Lake Texoma Striper and Catfish Fishing Charter
Lake Texoma is hands down one of the best fishing destinations in the region, and Circle B Guide Service knows exactly where the fish are biting. This 5-hour charter puts you right in the action, targeting some of the lake's most popular species including striped bass, catfish, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and crappie. Whether you're a weekend warrior or picking up a rod for the first time, we've got you covered with all the gear, bait, and local knowledge you need to make it a day to remember.
What to Expect on the Water
Your day starts early when you meet up with our experienced guides who know Lake Texoma like the back of their hand. We're talking about guys who've been working these waters for years, reading the conditions and fish patterns daily. You'll hop aboard our well-equipped boat loaded with quality rods, reels, and a tackle box full of proven lures and baits. The beauty of this charter is that everything's included - no need to worry about bringing gear or wondering if you've got the right setup. We handle up to two guests per trip, which means you get personalized attention and plenty of room to work. Our guides will put you on fish from the get-go, adjusting techniques based on what's working that day and what species are most active. The lake covers over 89,000 acres, so there's always a productive spot to try, whether we're working structure for bass, finding schools of stripers, or setting up in catfish holes.
Proven Techniques & Tackle
Lake Texoma fishing success comes down to reading the water and using the right approach for each species. For striped bass, we'll often start with live shad or work umbrella rigs when the fish are schooling. These stripers love to chase baitfish in open water, so we'll watch for bird activity and use electronics to locate the schools. When targeting catfish, we switch gears completely - fresh cut bait on the bottom near creek channels and drop-offs is the ticket. Our guides know the productive catfish spots and will anchor up where the big blues and channels hang out. Bass fishing requires a more varied approach depending on the season and conditions. We might throw spinnerbaits around timber, work soft plastics along rocky points, or pitch jigs into brush piles. The key is having multiple techniques ready and letting the fish tell us what they want. All our tackle is tournament-grade stuff that can handle the fight these fish put up. We also provide professional fish cleaning service, so you can focus on the fishing and take home fillets ready for the dinner table.

Top Catches This Season
Striped bass are the crown jewel of Lake Texoma fishing, and these fish don't mess around. Most stripers here run between 3-8 pounds, but we regularly see fish pushing 15-20 pounds that'll test your drag system. Spring and fall are prime time when stripers school up and feed aggressively on shad. They're ambush predators that love to pin baitfish against the surface, creating those famous "boils" that get every angler's heart racing. What makes stripers so exciting is their fight - they make long runs and have the stamina to keep pulling even when you think you've got them beat.
Channel catfish and blue catfish are Lake Texoma's bottom dwellers, and they grow big in these fertile waters. Channels typically range from 2-8 pounds and are consistent biters year-round, especially during warmer months when they're most active. Blue catfish are the real trophies here - these monsters can exceed 30 pounds and provide an arm-burning fight from the depths. Summer nights are prime catfish time, but we catch them consistently during daylight hours too. They're opportunistic feeders that'll hit everything from cut shad to prepared baits, and once hooked, they use their weight and the current to their advantage.
Largemouth bass in Lake Texoma are healthy, aggressive fish that love the lake's abundant structure and cover. Most bass run 2-5 pounds with plenty of opportunities for bigger fish, especially around the timber and rocky areas. Spring spawn brings the best action when bass move shallow and become more predictable, but they bite year-round if you know where to look. Smallmouth bass are the scrappiest fighters pound-for-pound, preferring the rocky areas and deeper structure. These bronze-backs might be smaller on average, but they fight like fish twice their size and are a blast on light tackle.
Crappie are the perfect family fish - they school up tight, bite consistently when you find them, and make excellent table fare. Lake Texoma's crappie run good size, with many fish hitting the 12-14 inch range. Spring is prime time when they move shallow to spawn around brush and timber, but we catch them year-round by working deeper structure and creek channels. They're perfect for kids and beginners because once you find a school, the action can be fast and steady.
