Lake Texoma Striper and Catfish Charter
When you're looking for consistent action on one of Oklahoma and Texas's premier fishing destinations, Circle B Guide Service delivers exactly what you're after. This 5-hour charter puts you right in the heart of Lake Texoma's best fishing spots, where stripers run thick and catfish grow fat. Whether you're bringing the kids for their first real fishing adventure or you're a seasoned angler chasing that next wall-hanger, Captain Brad and his crew know these waters like the back of their hand. All your gear, bait, and tackle are covered, plus they'll clean your catch so you can focus on what matters most – getting your line wet and having a blast on the water.
What to Expect on the Water
Your day starts early when you meet the Circle B crew at the launch, and from there it's all about putting you on fish. These guys don't mess around – they've been working Lake Texoma for years and know exactly where the stripers are schooling and the catfish are biting. You'll be fishing from a well-equipped boat that handles Texoma's big water with ease, and with space for up to six anglers, there's room for the whole crew to spread out and work different techniques. The guides provide everything you need – quality rods and reels, fresh bait, and all the terminal tackle to match the conditions. What really sets this trip apart is how hands-on it gets. These aren't guides who just drive the boat and point – they're right there helping you read the electronics, adjust your presentation, and land every fish that hits your line. Kids especially love how patient and encouraging the crew is, and don't be surprised if they let your little ones take the wheel when you're running between spots.
Techniques and Tackle
Lake Texoma demands different approaches depending on what you're targeting, and Circle B runs the full playbook. For stripers, you'll be working everything from live bait presentations around structure to casting artificials when the fish are busting on top. The guides excel at finding those feeding schools on the main lake points and creek mouths where stripers ambush shad. When it comes to catfish, they know the productive holes and ledges where blues and channels stack up, and they'll have you fishing the right baits at the right depths. Largemouth and smallmouth action happens around the rocky banks and submerged timber, where precise presentations with soft plastics and crankbaits get the job done. The boat comes loaded with fishfinders and GPS to mark productive spots, and the guides share their knowledge freely – teaching you to read the water and understand what the fish are doing. They're not just putting you on fish; they're making you a better angler in the process.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Looking forward to fishing with him again in the future." - Karli. "Brad was a wonderful guide, not only did we catch our limit. He had us laughing the whole trip.

We loaded up some stripers today!" - Kimberly.
Target Species You'll Hook
Striped bass are the main attraction here, and for good reason. These silver rockets can run anywhere from keeper-sized school fish to trophy-class brutes pushing 20 pounds or more. Spring and fall offer the most consistent striper action when they're actively feeding on massive shad schools. What makes them so addictive to catch is that explosive strike and the way they strip drag on their first run. Lake Texoma's stripers are healthy, aggressive fish that fight clean and taste even better on the dinner table.
Channel catfish and blue catfish both call Texoma home, and they provide steady action when you want to fill the cooler. Channels typically run 2-8 pounds and are perfect for kids to battle, while blues can stretch well into double digits. Summer nights are prime time for catfish, but the guides know how to find them during daylight hours around deeper structure. These whiskered fighters don't give up easy – they'll test your drag and make you work for every fish.
Largemouth bass thrive in Texoma's creek arms and shallow cover, offering classic bass fishing action on both artificials and live bait. Spring spawning periods bring the biggest largemouths into fishable water, and they'll crush everything from topwater plugs to Texas-rigged worms. A 5-pound largemouth from Texoma's clear water fights like a fish twice its size, making every hookup a memorable battle.
Smallmouth bass are the scrappiest fighters in the lake, pound for pound. They love the rocky structure and main lake points where they ambush crawfish and minnows. Fall brings excellent smallmouth fishing as they fatten up for winter, and these bronze-backed bulldogs will give you a fight you won't forget. Even a 2-pound smallmouth will make your drag sing and test your tackle.
Crappie round out the target species list, and when they're biting, you can load the boat with these tasty panfish. Spring spawning runs bring crappie shallow where they're easy to pattern, and the guides know exactly which brush piles and creek channels hold the biggest schools. Nothing beats a mess of fresh crappie fillets, and these cooperative fish make for great action when you want to keep the rods bent.
