Trip - Weekday Special on September 30, 2024

Had the opportunity to go out with captain Troy for the first time this morning with my dad. Captain Troy is serious captain with great gear and a even better attitude. Best captain I have had on lake Texoma to date and the third one I have tried. I will rebook in the future.

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.

Trip - Weekday Special on November 9, 2023

Troy did a great job trying to get us our limit of stripers and some bonus jug cats. He gave us extra time he didn’t have to so we would catch limits as the weather made the fishing slow. Will definitely see Troy again. Would be 5 star if we coulda got bigger sized fish.

Troy was amazing! He was very knowledgeable on where and how to find the fish. He made the trip fun and very easy going. There was 6 of us on the trip, and Troy made it feel like he was one of the guys in our group. I would 100% recommend Troy to anyone that wants a guide that will put you on fish and make it fun at the same time. Thanks again for a great experience, Troy!

Trip - Texoma Fishing Guides on July 25, 2023

You’re not going to fish with a nicer guy!! He worked his tail off and we got our limit plus a few good eating size blue cat. Super respectful, great with my 11YO and my wife. Being a family man himself he knew them having a good time was important. He has the best fishing equipment and an awesome boat. He cleaned the fish and bagged them for us as well. He is also an army veteran and you got to feel good about supporting a veteran owned business. Five stars for sure!!!
