Blair's East Texas Fishing Guide - Spotlight

I was born and raised in East Texas and have fished these waters as long a I can remember.  I love being outdoors and consider it a privilege to share that experience with others.  I enjoy showing people what they sometimes miss in this fast paced world we now live in.  I want to give everyone, the whole family,  a place where they can go to relax and have fun.  I use a 22' center console Mako boat, which gives plenty of room to fish.  I primarly fish for bass, stripers, catfish, and about anything that's biting.  I guide in Lake Nacogdoches, Lake Palestine, and Sam Rayburn Resevoir.  I not only take people fishing, but have been asked to do day trips on the water just for them to relax and sightsee.  I want everyone to have a fun and relaxing time and to leave with a smile and some good stories.   So pick a lake and give me a call!
