Lake Texoma Striped Bass Guided Fishing Trip
Ready to tangle with some serious stripers and blues on one of the country's top fishing destinations? Troy's Guide Service puts you right in the heart of the action on Lake Texoma, where monster striped bass and hefty blue catfish are waiting to test your drag. This isn't your typical fishing trip - we're talking about a 4 to 6-hour morning assault on some of the most aggressive fish in Texas and Oklahoma waters. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, Troy knows how to put you on fish when others are coming back empty-handed.
What to Expect on the Water
We launch at first light because that's when the magic happens on Lake Texoma. Those early morning hours are pure gold for topwater action, and Troy's got the timing down to a science. You'll spend at least 2 hours with lines in the water, using the freshest live bait we catch that same morning - none of that day-old stuff that other guides try to pawn off. If you're more of a lure slinger, just let Troy know ahead of time and he'll set you up with artificials that'll get the job done. Lefties don't get left out either - we've got left-handed reels ready to roll. All the gear is top-shelf quality, so you can focus on fighting fish instead of fighting equipment. Groups up to 3 anglers fit comfortably, and Troy makes sure everyone gets their fair share of the action. Just remember to snag your Lake Texoma fishing license before we shove off - it's required and we can't launch without it.
Live Bait and Tackle Setup
Troy's approach is all about giving you the best shot at success, and that starts with fresh live bait caught right there on the lake. We're talking about baitfish that were swimming free just hours before they hit your hook - that's the kind of presentation that drives stripers absolutely crazy. The tackle setup is dialed in for Lake Texoma's specific conditions, with rods and reels that can handle everything from schoolie stripers to those wall-hanger blues that'll make your arms burn. Troy's been working these waters long enough to know exactly what works when, and he's constantly adjusting techniques based on weather, water temperature, and fish behavior. The beauty of going with an experienced guide is that you don't have to figure out the puzzle - Troy's already solved it, and he's ready to share the solution with you.
What Anglers Are Saying
"My family of 5 hired Troy for a guided fishing trip this morning. We had a fantastic time. While it seemed like the fishing was going to be slow, we ended up going home with a cooler full of filets. My kids (14, 9, & 7 ) really enjoyed their first fishing trip and Troy was very accommodating! We highly recommend and will definitely be back!" - Erika
"Troy didn't just put us on some striper—he put us on rod-breaking, adrenaline-pumping monsters! The man catered to the ladies like a pro, keeping them happy with fresh bait and good vibes the entire trip. They felt so welcomed, they're already packing for round two! Definitely worth the extra miles for a day of epic fishing and endless laughs." - Daniel

Species You'll Want to Hook
Striped bass are the crown jewel of Lake Texoma, and these fish have earned their reputation as some of the hardest fighting freshwater species in North America. These silver bullets can stretch anywhere from schoolie size up to genuine monsters pushing 30-plus pounds, and they fight like they're twice that size. Spring through fall offers the most consistent action, but Troy knows where to find them year-round. What makes stripers so special is their unpredictability - one minute they're slamming topwater baits in shallow water, the next they're suspended over deep structure. When you hook into a good striper, you'll know it immediately - they make screaming runs that'll test your drag and your patience, often jumping clear out of the water in their bid for freedom.
Blue catfish in Lake Texoma are absolute tanks that can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 20 pounds being a real possibility on any given trip. These whiskered warriors are year-round targets, but they really turn on during the warmer months when they're actively feeding. Blues are different from their channel cat cousins - they're bigger, stronger, and they love deeper water where they can ambush baitfish. What anglers love most about blues is their raw power once hooked - they don't jump like stripers, but they'll drag you around the lake with steady, bulldogging runs that'll make your arms ache. Troy's got the blue cat game figured out, knowing exactly where they school up and what baits trigger the biggest fish to bite.
White bass might be the smaller cousins in this trio, but don't let their size fool you - these fish make up for it with pure attitude and numbers. When you find a school of whites, you can often catch them until your arms give out. They're particularly active during their spring spawning runs, but Lake Texoma holds good populations year-round. Whites are perfect for getting kids or new anglers hooked on fishing because they bite aggressively and fight with surprising strength for their size. They school up tight, so once Troy locates them, you can expect fast action with multiple hookups being the norm rather than the exception.
