Captain Marty's Guide Service brings you right to the heart of Lake Texoma's legendary striper action with this personalized fishing experience.

With a minimum of four guests required on weekends, it's perfect when your fishing crew wants to hit the water together and learn from a seasoned guide who knows every cove and channel on this massive lake.
Lake Texoma spans over 89,000 acres along the Texas-Oklahoma border, and Captain Marty knows exactly where the fish are holding based on seasonal patterns and current conditions. You'll be targeting both striped bass and white bass using a mix of live bait presentations and artificial lures – whatever the fish are demanding that day. The beauty of this setup is that all your tackle, rods, and bait come provided, so you can focus entirely on learning the techniques that consistently produce fish in these waters. Whether we're working the dam area early morning or hitting the flats during midday feeding times, you'll get hands-on instruction that'll make you a better angler long after the trip ends. The $250 deposit (with a 4% processing fee) locks in your spot, and remember that deposits are non-refundable, so plan accordingly.
Lake Texoma stripers respond to different approaches throughout the year, and Captain Marty adapts tactics based on what's working. Live bait fishing here often means presenting shad or herring near structure where stripers ambush schools of baitfish. You might find yourself working steep ledges with downlines, or casting to surface-feeding fish when they're busting bait in open water. Artificial presentations range from heavy spoons and swimbaits for deeper fish to topwater plugs during those magical dawn and dusk feeding frenzies. The key is reading the electronics, understanding how stripers relate to structure and baitfish, and adjusting your retrieve speed and depth accordingly. Captain Marty will teach you to recognize the subtle differences between striper marks and white bass schools on the sonar, plus how to position your boat for the most effective presentations.
Striped bass in Lake Texoma are the main attraction, and for good reason. These fish average 3-8 pounds but can push well into the teens, especially during peak feeding periods in spring and fall. Stripers here are incredibly aggressive when they're feeding, often chasing baitfish right to the surface where you can sight-fish to them with topwater lures. They're most active during low-light conditions, making early morning and evening trips particularly productive. What makes Texoma stripers special is their fight – they're strong, fast fish that make long runs and jump when hooked on lighter tackle. The population is healthy and self-sustaining, which means consistent action throughout most of the year.
White bass add constant action to your Texoma fishing trip, especially during their famous spring runs up tributary creeks. These scrappy fighters typically run 1-2 pounds but make up for size with sheer numbers and attitude. When you locate a school of whites, it's not uncommon to boat fish on every cast until they move on. They're excellent eating fish and perfect for anglers who enjoy non-stop action. White bass often mix with small stripers in the same areas, so you never know what's going to hit your lure next. Their seasonal patterns are predictable once you understand them – they school heavily in winter, run shallow to spawn in spring, then scatter throughout the lake's main body during summer months.

Morone SaxatilisStriped bass are the main attraction here - these landlocked stripers typically run 5-15 pounds, with some bruisers pushing 20-plus. They're structure-oriented fish that relate to points, humps, and creek channels, usually staying in 15-40 feet of water depending on season and baitfish location. Spring and fall are prime time when they're most active, but we catch them year-round by adjusting depth and presentation. These fish are pure power - they'll test your drag and make long runs that get your heart pumping. Plus, they're excellent eating with firm, white meat. The key here is finding the shad schools on electronics, then working live bait or umbrella rigs just above them. Patience pays off with these fish.
Morone ChrysopsWhite bass run in schools here on Texoma, typically weighing 1-3 pounds with some reaching up to 7. You'll find them cruising open water and around submerged structure, especially during spring spawning runs when they move shallow. These scrappy fighters are aggressive and will hit everything from live shad to small jigs and spoons. They're visual feeders, so look for surface action - when you find one, there's usually a whole school underneath. What makes them popular is they fight hard for their size and taste great on the table with that sweet, flaky meat. My tip: when you locate a school, work fast with small white or chartreuse jigs because they move constantly and the bite can shut off quickly.
