LAKE FORK GUIDE ANDREW GRILLS

Trophy bass fishing on world famous Lake Fork

LAKE FORK GUIDE ANDREW GRILLS

Lake Fork truly is a fisherman’s paradise. I am blessed to live on this beautiful trophy bass fishery. If you are planning a bass fishing trip on this lake, I encourage you to give me the opportunity to show you an enjoyable fishing experience. Lake Fork is well known for producing giant bass. I have had the pleasure of seeing many happy anglers catch the biggest bass of their lives. I hope we can do the same! If allowed the privilege of being your Lake Fork guide, I will do my best to meet your expectations for the day.

I cater to a wide variety of fishermen from around the country. Anglers of all ages and skill levels are welcome! While many customers just want to catch bass and have a good time, I also offer instructional trips regarding seasonal fishing patterns, deep water, specific techniques, and how to interpret sonar. No matter what type of trip you’re planning, I believe you’ll enjoy a day on Lake Fork in my 2023 Skeeter FXR 21.

ABOUT LAKE FORK GUIDE ANDREW GRILLS

I am often asked, “What else do you do?” The answer is being a Lake Fork guide is my full-time job, year-round. I live on the shores of this beautiful bass fishery, and it is a blessing to get to fish Lake Fork almost every day. Occasionally, a customer will ask what brought me to Texas. I moved here to fish on what I believe is the best lake on the planet to catch trophy-sized bass. There are quite a few Lake Fork guides to choose from. It is a dream come true for me to be one of them!

I grew up in the mountains of southeastern Kentucky. As a kid, I never missed an opportunity to sneak off to wade the Cumberland River and fish for hard fighting smallmouth bass. As the years passed I worked my way up to fishing the deep mountain lakes nearby. While none of these lakes were known for producing big bass, I always tried to catch the biggest bass I could from the particular body of water I was fishing. I fell in love with fishing for trophy bass to the point that I decided that was what I wanted to do with my life.

In the spring of 2006 I took a fishing trip that would forever change me. I remember the excitement the first morning I launched a boat on Lake Fork. I felt like there would be a bass beside every big tree extending from the water. I had never seen such a “fishy” looking place! From that first cast on Lake Fork, it became my goal to live here and fish the lake every chance I could. I made trips back to Lake Fork several times each year, often for several months at a time.

That dream became a reality when I moved to Lake Fork permanently and began building a business as a full-time bass fishing guide. I’ll never forget how nervous I was before my first trip. It ended up going just fine and that customer still fishes with me every year. To be honest, I still get a little nervous before each trip because I want every customer to be satisfied with their experience and I also want them to come back.

I am very fortunate to get to do what I love to do for a living. Nothing gets me more excited than seeing the joy in a customers eyes when they catch the biggest bass of their life. Its a great feeling to be a part of a memory they will never forget.
