Had a great trip with our guide. He constantly put us on fish. If the fish stopped biting, we would move to where the fish were. We caught our limit each day and were extremely satisfied. We have had bad guides before. This guide was hardworking and a master of his craft. He also cleaned all the fish. On a side note I would say he was the toughest guide we have had because when we went with him the temperature was freezing and he barely had time to protect his hands while taking our fish off and baiting our hooks. He didn’t complain about this and had only jokes and a good time for us.

When we got to the dock Captain Ed was ready and smiling. Maybe a 15 minute run and we were getting lines in the water and it didn’t take five minutes after we stoped to get the first nice fish in the boat. Ed has every trick covered, splasher, thumper and real-time sonar to see what was under us. There is no doubt he had started the morning early with the size of the shad he was putting on our hooks. When he thought the action was getting slow we moved on. If he thought the fish too small we moved on. We were at the dock at 7:00 am and had limited out by 9:30 and that included 4 fish over 20 inches, the limit, and 16 fish that were nice filet size. Wonderful day with a captain that worked hard to make our trip pleasant and to be remembered for years to come.

The weather was windy and the lake was choppy but it was the only time my son and I had available so Captain Ed agreed to take us anyway.  We only caught half our limit because of the conditions but we had a great time and Ed really knew his way around the lake and where to find the fish.  I would definitely recommend Captain Ed to anyone looking to go fishing on Lake Texoma.
