Fort Worth Fishing Guide Report July 2022

The July fishing here in Fort Worth was simply nothing short of amazing, and I fully expect this bite to continue through August and September.

01July recap

825 Fish in One Week. One Boat.

We've been consistently catching excellent numbers of channel catfish and blue catfish daily. There are a lot of one- to five-pound catfish, with plenty of small throwback fish mixed in and some occasional larger fish.

WE BOATED OVER 825 FISH LAST WEEK ALONE, AND THAT'S JUST ON MY BOAT!

We offer guided trips on a number of DFW lakes, but right now we're fishing Eagle Mountain Lake in Fort Worth.

There's a video below with a quick fishing report update.

Recent Photos

Just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who came and fished with us in July and supported North Texas Catfish Guide Service. We appreciate you putting your trust in us and supporting our business. I think I missed a few photos, but here's a good mess of them. July was a PHENOMENAL month of fishing, and August and September will be the same.

02Plan ahead

Trophy Catfish.

I'm starting to get a lot of calls and emails about booking fall and winter trophy catfish trips. Now is a great time to get them booked. My schedule usually books really heavily once we get a couple of days of cooler weather, so now is the time to get your choice of dates. Book online.

03Merch

New Hats.

Several of you have asked where you can get one of the hats you've been seeing on social media. They're available in the Lakeview Marina store, the marina we work out of on Eagle Mountain Lake.
