were we wrong! It takes skill to fish successfully in freshwater, truly an art. Phil’s got the skills to get you the best luck out on the water. I have a boat and fished many times, never caught fish like I..."

"PHENOMENAL TIME! Phil is a very knowledgeable and personable fishing guide. It was like fishing with my buddy from college. I took my wife and 2 boys to fish and Phil put us on the fish right away and the fish were POPPIN. If it wasn’t for the shorter daylight, we would’ve stayed out there longer catching hybrid bass all night. It was definitely a horseshoe..." Read more
