What to expect!

Half days are 4 hours on the water. I do not include food but do supply water and ice. Joe Pool has a great restaurant to grab a bite after the trip.

I will teach, offer pointers or simply take you fishing your way. All at your request. I will fish on the trip while instructing and finding fish only. I practice catch and release of largemouth bass and give you the option on Crappie, Sand Bass and Catfish.

I focus on catching fish for fun and for the frying pan.. If I don't meet the expectations I we have agreed to before the trip, your next trip is free!!!

Fish cleaning available on weekend trips

I will remove fish, re-tie lures and re-bait in a live bait situation. I do require you have a Texas Fishing License before you arrive for the trip as it can be time consuming at the marinas.

I highly encourage that everyone wear sunglasses. Many times clients don't supply them for the kiddos and it can be miserable on their eyes. Its also a safety precaution. Children 17 and under are required to bring their own life jacket and they must wear it at all times.

Welcome!
My name is Howell Dodd. I am Licensed Texas Freshwater Fishing guide in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I guide primarily for white bass, crappie and panfish. My home lake is Lake Joe Pool located in the central portion of the Dallas/ Ft. Worth Metroplex. Although I have guided on other lakes in the past I have chosen to fish the lake that I fish the best, and that's Joe Pool.

(scroll to the bottom for current rates)

White bass are my favorite fish to pursue on Joe Pool. Limits are achievable depending on your skill level and the fish willing to cooperate. White bass are your path of least resistance for a fish fry and I can teach you methods of locating the species and enticing them to bite year round. If you are camping at Loyd park contact me about cooking your catch for you at your campsite.

Crappie fishing is great right now and I offer a very educational on-the-water class on fishing for this scrumptious fish. Joe Pool is packed with brush piles, standing timber and is equipped with 2 great bridges that crappie love. These trips are not for novices, casting ability and your own equipment is preferred. I will supply the baits.

-Lake Joe Pool- $200 (. This trip is for fishing and fishing instruction. I teach how to read a depth finder, best patterns to use and any other questions you might have, all while you fish. Limits of fish are very achievable on these trips. This trip is for two people preferably but will take a third party for $100 total . I will clean your fish and bag them on these trips for $25 or you may take them home in your cooler.

Summer fun trips- I offer afternoon trips in the spring and in the fall. I will start these trips in April. These trips begin 2.5 hours prior to sunset and end at sunset. The cost of this trip is $150. Catch and release or take your fish with you only.
