Trip Overview

We're talking 6-8 solid hours on the water, giving you plenty of time to find those honey holes where the big stripers like to hang out. Troy's got all the gear you need - rods, reels, and a tackle box full of lures that the Lake Texoma stripers can't resist. This isn't your typical "catch your limit and head home" kind of trip.

Just remember to grab that Lake Texoma fishing license before you show up, and we'll take care of the rest.

What to Expect on the Water

When you're out with Troy, you're in for a real treat. We'll be using a mix of live bait and lures, depending on what the stripers are biting that day. You might start off trolling with some big swimbaits, then switch to live shad when we find a school. Troy's boat is rigged up with top-notch electronics, so we can spot those striper schools and structure where the big ones like to hide. Don't be surprised if we bounce around the lake a bit - that's all part of the strategy to put you on the fish. And hey, with a full day, we've got time to try different techniques and really dial in what's working. You might even pick up some new tricks to use on your next solo fishing trip.

Top Catches This Season

Lake Texoma's been on fire lately, with anglers pulling in some real beauties. We've seen stripers in the 20-30 pound range, with a few monsters pushing past that. It's not uncommon to hook into a dozen or more good-sized fish on a full day trip. But remember, it's not just about the numbers - it's about the fight, the experience, and maybe landing that personal best you've been chasing. Troy's been guiding on Texoma for years, and he knows where those trophy fish like to hang out. Whether it's working the points, drifting over submerged humps, or chasing schools in open water, we'll put you in the right spot to make it happen.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: These are the kings of Lake Texoma, and for good reason. Stripers are hard-fighting, school-oriented fish that can grow to impressive sizes. In Texoma, it's not uncommon to catch stripers in the 10-20 pound range, with some real giants out there pushing 30 pounds or more. They're most active in the cooler months, from fall through spring, but can be caught year-round with the right techniques. Stripers are known for their powerful runs and their tendency to fight all the way to the boat. When you hook into a big one, hold on tight - it's gonna be a wild ride!

White Bass: While we're primarily targeting stripers, you're likely to tangle with some white bass too. These smaller cousins of the striper are a blast to catch, especially when they're schooling up and feeding aggressively. They typically run in the 1-3 pound range, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers. When you find a school of white bass, it's not uncommon to catch one on almost every cast. They're great eating too, so if you're looking to take some fish home for dinner, white bass are a excellent choice.

Catfish: Lake Texoma is also home to some monster catfish, including blue cats, channel cats, and flatheads. While we're not specifically targeting them on this trip, don't be surprised if you hook into one, especially if we're using live bait. Blue catfish, in particular, can grow to enormous sizes in Texoma, with fish over 50 pounds not unheard of. If you do hook into a big cat, get ready for a test of strength - these bottom-dwellers are known for their powerful, dogged fights.
