Target striped bass on Lake Texoma with expert local guideFivehour morning charter includes all gear and fish cleaningEarly start times maximize fishing during peak bite windows
Get ready for some serious striper action on one of Oklahoma's premier fishing destinations. Our 5-hour guided charter targets the legendary striped bass that call Lake Texoma home, along with some quality largemouth and smallmouth bass when conditions are right. Whether you're a weekend warrior or someone who's never held a rod, we'll put you on fish using time-tested methods that work consistently on this massive reservoir. Early morning start times mean we're hitting the water when the bite is hottest, and you'll head home with cleaned fillets and stories worth telling.
Lake Texoma stretches over 89,000 acres across the Oklahoma-Texas border, creating the perfect environment for world-class striped bass fishing. We launch early to take advantage of those prime feeding windows when stripers are actively hunting schools of shad in open water. The morning bite is typically your best shot at consistent action, and we've got the local knowledge to put you right where the fish are stacked up. Our boat is equipped with quality electronics to locate schools and structure, but don't worry about bringing anything - we provide all the rods, reels, tackle, and bait you'll need. Just show up ready to fish, and we'll handle the rest. The trip is designed for up to 2 anglers, so you'll get plenty of personalized attention and coaching throughout the day.
Striped bass fishing on Texoma requires a mix of techniques depending on what the fish are doing. We'll use everything from live bait presentations with fresh shad to trolling umbrella rigs when the stripers are suspended in deeper water. Downlines with heavy jigs work great when we find schools holding tight to structure, and topwater action can be absolutely explosive during those magic morning hours. Our tackle selection includes medium-heavy spinning rods paired with quality reels spooled with 15-20 pound test line - perfect for handling the hard runs these fish are known for. We'll adjust our approach based on seasonal patterns, weather conditions, and what the fish are telling us through the electronics. Part of what makes this trip special is learning these proven methods from guides who fish this lake year-round.

Striped bass are the main attraction here, and for good reason. These silver rockets can range from schoolie-sized fish around 2-3 pounds all the way up to trophy specimens pushing 20 pounds or more. Peak season runs from late fall through early spring when cooler water temperatures keep them active throughout the day. During summer months, they tend to go deeper but the early morning bite can still be outstanding. What makes stripers so addictive is their aggressive nature - when you hook one, you know it immediately. They'll make long, powerful runs that test your drag system and keep your adrenaline pumping. The fight is clean and honest, with none of the head-shaking antics you get from other species.
Largemouth bass provide excellent secondary targets, especially around the numerous creek arms and coves that dot Lake Texoma's shoreline. These fish typically range from 1-5 pounds with occasional bigger specimens lurking in the deeper timber and structure. Spring and fall are prime times when they're actively feeding in shallower water, but we can find them year-round by adjusting our presentation and locations. Largemouth fight differently than stripers - they're more likely to jump and use cover to their advantage, making every hookup a tactical challenge.
Smallmouth bass round out the triple threat, and while they don't get as much press as their largemouth cousins, they pound-for-pound might be the scrappiest fighters in the lake. These bronze-backed beauties love rocky points, drop-offs, and clear water areas where they can ambush prey. Most run 1-3 pounds but what they lack in size they make up for in attitude. Smallmouth are particularly active during the cooler months and can provide fast action when conditions align. They're also excellent table fare if you decide to keep a few for dinner.
This top-rated charter fills up quickly, especially during peak fishing seasons when the bite is most consistent. We operate on a non-refundable deposit policy, so once you book your date, it's locked in. The 5-hour format gives us plenty of time to locate active fish, try different techniques, and make sure you get the most out of your time on the water. Fish cleaning is included, so you can focus on the fishing and leave the messy work to us. Whether you're planning a solo trip, bringing a buddy, or looking for that perfect father-son fishing adventure, this charter delivers the goods. Lake Texoma's reputation as a premier striped bass destination didn't happen by accident - book now to experience firsthand why anglers travel from across the region to fish these productive waters.
The Pro Vee 220 is your ticket to serious striped bass action on Lake Texoma's productive waters.

Built for fishing, she's loaded with everything you need including an onboard bait tank to keep your live bait fresh and lively. The spacious deck gives you plenty of room to fight those hard-pulling Lake Texoma stripers without getting tangled up. Her reliable engine means more time with lines in the water and less time dealing with mechanical issues. Whether you're casting topwater lures at dawn or working deep structure, this boat handles Lake Texoma's varying conditions like a champ. The setup is perfect for targeting those trophy striped bass that made this Oklahoma lake famous among serious anglers.
Micropterus SalmoidesLargemouth bass run 12-24 inches and typically weigh 1-4 pounds, though bigger ones are out there. You'll find them around structure - fallen trees, weed beds, rocky points, and drop-offs where they can ambush prey. Spring and fall are prime times when they're active in shallow water, but summer fishing works too if you target deeper areas early morning or late evening. What makes them special is that famous fight - they'll jump, shake their head, and really test your drag. The mouth on these fish is huge, living up to their name. Here in Texoma, I always tell folks to work your lure slow around cover. These bass are patient hunters, so don't rush your retrieve. They'll crush a spinnerbait or plastic worm if you give them time to commit. Good eating too if you keep a few legal ones.
Micropterus DolomieuSmallmouth bass are the scrappy fighters of the bass family, usually running 12-18 inches and 2-4 pounds. They love rocky structure, points, and clear water areas where they can hunt crayfish and small baitfish. Spring and fall are your best bets when they're shallow, but summer fishing can be great if you target deeper rock piles and ledges. What makes smallmouth special is their attitude - pound for pound, they fight harder than any bass species. They'll jump repeatedly and make strong runs that'll surprise you. The meat is firm and tasty too, with a mild flavor that's great fried or grilled. On Texoma, my tip is to focus on the dam area and rocky shorelines with a tube jig or small crankbait. Work it slow along the bottom - smallmouth are ambush predators that like to hide behind rocks.
Morone SaxatilisStripers are the main attraction here on Texoma, and for good reason. These fish average 20-40 pounds with some real monsters pushing 50-plus. They're open water hunters that follow schools of shad, so we're often fishing deeper channels and humps where the baitfish gather. Early morning is prime time when they push bait to the surface - you'll see birds diving and water boiling with feeding fish. What guests love about stripers is the sheer power - they'll peel line and fight hard to the boat. Plus, they're excellent eating with firm, white meat that's perfect for the grill. My go-to tip for Texoma stripers is watch your electronics for suspended fish over 25-30 feet of water. When you mark them, drop a live shad or heavy spoon right through the school.
