Lake Texoma Full Day Trip: Troy's Guide Service

Full Day Fishing on Lake Texoma with Troy

Ready for a serious day of fishing on Lake Texoma? Troy's Guide Service has you covered with this full-day trip that'll keep your line wet from sunup to sundown. Whether you're after stripers, catfish, or whatever's biting, we'll put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. This ain't no quick hit-and-run fishing trip - we're talking 6 to 8 solid hours on the water, giving you plenty of time to work different spots and techniques.

What to Expect on the Water

This full-day trip is all about maximizing your time on Lake Texoma. We'll cruise out to some of Troy's favorite honey holes, switching up between trolling, casting, and live bait fishing depending on what the fish are in the mood for. You don't need to bring a thing - we've got all the rods, reels, and tackle you'll need. Troy knows this lake like the back of his hand, so be ready to learn some local tricks of the trade. We're not clock-watching here, so if the bite is hot, we might stretch things out a bit. It's all about getting you on fish and having a good time.

Techniques That Land the Big Ones

On Lake Texoma, versatility is key. We might start the day trolling deep-diving crankbaits along underwater ridges, then switch to casting soft plastics near shoreline structure. When the sun gets high, we could drop down some live bait to tempt those big stripers lurking in the depths. Troy's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, like using planer boards to cover more water or targeting schooling fish with topwater lures. Don't worry if you're new to these techniques - Troy's a patient teacher and will have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Lake Texoma is famous for its striped bass, and for good reason. These hard-fighting fish can top 20 pounds, and when they're schooling, the action can be non-stop. Stripers are aggressive predators that'll hit a variety of lures and put up a serious fight. They tend to go deep in the summer heat but can be found chasing shad near the surface in cooler months. Another popular target is the blue catfish. These whiskered giants can grow to over 50 pounds in Texoma. They're bottom-feeders that love cut bait and stinkbaits, and hooking into one feels like you're battling a submarine. Don't overlook the largemouth bass either - while Texoma might not be as famous for them, there are some real lunkers lurking around those rocky points and submerged timber.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Folks book with Troy year after year because he knows how to put you on fish, plain and simple. But it's not just about filling the livewell - it's about the whole experience. You'll learn new techniques, hear some great fish stories, and maybe even make some new fishing buddies. Troy's boat is comfortable and well-equipped, so you can focus on fishing instead of worrying about gear or navigation. Plus, with a full day on the water, you've got time to really dial in your technique and experiment with different spots and methods. It's the kind of trip where you might start out as a customer but end up feeling like you've been fishing with an old friend.

Top Catches This Season

Lake Texoma's been on fire lately, with some real trophy fish coming to the boat. We've been seeing a lot of stripers in the 15-20 pound range, with a few pushing 30 pounds. The blue catfish have been going nuts too, especially on cut shad near the river channels. One group last week landed a 40-pounder that put up a fight for nearly 20 minutes! The largemouth action has been steady, with several 5-pounders caught on plastic worms around submerged brush piles. And don't forget about those sand bass - when they're schooling, it's not uncommon to catch one on every cast.
