There's nothing quite like the rush of watching your rod bend when a big striper hits your bait in the early morning light. Lake Texoma serves up some of the best striped bass fishing in the country, and our private morning trips put you right in the action when these fish are most active. You'll be out on the water by 7 AM, which is prime time for striper fishing – these predators love to feed in the cooler morning hours before the sun gets high. We've got everything covered from start to finish: all your fishing gear, tackle selection based on current conditions, and we'll even clean and bag your catch so you can head home with fresh fillets ready for the dinner table.
Your Lake Texoma striper adventure kicks off bright and early at 7 AM when the fish are hungry and the water's still cool. We're talking about 4-6 hours of solid fishing time, or until you hit your limit – whichever comes first. The boat comfortably handles up to 3 anglers, which means plenty of elbow room and personalized attention whether you're a weekend warrior or picking up a rod for the first time. Lake Texoma's massive size gives us options – we'll move around to find where the stripers are schooling that day, using electronics to locate baitfish and structure. The atmosphere is relaxed but focused, with cold drinks available and plenty of time to enjoy the lake's scenery between hookups. Don't forget each angler needs a $12 Lake Texoma fishing license, but that's a small price for access to some of Texas and Oklahoma's best striper waters.
Striper fishing on Lake Texoma requires the right approach, and we've dialed in our techniques over years of guiding on these waters. We typically start with live bait presentations – fresh shad is the gold standard here since that's what these stripers feed on naturally. Medium to heavy action rods paired with spinning reels give you the backbone to fight these powerful fish while still having enough sensitivity to feel subtle bites. Depending on conditions, we might troll umbrella rigs or Alabama rigs to cover water and locate active schools, then switch to vertical jigging or live bait once we mark fish. The key is staying mobile and adapting to what the stripers want that particular morning. Water temperature, wind direction, and baitfish movement all factor into our game plan, but that's what you're paying for – local knowledge that puts fish in the boat consistently.
Striped bass are the main attraction on Lake Texoma, and for good reason – this lake produces some true giants. These silvery bulldogs typically run anywhere from 3-15 pounds, with plenty of fish in the 8-12 pound range that'll give you a real workout. Spring and fall are peak seasons when stripers are most active, but summer mornings can produce fantastic action as these fish chase shad in cooler water. What makes stripers so exciting to catch isn't just their size – it's their fighting ability. When a good striper grabs your bait, you'll know it immediately. They make powerful runs, often jumping clear of the water, and they don't give up easily. The meat is excellent too, with firm white fillets that taste great grilled, blackened, or fried. Lake Texoma's population of hybrid stripers adds another dimension to the fishing – these striper-white bass crosses are extremely aggressive and provide non-stop action when you find a school.
