One for the books today! I took a crew of three out on Lake Lavon this spring morning for an early start, and the clearing afternoon weather made for perfect conditions. We were fixin' to target what was biting best with our Action-Packed Guided Trip with Captain Zachary, and y'all couldn't have asked for better timing with ZD Fishing Guide.

With our gear rigged and ready, we focused our efforts on bottom fishing, jigging, and trolling techniques to locate the active white bass. The crew hammered down on these fish throughout the trip, and I reckon Lake Lavon showed us exactly why it's such a productive fishery for white bass. We managed to boat 75 white bass total with a lot of fish over 14 inches, and the crew hit their 3 man limit. The tug is the drug, and these fish were giving us plenty of action all morning long!

If you're thinking about getting out on Lake Lavon for some serious white bass action, our Seasonal Half Day trips targeting catfish, crappie, and white bass are perfect for anglers wanting to experience what Wylie has to offer. I specialize in putting clients on active fish using proven techniques like bottom fishing, jigging, and trolling that work consistently on this lake. Whether you're after white bass limits or just want to enjoy a productive day on the water, Lake Lavon fishing with ZD Fishing Guide delivers the kind of action that keeps anglers coming back. The spring bite has been outstanding, and with our Action-Packed Guided Trip approach, we focus on targeting whatever species are biting best. Give us a holler if you want to experience some big ol' white bass fishing on one of Texas' most productive lakes!

Lavon Catfish 12/7/2025

<p><div>Had an amazing group out Saturday for what would end up being one if the more difficult trips of the year to get fish. What started out as a catfish combo trip quickly turned into a livescope class with young Beau here quickly becoming a master. We had no problem finding fish, but they were so turned off eating wise that we had to literally put our lures next to their mouth and tease them to get a response. Fortunately Beau was a trooper and quickly became proficient in live scoping catfish! <span style="font-size: 1em;">The rapid decrease in water temperature mixed with the post front conditions seemed to have had a serious short term affect on the fishes feeding patterns, this will smooth out quickly and the fish are likely </span><span style="font-size: 1em;">already settling into the change as we speak. </span></div></p>

<p><div>Took my dad out for a fun trip today to celebrate my birthdayand crushed the blues. This trip was truly a blessing. I’m beyond grateful to have gotten to create these awesome memories with my father! </div></p>

<p><div>Hit Lavon for catfish today and slammed the channels again. Caught 50 quickly then moved over to blues. Overall great weather and great day. </div></p>

Fall Channel Cats 11/23/2025

Catfish 10/08/2025

Had Mark, Marcus, and Rory out today for catfish. We hammered the Channel Catfish, putting 50 in the boat in 2 hours, then moved to Blues. The Blues didn't cooperate today, but the amazing weather made it all worth it. The boat ramps have huge shade basically all day currently. perfect bait for catfishing.
