Captain Marty's got you covered for some of the best striper action Lake Texoma has to offer. This private fishing charter is designed for four anglers who want to get serious about catching striped bass without the crowd. Whether you're bringing the family for their first taste of striper fishing or you've got a group of buddies ready to battle some real fighters, this trip delivers the goods. You'll be working with a guide who knows these waters like the back of his hand and isn't afraid to move around until we find where the fish are holding. All your gear is handled – rods, reels, tackle, and bait – so you can focus on what matters most: putting fish in the boat and having a blast doing it.
Lake Texoma sits right on the Texas-Oklahoma border and serves up some of the most consistent striper fishing in the region. This 89,000-acre reservoir is a striped bass factory, and Captain Marty knows exactly how to tap into it. Your four-person group gets the boat to yourselves, which means no strangers crowding your space and plenty of room to work. The guide handles all the navigation and positioning, constantly reading the electronics and adjusting based on what the fish are telling him. You'll spend your day learning proven techniques while staying comfortable on a boat that's built for serious fishing. The water here can change personality throughout the day, and that's where having an experienced local guide makes all the difference. He'll keep you on fish whether they're shallow or deep, feeding aggressively or playing hard to get. This isn't a rushed trip – there's time to really dial in your technique and understand what makes these stripers tick.
Captain Marty runs a mixed-bag approach that keeps things interesting and productive. Live bait is often the ace in the hole here – fresh shad or other local baitfish that stripers can't resist. You'll learn how to properly rig and present live bait for maximum effectiveness, including techniques for different depths and structures. When the fish are more aggressive, artificial presentations come into play. This might mean working swimbaits around submerged timber, throwing topwater plugs during early morning feeds, or pulling umbrella rigs through schools of fish. The beauty of Lake Texoma is that stripers here respond well to multiple approaches, so you'll get hands-on experience with various methods. Your guide provides all the tackle, from heavy-duty rods that can handle big stripers to the specific lures and rigs that work best in these waters. Electronics play a huge role – the boat's equipped with quality fish finders and GPS that help locate schools and structure. You'll see firsthand how technology and local knowledge combine to put you on fish consistently.
Striped bass are the main attraction here, and Lake Texoma grows them big and mean. These fish can range anywhere from schoolie-sized 2-3 pounders up to genuine trophy stripers pushing 20 pounds or more. Spring and fall tend to be prime time when stripers are most active and feeding heavily, but summer and winter patterns can be equally productive with the right approach. What makes stripers so exciting is their fight – they'll make blistering runs, dive deep, and test your drag system. They're also schooling fish, so when you find one, there are usually more around. The key is understanding their seasonal movements and daily patterns, which your guide has dialed in through years of experience on this lake.
White bass add another dimension to your fishing day and often travel with the stripers. These smaller cousins are scrappy fighters that hit lures aggressively and put up a surprisingly good fight for their size. They typically run 1-3 pounds but make up for size with attitude and numbers. White bass are excellent table fare and often serve as great backup action when stripers get finicky. They respond well to smaller artificials and live bait, and catching them helps you stay sharp while searching for bigger stripers. During certain times of year, especially spring, white bass will school up in massive numbers and provide fast-paced action that keeps everyone in the boat busy.
This top-rated Lake Texoma experience fills up fast, especially during peak fishing seasons when word gets out about hot bite patterns. Captain Marty's reputation for putting clients on fish speaks for itself, and repeat customers know to book early. The four-person setup is perfect for families wanting to fish together or small groups of friends looking to split costs while maximizing their time on productive water. Remember that deposits are non-refundable, so make sure your dates work before committing. The all-inclusive tackle and bait package means you can fly in or drive from anywhere without worrying about gear – just bring yourself and get ready for some world-class striper fishing. Lake Texoma's stripers are waiting, and Captain Marty knows exactly where to find them.
Your striper fishing adventure launches aboard a rock-solid 26' Xpress Alumaweld powered by a reliable Yamaha 250. This aluminum hull cuts through Lake Texoma's chop at speeds up to 45 mph, getting you to the fish fast and keeping you comfortable all day. The spacious deck gives all four anglers plenty of room to work without tangling lines or bumping elbows. A wireless trolling motor lets your guide position the boat silently over feeding schools, while the GPS and fish finder combo pinpoints exactly where the stripers are holding. Built tough for these big waters, this boat handles Lake Texoma's conditions with confidence, whether you're drifting live bait over submerged points or working artificials along the thermocline. The stable platform keeps everyone fishing effectively while your guide manages boat positioning and reads the water.
Morone SaxatilisStriped bass are the main attraction on Texoma, with fish running 15-25 pounds common and some monsters over 40. These powerful fish cruise deep channels, points, and creek mouths year-round. Spring and fall offer the best action when they move up to feed on abundant shad. Summer finds them deeper in cooler water. What guests love is the fight - stripers make long runs and test your drag. They're also prime eating with firm, sweet meat. We target them with live shad, umbrella rigs, and big swimbaits around structure. The key here is finding the thermocline in summer - stripers stack up just above it where the water's cooler but bait is still active. Electronics are crucial for marking fish and staying on productive water.
Morone ChrysopsWhite bass run in schools and average 12-15 inches, though we catch some pushing 18 inches here on Texoma. These silver fighters with their distinctive dark stripes love open water and points near the main lake. Spring and fall are prime time when they move shallow to feed, especially early morning and evening. They'll hit live shad, small jigs, and spoons worked fast through the school. What makes them fun is the numbers - once you find them, you can catch dozens. They're scrappy fighters and make excellent table fare with sweet, flaky meat. My local trick: watch for diving birds and surface activity. When white bass are schooling and feeding, they'll push baitfish to the surface. Get there quick and work small white or chartreuse jigs through the commotion.
