What to Expect on the Water

Our trips kick off at 1 PM, giving you plenty of time to sleep in or grab lunch before hitting the lake. We'll spend 4-6 hours on the water, or until we hit our limit - whichever comes first. The boat can accommodate up to 7 people, so bring your buddies or the whole family along.

Fishing Techniques & Gear

When it comes to striper fishing on Lake Texoma, we've got a few tricks up our sleeves. We'll likely be using a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what the fish are biting that day. Expect to do some trolling, as well as casting around structure and points where stripers like to hang out. We use top-notch gear that's well-maintained and suited for the size of fish we're after. Don't be surprised if you find yourself in a tug-of-war with a big striper - these fish are known for their powerful runs and can really put your arms to the test!

Target Species Breakdown

Striped Bass (Stripers) are the stars of the show on Lake Texoma. These powerful fish are actually a cross between white bass and ocean stripers, giving them a unique combination of freshwater adaptability and saltwater fighting spirit. Texoma's stripers can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 20 pounds not uncommon. They're known for their aggressive strikes and strong runs, making them a blast to catch on rod and reel. Spring and fall are prime times for striper fishing, but we catch them year-round on Texoma. What makes stripers so exciting is their schooling behavior - when you find them, you can often catch multiple fish in quick succession, leading to non-stop action that'll have your arms aching (in the best way possible).

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about striper fishing on Lake Texoma that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the thrill of that first big hit, or the satisfaction of bringing a chunky striper to the boat. Or perhaps it's the beautiful scenery and tranquil afternoon on the water (well, tranquil until a striper decides to make your reel sing!). Whatever it is, our afternoon trips offer the perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. And let's not forget - at the end of the day, you get to take home some of the best-tasting freshwater fish around. Nothing beats a fresh striper fillet on the grill!

Insider Tips for Success

While we'll do everything we can to put you on the fish, there are a few things you can do to up your chances of landing a big one. First off, pay attention to the instructions on how to work your bait or lure - sometimes a subtle change in retrieval speed can make all the difference. Keep an eye on your line, as stripers often hit hard and fast. When you feel that telltale thump, set the hook with authority! And don't be afraid to ask questions - we love sharing our knowledge about these amazing fish and the lake they call home. Oh, and make sure to bring a camera - you'll want proof when you're telling stories about the monster striper you caught on Lake Texoma!

What to Bring Along

We've got most of the essentials covered, but there are a few things you'll want to bring to make your trip even better. Sunscreen is a must - that Texas sun can be brutal out on the water. A hat and polarized sunglasses will help cut the glare and make it easier to spot fish. Don't forget to dress for the weather - layers are always a good idea as it can be cooler on the water. And while we provide drinks, feel free to bring your favorite snacks. Last but not least, make sure you've got that $12 Lake Texoma fishing license - it's required for all anglers over 16, and we can't hit the water without it.

Lake Texoma: A Striper Paradise

Lake Texoma isn't just any old fishing hole - it's widely regarded as one of the best striper fisheries in the entire country. Straddling the Texas-Oklahoma border, this massive reservoir covers over 89,000 acres and is home to a self-sustaining population of striped bass. The lake's unique ecosystem, with plenty of shad for the stripers to feed on, allows these fish to grow to impressive sizes. It's not uncommon to catch stripers in the 10-20 pound range, with some true giants lurking in the depths. The lake's diverse structure, from underwater humps to creek channels, provides plenty of habitat for stripers and makes for exciting fishing opportunities year-round.
