Fishing Guide Service

On Grand Lake, Oklahoma

for  White Sand Bass, Catfish & Spoonbill

 

    

   Beautiful Grand Lake O' (Over) the Cherokees was created by the WPA in 1940 with the completion of the Pensacola Dam on the Grand (or Neosho) River.  The Pensacola Dam is now on the National Register of Historic Places and is managed by the Grand River Dam Authority,  with approximately 60, 000 acres of water spanning a distance of 60 miles in length, with 1300 miles of shoreline fishing is in abundance.

         White bass, this sporty little fish, rarely gets above three pounds, but a two pounder will test your tackle. Blue Catfish, one of the best fish to eat, can be caught year round with the best rod and reel fishing being in the fall and winter.    Spoonbill, a prehistoric fish, is one of Grand Lake's main attractions for fishermen, with fish in the 35 to 70 pound range as an average.

 
 

      

 

LET'S GO FISHING ON GRAND LAKE FOR WHITE SAND BASS, CATFISH OR SPOONBILL!!

 
 

Ray and Sharon Austin are your guides.

       A man who loves to fish and hunt never gives up, this is your guide Ray Austin.  He has been fishing since he was old enough to hitch a ride on his fathers shoulders and carry the rods and reels while they went to their favorite fishing hole. Nothing seems to stop Ray, even his hunting accident couldn't do it. This tradition of going fishing as a very little tike has been passed on from father to son for generations. What 's the best way to spend quality time with your family, FISHING  (fun, relaxation and time together).

       Sharon also loves to fish.  She completes the guiding team by assisting the customers on the boat with any need.  

    Ray and Sharon live in Belle Vista, Arkansas, but Grand Lake is where their favorite fishing hole is for white sand bass, catfish and paddlefish spoonbill.  Sharon is the 1st mate, assisting with the fishing trips on Grand Lake, Grove, Oklahoma.  She is well experienced with each and every type of fish and everything that goes along with it.

    Ray and Sharon can accommodate the disabled like no other guide. Ray has been disabled from a hunting accident since 1992. We have a customized wheelchair lift on the boat trailer that allows for safe and easy transfers. We understand special needs and will do everything possible to accommodate our special customers.

     Ray is an associate guide with Dempsey's Fishing Guide Service who is the number 1 fishing guide on Grand Lake.  For more information check out their web site at www.grandlakefishingguide.com

     Come join us for a fun and productive fishing trip.  We are family oriented but can accommodate corporate trips.
