Captain Marty's Guide Service brings you right into the heart of Lake Texoma's legendary striper action with this top-rated three-person fishing charter. This isn't your typical crowded boat experience – we're talking about a private trip where you and two buddies get the full attention of a seasoned guide who knows every productive spot on this massive reservoir. Whether you're after the hard-fighting stripers or the scrappy white bass that school up in incredible numbers, this trip puts you on fish using time-tested local methods that consistently produce results. You'll be fishing from a spacious boat that gives everyone room to work, and with all tackle, rods, and bait provided, you can focus entirely on what matters most – putting fish in the boat.
Lake Texoma stretches across 89,000 acres of prime fishing water where the Red and Washita Rivers meet, creating the perfect environment for both striped bass and white bass populations to flourish. Your guide will position the boat based on current conditions, water temperature, and recent fish activity – this might mean working the main lake points early in the morning, drifting the river channels during midday, or targeting shallow flats when the bite turns on in the evening. The beauty of a three-person charter is that everyone gets personalized instruction without feeling rushed or overlooked. You'll learn to read your electronics, understand seasonal patterns, and pick up techniques that'll make you a better angler long after this trip ends. The boat offers plenty of deck space so nobody's fighting for elbow room, and with your guide handling navigation and positioning, you can stay focused on your lines and enjoy the camaraderie that makes these shared fishing experiences so memorable. Keep in mind that deposits are non-refundable, so plan accordingly when booking your preferred dates.
The approach changes throughout the year, but your guide will dial in the most productive methods for the conditions you're facing. Live bait presentations often dominate when fish are holding tight to structure – we're talking about fresh shad fished on downlines or three-way rigs that get your offering right in the strike zone. When stripers are actively feeding, artificial presentations like large spoons, swimbaits, or topwater plugs can produce explosive surface strikes that'll get your heart pumping. White bass fishing typically involves different tactics – these aggressive feeders often respond well to small jigs, slabs, or inline spinners worked through active schools. Your guide will handle the boat positioning to keep you in the productive water, whether that means staying on top of a moving school or anchoring on a proven structure that consistently holds fish. The electronics play a huge role in success here – your captain uses quality sonar and GPS to locate fish and navigate back to hot spots that produced earlier in the trip. All the tackle is provided, from heavy baitcasting setups for big stripers to lighter spinning gear perfect for white bass action.
Striped bass are the main attraction on Lake Texoma, and for good reason – these powerful fish average 3 to 8 pounds with plenty of larger specimens pushing 15 pounds or more. Stripers are most active during cooler parts of the day, particularly early morning and evening hours when they move shallow to feed on shad schools. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action as fish position themselves in predictable patterns, though summer fishing can be outstanding when you target deeper structures and follow the thermocline. What makes stripers so exciting is their fighting ability – they make long, powerful runs and aren't shy about jumping when hooked. These fish also tend to school up, so when you find one, there are usually more in the area.
White bass provide non-stop action when they're feeding, and Lake Texoma holds tremendous populations of these aggressive fighters. These fish typically run 1 to 3 pounds but make up for their smaller size with sheer numbers and willingness to bite. White bass are notorious for their schooling behavior, especially during spring spawning runs when they stack up in river channels and creek mouths. Summer finds them suspended over main lake structure, while fall brings some of the best topwater action of the year as they chase shad schools to the surface. What anglers love about white bass is their reliability – when you locate an active school, you can often catch fish on every cast until the school moves or spooks. They're also excellent eating, making them a favorite target for families who want to take home a fresh fish dinner.

Morone SaxatilisStriped bass are the kings of Texoma, regularly hitting 15-25 pounds with some true giants over 30. These powerful fish with their distinctive black stripes are structure-oriented, hanging around creek channels, points, and drop-offs. They're most active during cooler months - late fall through early spring - when they chase shad in shallower water. Summer fishing means going deeper, usually 25-40 feet. What makes stripers special is their incredible fight and excellent table fare. They'll make long runs and test your drag. The meat is firm, white, and mild-flavored. Local tip: watch your electronics for bait balls suspended over deep water. When you mark shad, there's usually stripers nearby. Drop a live shad or big jig right through the bait school.
Morone ChrysopsWhite bass run in schools and average 12-15 inches, though we see plenty pushing 2-3 pounds here on Texoma. They're scrappy fighters that'll give you a good battle on light tackle. These silver-sided fish with their dark horizontal stripes love open water and points where they chase shad near the surface. Spring and fall are prime times when they school up and feed aggressively. Summer finds them deeper during the day, but they'll move shallow at dawn and dusk. White bass are excellent eating - firm, flaky meat that's perfect in the pan. Here's a local trick: when you find one white bass, work that area hard because they travel in packs. Once you locate the school, you can often catch several before they move on.
