Captain Marty's got you covered for a world-class striped bass adventure on Lake Texoma. This isn't your typical crowded charter – we're talking about a private fishing experience designed for one or two anglers who want to get serious about catching Oklahoma's premier game fish. Whether you're a weekend warrior looking to upgrade your skills or a seasoned angler wanting to explore new waters, this top-rated trip puts you right where the action is. We'll be targeting both striped bass and white bass using techniques that have been dialed in over years of fishing these waters. The best part? Everything's provided, so you can focus on what matters – getting fish in the boat.
Your day starts early because that's when the fish are most active. Captain Marty meets you at the dock with a boat that's been set up specifically for striper fishing – no cutting corners here. The setup includes quality rods, reels that can handle the fight these fish put up, and a tackle box stocked with everything from live bait to the artificial lures that Texoma stripers can't resist. This is perfect for couples wanting a unique date, friends planning a fishing getaway, or parents introducing kids to serious angling. The boat's designed for comfort during those long fights with big fish, plus there's plenty of room to move around when you're working a school of active stripers. You'll spend the day learning proven local techniques while actually using them – no sitting around listening to lectures.
Lake Texoma fishing changes with the seasons, and Captain Marty adjusts tactics accordingly. During spring and fall, live bait fishing dominates – we're talking about presenting shad and other baitfish in ways that trigger aggressive strikes from hungry stripers. Summer often calls for different approaches, maybe working artificial lures around structure or following the thermocline where fish congregate in cooler water. The tackle provided includes medium-heavy to heavy action rods paired with reels that have smooth drags – essential when a 20-pound striper decides to make a run. You'll learn how to read the electronics, understand what the fish are doing at different depths, and adapt your presentation based on what's working that day. Live bait rigs, umbrella rigs, and topwater plugs all have their place, and you'll get hands-on experience with whatever's producing fish.
Striped bass are the main attraction here, and for good reason. These fish are genuine bruisers that can reach 30 pounds or more in Texoma's fertile waters. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action when stripers move into shallower areas to feed aggressively before and after the spawn. Summer fishing can be fantastic too, especially early morning and evening when fish push baitfish to the surface. What makes striped bass so special is their fight – they're powerful, fast, and won't give up easily. When you hook into a good one, expect screaming runs and several attempts to throw the hook. The lake's population is healthy and self-sustaining, which means you're fishing for wild fish that have learned to be cautious.
White bass might be smaller than their striped cousins, but they make up for size with sheer numbers and aggressive feeding behavior. These fish school up tight, especially during their spring spawning run, creating some of the most fast-paced fishing you'll find anywhere. When you locate a school of feeding white bass, it's common to catch fish on nearly every cast until the school moves on. They hit hard for their size and provide excellent action on lighter tackle. Peak season runs from March through May, but summer and fall can produce excellent fishing too. White bass are also some of the best eating fish in the lake – firm, white meat with a mild flavor that's perfect for a fish fry.
This customer favorite trip books up quickly, especially during prime fishing seasons. Captain Marty's reputation for putting clients on fish means repeat customers and referrals keep the calendar full. The private nature of this charter – just you and up to one other person – creates a personalized experience you won't get on larger boats. All the tackle, bait, and expertise are included, so you're getting tremendous value for a day of renowned Lake Texoma fishing. Remember that deposits are non-refundable, so make sure your dates work before booking. Whether you're after your personal best striper or want to introduce someone to the sport, this trip delivers the kind of fishing memories that last a lifetime.
Your Lake Texoma striped bass adventure takes place aboard a 26-foot Xpress Alumaweld that's built to handle these big waters. Powered by a reliable Yamaha 250, this fishing machine hits 45 mph to get you to the hot spots fast, then settles into a stable platform perfect for battling Lake Texoma's famous stripers. The wireless trolling motor keeps things quiet when you're stalking fish in shallow water, while the GPS and fish finder help locate schools holding in deeper structure. With room for up to two anglers, you'll have plenty of space to work live bait or cast artificials without getting tangled up. The aluminum construction cuts through chop smoothly, so you can focus on your line instead of fighting the ride.
Morone SaxatilisStripers are the main attraction here on Texoma, commonly running 15-25 pounds with some pushing 30-40 pounds or more. These silver fish with dark horizontal stripes are powerful swimmers that patrol open water, creek channels, and around structure like points and humps. They move between 20-45 feet deep depending on season and baitfish activity. Spring through fall offers the best action, especially early morning and evening when they're actively feeding. What makes them special is the combination of size, fight, and table fare - they pull hard and taste great. Live shad is king here, but they'll also hit large spoons and swimbaits. Pro tip: watch your electronics for baitfish schools in 25-35 feet of water - stripers are usually close by, and presenting live bait just above the thermocline often triggers strikes.
Morone ChrysopsWhite bass are scrappy fighters that typically run 10-12 inches and 1-2 pounds, though some push closer to 18 inches. Also called sand bass, they're silver-white with dark horizontal stripes along their sides. These schooling fish love open water and hang around points, humps, and creek channels in 15-25 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime time when they're actively feeding and easier to locate in big groups. Once you find a school, the action can be fast and furious. They hit small jigs, spoons, and live minnows hard, putting up a solid fight for their size. The meat is white, flaky, and makes for good eating. Here's a local tip: when you see birds working over a school, get there quick but approach quietly - spook them once and they'll sound deep.
