Captain Marty's top-rated Lake Texoma striper fishing trip puts you and four friends right where the action happens. This private charter is designed for groups who want to fish together without dealing with crowded party boats or rushed schedules. We'll spend the day targeting striped bass and white bass using techniques that work consistently on this massive lake. You won't need to bring anything except yourselves – all rods, tackle, and bait come with the trip so you can focus on what matters most: landing fish and having a blast on the water.
Lake Texoma covers over 89,000 acres where Texas meets Oklahoma, giving us plenty of room to find active fish. The boat comfortably fits five anglers with space to move around and fish without stepping on each other's lines. Captain Marty knows exactly where stripers school up throughout the year and adjusts tactics based on what's happening that day. Some trips we'll anchor up and fish live shad in deeper channels, while other days call for working artificials around structure or following baitfish schools. The beauty of this lake is that there's always a backup plan when fish move or conditions change. Water temperatures, wind direction, and seasonal patterns all play into where we'll start, but flexibility keeps the action going all day long.
Live bait fishing dominates here when stripers are holding deep or being finicky. Fresh-caught shad or large shiners fished on the bottom near creek channels and humps produce consistent results. We'll set you up with circle hooks and enough weight to stay down in the current while keeping that bait looking natural. When fish are actively feeding, switching to artificial presentations like large spoons, swimbaits, or umbrella rigs can really turn on the bite. Captain Marty provides quality tackle that can handle the powerful runs these fish are known for. Downriggers help get baits to the right depth when stripers are suspended, and fish finders keep us on top of schools as they move around the lake. The key is reading the water and matching your presentation to what the fish want that particular day.
Striped bass are the main attraction on Lake Texoma, and for good reason. These powerful fish average 5-15 pounds but can push well over 20 pounds when you connect with a big one. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action as stripers move shallow to feed aggressively before and after the hot summer months. They fight harder than most freshwater fish, making long runs and testing your drag system. What makes Texoma stripers special is their body condition – this lake produces fat, healthy fish that pull harder and longer than skinny reservoir stripers. The population stays strong thanks to regular stocking and good natural reproduction in the Red River system.
White bass might be smaller than their striped cousins, but they make up for size with attitude and numbers. These scrappy fighters typically run 1-3 pounds and often school up in large groups that provide fast action when you find them. White bass hit artificials aggressively and aren't as picky about presentation as stripers can be. They're perfect for keeping kids and new anglers engaged since the action stays hot once you locate a school. Peak white bass fishing happens during their spring spawning run when they move up creeks and rivers in massive numbers. Even during summer months, they provide steady action when stripers get tough to pattern.

Morone SaxatilisStripers are the main attraction on Texoma, running anywhere from 3-8 pounds on average with some real giants pushing 20+ pounds. They cruise deep channels and congregate around points, humps, and creek mouths, following the thermocline and baitfish. Fall and spring offer the hottest action when water temps hit that 55-68 degree sweet spot. These fish fight hard with powerful runs and headshakes that'll test your drag. Plus, they're fantastic eating - firm white meat that's hard to beat. The key out here is watching your electronics for suspended fish and matching your presentation to the depth they're holding. When they're feeding, it's game on.
Morone ChrysopsWhite bass, or sand bass as locals call them, run 10-12 inches typically though we see some push 18 inches here on Texoma. They school up in open water and around submerged structure, making them perfect for groups since everyone can get in on the action when we find them. Spring through fall are your best bets, especially when they're chasing shad near the surface - you'll see the water boiling with feeding fish. These silver fighters punch above their weight class and make excellent table fare with sweet, flaky meat. Here's the trick: when you hook into a school, keep your bait in the same spot because where there's one white bass, there's usually fifty more waiting.
