Captain Matt Loetscher

Living The Dream Guide Service is a premier guide service located on Toledo Bend, Sam Rayburn and some smaller lakes for targeted trophy bass trips. We specialize in bass and crappie. Living The Dream has 14 guides, 9 of which are licensed Captains.

We operate from our new facility located at 13552 Texas Hwy, Many, LA. This facility was designed with the customer in mind and is perfect for entertaining you, your family or your large corporate group, for one day or multiple days. We can provide a bloody mary breakfast bar, do bag lunches, or cook the fish you catch with our "Catch & Cook" permit.

All bait and tackle is provided, as well as ice and fuel at no extra cost to you. We will also clean your crappie for you, we DO NOT KEEP BASS, WE FISH STRICTLY CATCH & RELEASE.

Our crappie trips are done from pontoon boats equipped with the newest technology. We can take up to 6 people on each boat. Bass trips are done from very well-equipped bass boats, therefore we limit trips to 2 people. Lodging can be arranged if needed.

I grew up in the guide business and have been guiding since I was in college. I fish several bass circuits professionally and stay up-to-date on all new technology and equipment. I concentrate on bass fishing in the spring. I have set aside 3 weeks for guiding on a Trophy Bass lake in Texas, O.H. Ivie. If you are interested in targeting a double digit fish or the fish of a lifetime, you need to book this trip.
