TEXAS BEST FISHING GUIDES
LAKE TAWAKONI GUIDE SERVICE
Capt Michael Littlejohn
I am U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain and hold guide licenses both fresh and salt from the State of Texas. I have been guiding since 1998. As a matter of fact, I put myself through college guiding fishermen for catfish and crappie on Cedar Creek Lake. But, before that at a very young age my father and grandfather (both excellent fishermen in their own right) introduced me to lifelong passion of fishing.
I think my mere drive to provide the best guide service in TEXAS, mixed with the fact i'm among the youngest among my colleges pushes me. I always try to top my last trip and it snowballs from there. I leave it all on the lake...giving it everything I have on EVERY trip. It's just the competitive nature in me. From stretching the string on the Texas Gulf Coast, to kayaking the devils river and fishing for small mouth bass, my love for fishing in Texas has been long lived. Over the last several years, my desire has grown to teach others how to fish. Nothing is better than spending time w/ folks on the water and watching them enjoy themselves catching fish, sharing stories and making lifelong memories.
I am also an avid competitive tournament trophy blue cat fisherman. The sport and conservation of the Trophy Blue Catfish has grown and so has the desire of people to learn to catch these fish. Something I enjoy is to help others learn about the large blue catfish and help fellow fishermen learn to catch them on rod and reel.
When it comes down to it, hardly anything compares to catching large crappie on light tackle – year round. No matter what time of the year, I enjoy teaching others to catch large barn door crappie on Lakes Tawakoni and Cedar Creek. I also travel to other lakes and help other fishermen fine tune their electronics and side-imaging. I enjoy tweaking the electronics to maximize their potential for any application of fishing. When off the water, I enjoy photography, videography, video editing, guitar, playing football, outdoor writing, yard work and spending time w/ my wife and family.

Captain Teri Littlejohn
I am one of the few freshwater/ saltwater Captain & Guides in Texas who happens to be yes...a WOMAN! Don't let that fool ya, since I was 5 years old, I have been chasing both skinned and scaly fish in the great state of Texas. I remember at a young age chasing trout and redfish on the Texas coast and also sitting under the bridge on Ray Hubbard catching crappie. Through the years, I have developed a desire to share my passion for fishing with others.
I am one of the only known female Trophy Catfish guides in the US. Living on Lake Tawakoni and fishing with Michael has given me a platform to venture on my own and guide other men, women and kiddos on Trophy Blue Catfish, Crappie, White Bass and Striper. My 2016 Blazer Bay Boat and is equipped to fish with the latest in electronics including Garmin Live Scope & Helix humminbird. My favorite type of fishing is Trophy Blue Catfish but I also guide for channel catfish, hybrid/striper, & white bass fish. I am Certified in CPR and First Aide. I also specialize in introducing women to fishing. As Seen on Fox Sports Southwest - Ask the Pro Segments

I grew up just a few miles from the banks of Tawakoni in the town of Quinlan. This gave me the opportunity to spend my summers on the waters fishing and learning all the “go-to” spots. I have always loved the outdoors from playing sports as a kid to hunting and fishing, but fishing has always been my favorite outside sport.
My kids are now at the age that they love going out in the boat and fishing with me. I have realized that not only do I enjoy the sport of fishing, but I enjoy sharing my experiences and knowledge to others whether it is my young kids, family or friends. I have always had a competitive side in anything I have done in life. This inspires me to do the best at anything I do. I enjoy fishing tournaments because of not only the competition but talking to other anglers and listening to their stories and secrets to finding the best fishing holes. The excitement of reeling in the big one is one feeling that cannot be compared to any other feeling you will experience. Let me offer you the first-class fishing trip that you will remember forever. |

My name is Adam and I was born and raised in East Texas. I have spent every chance I get to fish these amazing Texas lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. I literally have been fishing since I was old enough to walk.
I’ve always been super competitive and very passionate about fishing and isn’t a much better feeling than when a line gets tight! I’m a husband and father of two, and have been blessed to introduce fishing and the outdoors to them. There are very few things in life as exciting as seeing a kiddo catch their first fish. I spend free time with my family, traveling, and occasionally get a wife’s “pass” to compete in KATS-(Kayak Anglers Tournament Series) that I’m a part of. When I’m not fishing I enjoy snow skiing and hunting and yes….more Fishing. |

The sport of fishing has been an active part of my life for as long as I can remember. It has also been a common thread in the relationships I have with my family and friends. From the time I remember, I have had a fishing pole in my hand. My grandfather, mom and dad inspired my fishing passion. We spent many nights on the lake chasing carp, buffalo, gar and my favorite, bowfin. I enjoy trying new methods and catching new species.
I have had to opportunity to build memories fly fishing, saltwater fishing, spearfishing, and bow fishing. After high school, I while worked my way through college where I graduated from Texas A&M. I spent the next 15 years traveling for work and fishing all over America. I have been blessed with the opportunity to chase a variety of species of fish from parrot fish in Maui to redfish in Florida and several species in between. I am competitive by nature and want to give customers the best experience I can on the water. Filling up the cooler or targeting quality sized fish is my desire. I strive hard to make todays trip better than yesterdays. In this area of the globe my favorite fish to target is the crappie. I also enjoy the fast action white bass and hybrid stripers give customers. In my free time I enjoy spending it with family, passing my passion for fishing to my son. |

Growing up on the Texas Gulf Coast, fishing has been a way of my life. For the last 10 years, I have pursued and enjoyed targeting white bass, crappie, hybrids and channel catfish, As a football coach and teacher, I enjoy teaching others the art of working a crappie jig and setting the hook on shallow water catfish.
For years I have competed in crappie tournaments as well as catfish tournaments. Lake Tawakoni is by far the best lake to target both of these fish.
Choose me to put y'all on some big Slab Crappie!
