Why book with Ranft Guide Service?
My name is TJ Ranft. I am a third generation fishing guide at Possum Kingdom Lake. Both my father and grandfather were fishing guides on our lake before me. My family moved to Possum Kingdom Lake in 1946. I grew up fishing this beautiful lake and enjoy sharing my passion with others.

My boat is a 21 foot Century, center console that is clean and kid friendly. My tackle and gear are top quality and well maintained.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 2)

FAIR. Water slightly stained; 87 degrees; 0.27 feet above pool. Stripers are slow to fair in 20-40 feet of water. The best bite has been live bait but it can be difficult to find. Fish are moving fast, so you will have to slowly move around and pick them off one at a time. Sand bass are fair to good and moving quickly in 5-20 feet of water on main lake points. Chrome and white seem to be out producing all other colors. Catfish are fair to good on cut shad in 10-20 feet of water fished on the bottom. Baited holes are your best bet to catch numbers but will not produce big fish. Bait with cattle cubes and wait 2-3 hours before fishing. Use punch bait for best results on baited holes. Catfish should be going into spawn soon so it should start to slow down until they are done spawning. Water clarity is 2-6 feet of visibility but slightly stained on the south end. Report by TJ Ranft, Ranft Guide Service. Anticipate increased boater traffic this weekend as we celebrate our Nation’s Independence Day.
