Looking to hook into some serious stripers on one of Oklahoma's most productive fisheries? This 5-hour guided charter with Circle B Fishing Guide puts you right where the action is on Lake Texoma. Whether you're new to chasing striped bass or you've been working these waters for years, Captain Brad and his crew know exactly where the fish are holding and what they're biting. We're talking early morning starts to hit those prime feeding windows when the stripers are actively hunting. This isn't just another boat ride – it's your ticket to filling the cooler with quality fillets while learning from guides who've made Lake Texoma their home water.
Your day starts before sunrise because that's when Lake Texoma's striped bass are most active. We'll have you rigged up and running to the hot spots while most folks are still hitting the snooze button. The boat comes fully equipped with quality rods, reels, and all the tackle you'll need – no need to stress about bringing gear or wondering if you've got the right setup. Captain Brad's been working these waters long enough to know which presentations work best for current conditions, whether we're pulling live bait through the thermoclines or working topwater when the fish are busting on the surface. The 5-hour window gives us plenty of time to cover water and adjust tactics if the bite slows down. Plus, they'll clean your catch at the end of the trip, so you're walking away with bags of fresh fillets ready for the dinner table. With a maximum of 2 anglers, you're getting personalized attention and plenty of elbow room to work your rod without feeling crowded.
Lake Texoma's striped bass fishing is all about understanding the structure and thermoclines that concentrate baitfish. Captain Brad uses a combination of live bait fishing and artificial lures depending on what the fish are telling us. Early morning often means working topwater plugs when the stripers are pushing shad to the surface, creating those heart-stopping explosions that make striper fishing so addictive. As the sun climbs higher, we'll switch to deeper presentations, either slow-trolling live bait through the channels or working jigs along the underwater humps and creek bends where stripers stage. The key is staying mobile and reading the electronics to find those schools of baitfish that attract the predators. Lake Texoma's clear water and abundant forage base create perfect conditions for sight fishing when the opportunity presents itself. You'll learn to read the water, understand how weather affects fish behavior, and pick up techniques that'll make you a better angler long after this trip ends.

Striped bass are the main draw here, and for good reason. These silver rockets can run anywhere from 3 to 20 pounds in Lake Texoma, with the occasional trophy pushing even bigger numbers. Stripers are most active during low-light periods, which is why we start early and focus on dawn and dusk feeding patterns. They're aggressive predators that school up to chase baitfish, creating some of the most exciting fishing you'll find in freshwater. What makes them special is their fight – once hooked, a striper will make blistering runs and jump clear of the water, testing your drag and your nerves. The meat is firm, white, and excellent on the table, which is why so many anglers specifically target these fish.
Largemouth bass add another dimension to your fishing day, especially around the creek arms and shallow structure. Lake Texoma's largemouths are healthy and well-fed, averaging 2 to 5 pounds with bigger fish always possible. They're more structure-oriented than stripers, holding tight to cover like fallen trees, rock piles, and weed edges. Spring and fall are prime times when they move shallow to feed, but even during summer, early morning topwater action can produce explosive strikes. These bass are ambush predators, so presentation and accuracy matter more than with stripers. The fight is different too – more bulldogging and head-shaking rather than the long runs of a striper.
Smallmouth bass round out the trio of target species, and while they might be the smallest of the three, they're pound-for-pound the hardest fighters. Lake Texoma's smallmouths love the rocky points, ledges, and deeper structure where they can relate to both cover and open water. They average 1 to 3 pounds but make up for size with pure attitude – a 2-pound smallmouth will fight like a fish twice its size. They're most active in spring and fall when water temperatures are in their comfort zone, but summer fishing can be excellent if you're willing to work deeper water. These bronze-backed fighters are a favorite among anglers who appreciate technical fishing and spirited battles.
Lake Texoma's reputation as a world-class striper fishery isn't going anywhere, and neither is Captain Brad's track record of putting clients on fish. This 5-hour charter gives you the perfect window to experience what makes this lake special while learning from guides who live and breathe these waters. With all gear included, fish cleaning provided, and a maximum of just 2 anglers, you're getting a premium fishing experience that focuses on results. The early start times mean you'll

Micropterus SalmoidesLargemouth bass are the heavyweight champions of Lake Texoma's bass family, typically running 12-24 inches and 1-4 pounds. You'll find them around submerged structure, brush piles, and creek channels where they can ambush prey. Spring and fall are prime times when they move shallow, but summer finds them deeper in 15-25 feet of water. What makes them special is that famous fighting spirit - they'll jump, dive, and give you everything they've got. The meat's pretty decent eating too if you're looking for dinner. Here's a local trick: when fishing deep summer structure, try a Carolina-rigged worm in green pumpkin. Let it sit on bottom for a few seconds after it hits - that's often when they pick it up.
Micropterus DolomieuSmallmouths are the scrappy fighters of Lake Texoma, usually running 12-18 inches but pound-for-pound the toughest bass you'll encounter. They love rocky areas, chunk rock banks, and deeper structure where the bottom is hard. Spring and fall are your best bets when they're more active in 10-20 feet, though summer finds them deeper. What makes them special is that relentless fight - they'll jump repeatedly and never give up. The meat is firmer and milder than largemouth, making great table fare. They prefer cooler, clearer water than their largemouth cousins. Local tip: try a ned rig with a green pumpkin worm around those rocky transition zones. Fish it slow and let it sit - smallmouths will often pick it up on the pause.
Morone SaxatilisStripers are what Lake Texoma is famous for, and for good reason. These silver rockets typically run 20-40 pounds here, with their distinctive dark stripes running head to tail. You'll find them relating to main lake structure - points, humps, and creek channels in 25-50 feet of water. Early morning and evening are peak times, especially spring through fall when they're actively feeding. What guests love most is the raw power - these fish will bend your rod and test your drag like nothing else in the lake. The meat is firm, white, and excellent on the table. Pro tip: when we're fishing deep structure, live shad on a downline rig is hard to beat. Keep your bait just off bottom near those rocky points where they hunt.
