We have enjoyed fishing with Rick. I believe Charles uses Jimmy Everett when he takes a guide.
Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish

It's hard to just recommend one guide. Fork has several that are good.

Here's a few to check.

Rick Carter
Jimmy Everett
Tom Reddington
Mark Mitchell
Lance Vick
Kay Dyson- If you can book her (sorry Billy, couldn't resist:-))

I would call several and let them know what you are hoping to accomplish by hiring a guide. Pick the one "you" feel most confortable with.

Tell your boy "Happy Birthday".

What kind of fishing are you wanting to do?

Bass, I know that but deep, shallow, fast, slow.....etc

Alot of the guides do different things.

I had seen Rick Carter 2 out of my last 3 trips to Fork. He had two guys in the boat that obviously did not have a lot of experience. He works extremely hard for his customers as I witnessed. He was even pitching in to bedding bass and then handing the reel to one of them and I watched this guy catch about a 4 pounder off a bed.
Also mentioned to him that I knew Wes and PQ. He responded: "Oh, so you know ole Wes". I admitted to it and asked him not to tell anyone.
Thanking the Lord, all day long

Oz, anytime you want to go, Lets do it. We'll just go out to the main lake and wait for that red, black, and white skeeter to go by with a dark haired woman in the passenger seat and then follow.

Thats what I do.....and it works pretty good!

hehehehe:-) just kidding Billy!

No but really Oz whenever and it wont cost you any beer....more of a whiskey drinker anyway!

You can show me some of Picous honey holes!
