Timothy Smith, Captain at Cap'n Tim Guide Service

Cap'n Tim Guide Service is a private Lake Texoma striper fishing guide based in Pottsboro, TX, offering highly engaging striped bass fishing experiences for up to four guests. Captain Tim specializes in lure fishing only, creating a hands-on and sporting trip that keeps anglers involved from the first cast to the final fish in the cooler. Whether you are a first-time angler or a long-time Texoma visitor, Captain Tim makes it easy to enjoy a productive day on the lake.


Lake Texoma is famous for being one of the only inland lakes in the country where striped bass naturally reproduce. With 89,000 acres of water and generous catch limits, the lake offers consistent action throughout the year. The combination of healthy fish populations, scenic open water, and year-round schooling activity makes Texoma a top destination for catching stripers.


Guests will spend the trip aboard one of Captain Tim’s two well-maintained 23-foot Falcon boats. Both are restored 2001 hulls designed for comfort and performance. One features a quiet and fuel-efficient 250 HP Suzuki four-stroke outboard with a center console layout. The other carries a powerful inboard GM MerCruiser 350 MAG V8 with a dual console design. Each vessel accommodates up to four anglers and provides smooth cruising, clean deck space, and stable fishing platforms.


Trips typically run four to five hours depending on season. Early morning departures dominate spring and summer, while cooler months favor relaxed mid-morning start times. Captain Tim is flexible with scheduling and will help guests choose an ideal time after booking.


All rods, reels, tackle, and lures are provided, and fish cleaning is included. Guests should bring drinks, snacks, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing. A Texas/Oklahoma Lake Texoma fishing license is required and can be purchased online for $12.


For those with their own boats, Cap'n Tim Guide Service also offers specialized educational trips focused on improving angling skills, understanding striper behavior, and learning seasonal patterns on Texoma. These sessions are extremely valuable for boat owners who want to fish the lake more effectively on their own.


Cap'n Tim Guide Service also runs scenic lake tours that explore Texoma's white-sand islands, marinas, and wildlife areas. Scenic trips are popular with families and visitors looking to enjoy the lake on a relaxing outing.

We had an excellent day on the water with Captain Tim. He was everything you want in a guide—friendly, genuine, patient, funny, and highly knowledgeable. From helping us find last-minute fishing licenses on a Sunday to sharing info about local wildlife, island names, restaurants, and productive fishing spots, he had us covered. We ended up bringing home six fish. We had two 10-year-old kids with us, including one who had never been on a boat or fished before. After a few tries she was casting confidently and caught three fish (two completely on her own). Tim was calm, encouraging, and patient throughout, and both girls felt comfortable and supported the entire time. He even offered to take the kids to a quiet beach for a quick swim, which they absolutely loved. It was the perfect way to wrap up our half-day (4-hour) trip. By the end of the outing we felt like we were with an old friend. We’d highly recommend Tim and have already been referring him to others.

With the water conditions, I was worried we wouldn’t have a great day. But Captain Tim came through. He not only found where the fish were, he had a solid plan for getting them to bite. We ended up with 20+ catches while other guides in the area were reporting only 3–10. Captain Tim will definitely be my go-to for future trips on Lake Texoma.

We had a great experience with Cap’n Tim. He was kind, informative, and put us on a ton of fish while keeping the whole trip enjoyable. His gear was top-notch and the boat was comfortable. All four of us ended up limiting out. A fantastic day with one of the best guides you can book!
