Lake Lewisville Fishing Guide, Wes Campbell targets White Bass and Hybrid Striper year-round and will be happy to show clients all of his secret spots.
Lake Lewisville Fish Species
This fantastic metropolitan fishery sports very good Largemouth Bass, Spotted Bass, White Crappie, Blue, and Channel Catfish, but we are addicted to the Hybrid Striper and White Bass.
Hybrid Striper Fishing Lake Lewisville
Why are Hybrid Striper so much fun to catch? Lake Lewisville Hybrid Striper are stocked each year and grow very fast. These eating machines feed on Lake Lewisvilles’s abundant shad population and reach legal size in two to four years. What is a Hybrid Striper? A Hybrid Striped Bass, also known as a Wiper or Whiterock Bass, is a hybrid between the Striped Bass and the White Bass. It can be distinguished from the striped bass by broken rather than solid horizontal stripes on the body. Follow Hybrid Striper for more information.
Trophy Hybrid Striper on Lake Lewisville
The average size Hybrid Striper on Lake Lewisville is two to five pounds and a trophy ten pounders are not uncommon. We target trophy Hybrid Striper with live-bait and artificial lures year-round. If you like to fish with artificial lures we can meet your needs. If you are looking to relax and catch Hybrid Striper we can drift live-bait. From neophyte to experienced anglers we enjoy fishing with them all.
- Spring (March to April)
- Summer (May to September)
- Fall (October to November)
- Winter (December to February)
As the temperatures warm up the White Bass and Hybrid Striper become more active and we will put our bait-tank back in the boat. All spring long we can drift live-bait, throw soft plastic swimbaits, or vertical jig slab spoon lures and have great success. We get very busy for Spring Break so make sure you book in advance for those popular dates.
Summer is our busy season and for good reason. We can catch limits of White Bass and Hybrid Striper drifting live-bait, but our top-water action starts each summer. White Bass and Hybrid Striper will push shad into big bait-balls and push them to the surface. Summer trips will combine live-bait and lures and the action is fantastic.
Fall is our favorite season. As the weather cools off the Hybrid Striper will feed heavily preparing for winter. All techniques catch fish in the fall so pick your favorite and book a trip with the number one rated Lake Lewisville Fishing Guide Wes Campbell.
Winter Hybrid Striper and White Bass fishing on Lake Lewisville is an artificial lure pattern. We will search for schools of shad and Dead Stick for Hybrids with heavy jig heads and soft plastic flukes. Dead Sticking will produce our biggest Hybrid Striper of the season. The water temperatures are cold (surface Temperatures below 60 degrees) and the presentation is slow. Break out the cold-weather gear and enjoy small crowds and great Hybrid Striper and White Bass fishing on Lake Lewisville.

Meet Lake lewisville Fishing Guide Wes Campbell
Lake Lewisville Fishing Guide Wes Campbell has a lifetime of fishing experience! Fishing has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. My Dad introduced me to fishing and helped my passion grow. I fished every chance I had growing up. Throughout my younger years, I was always riding my bike around to ponds and canals trying to “BendaRod”! My Dad bought us a little bass boat to expand our fishing and time together. Middle School began my journey of fishing on a boat, and for the most part, Lake Lewisville and Lake Tawakoni were the only lakes we fished. Early in my high school career, I kept seeing a particular fishing guide always coming in with these giant coolers of fish.
I would be fishing the same lake at the same time and wouldn’t even sniff what he was catching. We made friends with each other throughout the years, and one day something clicked between us. I believe it was our mutual love of fishing. I’ll never forget the day..He jumped in my little bass boat and got on my GPS and said, “You need to fish here and here and here” and so on and so on as he was putting fishing spots in my GPS.
Wes Campbell Lifelong Angler
He then invited my friend and me to jump in his boat to go fishing with him. We obliged and went out and caught a bunch of big fish! Roger Gray is his name, and he ignited my love for fishing and thirst for information and knowledge. We go fishing with each other just about every month to this day, and I still learn something every time I’m out with him.
I purchased a Kenner center console boat my second year in college. I worked at Bass Pro Shops and guided for Hybrids and Sandbass throughout college. It was fun! After that I found myself teaching and coaching football for the next six years, (guiding part-time in the summers) until I realized that I wanted to do something else. I was fishing every chance I had, but I wanted more. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So here I am doing what I LOVE for a living and that’s putting people on lots of big fish!
Full-Time Fishing Guide
This is no longer a part-time job. It is my passion and purest enjoyment in life. I guide full time all year round. I am on the water five to seven days a week. Even if I do not have a trip with clients, I am on the lake scouting and keeping up with the fish, so when you get there it will be a fishing trip that you’ll never forget! I give everything I have to every fishing trip. I will ALWAYS be honest with you about what’s taking place on the lake and how the fishing is.
I enjoy teaching people how to fish and seeing their success. I love taking kids fishing as well. The whole family is welcome. My coaching and competitive background always keeps me growing and striving to be the best guide on the water.
Hand Crafted Guided Fishing Trips
I will cater to whatever kind of fishing trip you are interested in. If for some reason we do not catch fish, you DO NOT pay. You will find that most guides do not offer this deal. If I am not confident that we will catch fish, then I will not take you out. We will fish out of the largest guide boat operating on Lake Lewisville. It is a 24 ft center console with plenty of room to fish up to 6 people.
It is safe, dry, comfortable, and set up very functional for fishing I have the latest equipment to help ensure our success. I specialize in live bait fishing, but I have no problem using whatever technique that’s putting fish in the boat most efficiently.
Certain times of the year require specific techniques to maximize the catch. If you are interested in an artificial lure trip, I can accommodate that as well. Your fish will be filleted and bagged for your trip home. I am licensed and insured. My goal is to create wonderful memories with my clients! Holler at me any time you want to go “BendaRod”! Thank you for taking the time to read this and for checking out my website.
