About Empty Pockets Fishing Guide Service
Empty Pockets – Striper Fishing at its Finest
The captain of your Empty Pockets fishing adventure is known by “Capt. Jack”.
Jackie’s love and knowledge of the outdoors started early in life. He was born into an outdoor family. One person in particular influenced him most: his Uncle “Buster”.
Jackie had many opportunities to fish with his great uncle on the creeks, streams, rivers and lakes of Central Texas. With each of their outings together, Jackie learned more and more. He honed his knowledge of what bait to use at a particular time of year or the location to be fished – to the habits of specific fish species.
For the past 20 plus years as a full time professional fishing guide, fishing primarily on Lake Buchanan, Jackie uses these years of knowledge to make his customers’ adventure with him be the best it can be. From the youngest to the oldest fisherperson on board – patient, relaxed and comfortable. (and you might just hear a hunting story or two while out with Jackie).
