QuestionsLook through photos from some of Stanley's recent fishing trips and see what kind of fish Lake Nacogdoches has to offer.
Photo GalleryBeautiful Lake Nacogdoches was impounded in 1976 and has a surface area of 2,212 acres at normal pool. The maximum depth of the lake is 40 feet. It is located on Loco Bayou, 10 miles west of Nacogdoches off FM 225.
The most popular game fish at Lake Nacogdoches is the largemouth bass. Numbers of bass are relatively high and an excellent fishery exists. Lake Nacogdoches is known for producing trophy-sized bass and has produced three ShareLunker entries exceeding 13 pounds.
Fall, winter, and spring months are when anglers are most successful at catching largemouth bass. Due to cooler water temperatures, fish are active for longer periods of the day and are typically found in shallow water.

We had fun. I know them boys did for sure. They didn't stop talking about it until I dropped them off. Y'all have an amazing place there. I'll be calling you again I'm sure. FYI we ate some of the fish tonight and it was good. Eli was a proud contributor to the dinner.
Thanks for the great fishing trip! Great memories with my Grandkids!
We had a great time. Weather was not the best but Julian caught his first fish. I caught a 6lb catfish on light tackle and we had the time of our lives with a fantastic lunch with fantastic people. Thanks Kay and Stan. Can't wait to do it again soon.
I wanted to thank you for a great day. Troy and I enjoyed it and learned a lot. I also want to thank your wife for a great meal.
We had lots of fun. Thank you for a 5 star fishing experience. And a 5 star lunch. We will definitely be back!!!
Had a great time fishing with Mr. Gresham. I would recommend if your in his area to book a trip he is on top of his game on lake Nacogdoches. And his wife had a outstanding lunch for us! Take a kid take a friend!
Stanley showed us all a great time fishing. There was great conversation and lunch was fantastic. Call him and set up a great fishing trip. He will put you on fish.
Thanks again Stanley for a great day on the lake. really appreciated everything! Please tell Mrs. Kay lunch was super great as always! Look forward to the next trip!
It was for sure the best! We recommend Mr. Stanley Gresham for all of your guided fishing trips as well as family tubing fun on Lake Nacogdoches. We had a blast! His wife Kay Gresham was a very gracious hostess. She provided an awesome lunch for us hungry fishermen! Definitely a FIVE STAR review.
Such a great way to spend the day! Stanley and Kay are so nice and treat ya like family.
So much fun! What a beautiful afternoon catching some crappie! Oh and a bass too! Always a good time and a good catch with Stanley Gresham and his wife Kay!
Great operation, great food and even greater people. 10/10 recommend spending a day with the Gresham Guiding Service!
Thanks again Stanley for a great time today. Tell Ms Kay thanks again for a super lunch. Y’all are great hosts.
So, I journeyed out to Nacogdoches, Texas for a long overdue visit with an old friend. He set up a fishing trip on Lake Nacogdoches with the best Fishing Guide I've ever had the pleasure of fishing with: Stanley Gresham. IMHO a guides job is to put you 'on' the fish - and he did that in spades.
We decided to go after the wily crappie and we had a blast!
We caught fish all day. Speaking for myself: I probably missed about a dozen fish (my fault) and caught about 10 that were undersize - but the keepers were great fish and we brought home 19. Through it all Mr. Gresham was helpful and kept moving us from pile to pile and putting us 'on' the fish. His boat and the supplied fishing gear was first rate - but it was his knowledge of the Lake and just the fact he was a pleasure to fish with - that made the trip such a good time.
I am certain that there will be future visits to 'Nac' and they will include another fishing trip with Stanley Gresham. I recommend you do the same - you won't be disappointed.
Can't say enough about this husband and wife "Team". They are true professionals and provide an all-inclusive customer service experience!
Thank y'all so much! Can't wait til the next trip. Aiming for end of October! Can't wait to fry up a mess of those fish we caught. Y'all out there want a great time, these people treat you very good! Mrs. Kay feeds you very yummy food for lunch. I'm still full lol!'
Mr. Gresham worked his tail off for us today! The bite was slow but we found a few and had a great time! Mrs. Kay fed us good afterwards! Great folks running a jam up operation! 100% recommended!
Today I got to do something I've done ver few times, I took my dad fishing. We had a blast. A huge thank you goes out to Stanley Gresham and his sweet wife Kay Gresham. They go above and beyond to make sure you have the best time. Mrs. Kay is the best cook! Made great memories today! Now I'm ready for some fish tacos!
We took a group of customers for a ½ day crappie outing this morning with Stanley Gresham, and had an amazing lunch afterwards provided by Kay. I can’t express what an amazing experience these guys provided for us. The fishing was outstanding, but the way they welcomed us into their home with 5-star customer service, was like nothing I have ever seen on a guided fishing trip. Do not hesitate to book a fishing adventure with this family!
If you haven't spent a day on the water with Mr. Stanley, followed by lunch at Mrs. Kay's table, then you are missing a huge blessing in your life! Book a day with the Greshams SOON! You will get a break from this crazy, chaotic worl and get a chance to remember what really matters....Jesus, family, and fresh air!
Stanley knows how to fish and Kay knows how to cook. Give them a call.
We had a great time and really enjoyed the lunch. Thanks Stanley and Kay. Y'all are the best!
We had a great time! If you are looking for a family friendly outing, this is it. Everything is taken care of. Great fishing and fellowship, fantastic food, and memories that last forever. Thanks again Stanley!
We just wanted to thank y'all for such a great fishing trip the other day. Although the weather was cold, the hot meal was just what we needed. Catching a lot of fish didn't hurt either. Stanley, you were so full of information about fishing and the equipment. We learned so much! Thanks again.
The guys had a great fishing trip! If you are wanting to catch fish and have a great time doing so, book with Stanley Gresham!
Spectacular as are all your fishing trips! As I've said before, you don't need a guide to fish, BUT, if you want to catch fish, go with Stanley who knows where the fish are!! As a bonus, you have a great new friend!!
