Sixhour private charter targets paddlefish, crappie, and largemouth bassProfessional equipment and experienced local guide included throughout tripChildren under 18 fish free with family groups
Six hours on Oklahoma's prime lake waters targeting some of the state's most sought-after species. This private charter puts you on fish with dedicated time for paddlefish, crappie, and chunky largemouth bass. Whether you're looking to dial in your technique or just want consistent action, this trip delivers the goods. Your local guide knows these waters like the back of their hand and provides all the gear you need. Perfect for families too – kids under 18 fish free, making it a no-brainer for getting the whole crew on the water.
You'll spend the day moving between productive spots where each species tends to stack up. Oklahoma's lakes offer incredible diversity, and this charter takes full advantage of that. Your guide reads the water conditions daily and adjusts the game plan accordingly. Some days we're working deeper structure for crappie, other times we're hitting the shallows where bass are feeding aggressively. The beauty of a six-hour trip is having time to really work different areas without feeling rushed. You'll learn to read electronics, understand seasonal patterns, and pick up techniques that'll make you a better angler long after the trip ends. The boat stays comfortable for two anglers, giving everyone plenty of room to fish without tangling lines or bumping elbows.
We fish multiple methods depending on what's working best. For crappie, expect to work jigs around structure, maybe pull some cranks over submerged timber when they're scattered. Bass fishing varies with the season – throwing topwater early morning, flipping jigs into cover, or working soft plastics along drop-offs. Paddlefish require a completely different approach with specialized snagging techniques that your guide will walk you through step by step. All rods, reels, and tackle are included, but feel free to bring your own gear if you've got favorites. The guide carries everything from ultralight crappie setups to medium-heavy bass rigs. Electronics on board help locate schools and structure, but your guide also relies on years of experience reading water and weather conditions. You'll pick up tips on lure selection, presentation speed, and how to work different cover types that produce fish consistently.
Largemouth bass are the bread and butter of Oklahoma lake fishing. These fish grow fat on abundant forage and regularly push into the 4-6 pound range, with bigger ones always possible. Spring through fall offers excellent action, but each season requires different tactics. Spring finds them shallow for the spawn, summer pushes them to deeper structure during midday heat, and fall brings aggressive feeding as they bulk up for winter. What makes Oklahoma bass special is their willingness to hit a variety of baits – from classic spinnerbaits to finesse worms. They fight hard in these clear, structured lakes, often jumping and making strong runs toward cover.
Crappie fishing in Oklahoma lakes is legendary among panfish enthusiasts. These fish school heavily and when you find them, you can often catch dozens. White crappie and black crappie both inhabit these waters, with fish commonly running 10-14 inches and some slabs pushing over 15 inches. Peak times are spring spawn periods and fall when they school up in deeper water near structure. They're structure-oriented fish, so we target submerged trees, brush piles, and rocky points. Crappie fishing teaches patience and finesse – light bites require sensitive equipment and good technique. Once you dial in the depth and presentation, the action can be fast and steady.
Paddlefish represent one of Oklahoma's most unique angling opportunities. These prehistoric giants can exceed 100 pounds and provide an absolutely wild fight. Snagging season is regulated and typically runs late fall through early spring. It's a technique-heavy fishery requiring specific gear and methods that your guide has mastered. When you hook into a big paddle, you'll understand why anglers travel from across the country for this experience. They're filter feeders, so traditional bait fishing doesn't work – it's all about proper snagging technique in the right areas. The fight is unlike anything else in freshwater, with long runs and bulldogging power that'll test your arms and equipment.
This six-hour private charter delivers exactly what Oklahoma lake fishing is all about – variety, action, and the chance to target some serious fish. With professional guidance, quality equipment, and access to productive waters, you're set up for success from the moment you step on board. The combination of species keeps things interesting all day, and there's real value in learning techniques that work consistently on these lakes.

Book your private charter now and get ready for some serious lake fishing action that'll have you planning your next trip before this one's over.

Perfect for serious anglers who want a boat that performs as hard as they do on Oklahoma's productive lakes.
Pomoxis NigromaculatusCrappie are our most reliable table fish - typically 7-12 inches with sweet, flaky white meat that's hard to beat. You'll find schools of them suspended around submerged brush piles, fallen trees, and creek channels in 8-15 feet of water. Spring spawning season is prime time when they move shallow, but they bite year-round if you know where to look. Folks love targeting crappie because they travel in groups - find one, you'll likely find more. They're also perfect for kids since they don't fight too hard but still give that satisfying bend in the rod. Pro tip: use a small jig under a bobber and fish it slow. Crappie have paper-thin mouths, so set the hook gentle or you'll pull right through.
Micropterus SalmoidesOklahoma's largemouth bass run 12-24 inches and pack serious attitude. These green fighters love shallow, weedy areas around downed trees, boat docks, and rocky points where they can ambush prey. Spring through fall offers the best action, especially early morning and evening when they're feeding hard. What makes them special? That famous mouth opens wide past their eyes, and they'll put up a real scrap once hooked - jumping, diving, whatever it takes. The meat's decent eating too if you keep a few. Here's a local trick: when fishing our murky lake water, try anything with red on it. Bass here seem drawn to that color more than most places I've fished.
