Striper Fishing Lake Texoma | 8 Hour Charter Trip

Get ready to reel in some serious action on Lake Texoma! This full-day charter with Guide Russell is your ticket to some of the best striper fishing Texas has to offer. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, you're in for a treat. We'll spend 8 hours on the water chasing stripers, with the chance to hook into some catfish and crappie too. All the gear's provided, so you just need to bring your A-game and be ready to land some lunkers!

What to Expect on the Water

When you step onto the boat, you're stepping into striper central. Lake Texoma is famous for its striped bass population, and for good reason. These hard-fighting fish will give you a run for your money, and the satisfaction of reeling one in is tough to beat. Guide Russell knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you'll be hitting all the hotspots. We'll use a mix of techniques depending on what the fish are doing that day - could be trolling, could be live bait fishing, might even break out the artificial lures if they're hitting. The lake's always changing, and that's half the fun.

Don't worry about bringing any gear - we've got you covered with top-notch rods, reels, and all the tackle you'll need. And when you land that monster striper? We'll take care of cleaning and bagging your catch, so you can focus on the thrill of the fight. Just remember to grab your Lake Texoma fishing license before you come!

Fishing Techniques & Lake Know-How

On Lake Texoma, we're all about adapting to what the fish want. Some days, slow-trolling with live bait is the ticket. We might be using gizzard shad or threadfin shad - stripers can't resist 'em. Other times, we'll be casting artificial lures like topwater plugs or soft plastics. If the bite's tough, we might even try some bottom fishing for those big blue cats.

The lake's got its moods, and reading them is key. We'll be looking at things like water temperature, wind direction, and where the bait fish are schooling. Guide Russell's got a sixth sense for this stuff, so you'll be learning from one of the best. Whether we're working points, humps, or following the contour lines on the fish finder, you'll get the inside scoop on how to find and catch these Lake Texoma giants.

Top Catches This Season

Lake Texoma's been on fire lately! Anglers have been pulling in some real beauties. Just last week, a client hooked into a 28-pound striper that fought like a freight train. We've been seeing a lot of fish in the 5-15 pound range, with some bigger ones mixed in. The catfish action's been hot too, with some blues pushing 30 pounds coming to the boat. And let's not forget about the crappie - when we hit a school, it can be non-stop action with tasty slabs for the cooler.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: These are the kings of Lake Texoma. Stripers are hard-fighting, fast-swimming predators that can grow to impressive sizes. They're most active in the cooler months, but we catch 'em year-round. In the summer, look for them chasing shad on the surface - there's nothing like the explosion of a big striper smashing a topwater lure! These fish are known for their powerful runs and their delicious, flaky white meat.

Channel Catfish: Don't let their whiskers fool you - these cats can put up a serious fight. Channel cats are abundant in Lake Texoma and can be caught using a variety of methods. They're bottom feeders, so we'll often use cut bait or stinkbait to lure them in. The best part? They're delicious eating, perfect for a fish fry back at camp.

Blue Catfish: The big boys of the catfish world, blues can grow to enormous sizes in Lake Texoma. We're talking potential for 50+ pounders! They're typically caught in deeper water using heavy tackle. Blues are aggressive feeders and will hit on cut bait, live bait, or even artificial lures. Landing one of these monsters is a true trophy experience.

Crappie: These pan-sized powerhouses are a blast to catch and even better to eat. We usually find them around structure like submerged timber or brush piles. Light tackle and small jigs are the way to go. When we hit a school, it's not uncommon to catch dozens in a short time. Crappie fishing is especially good in the spring during their spawn, but we catch 'em year-round on Texoma.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Lake Texoma isn't just another fishing spot - it's a angler's playground. The diversity of fish species means you never know what you might hook into next. One minute you're battling a hard-charging striper, the next you're finessing a slab crappie to the boat. It's this variety that keeps folks coming back year after year.

But it's not just about the fish. There's something special about being out on Texoma. The way the sun rises over the water in the morning, lighting up the hills around the lake. The osprey diving for their breakfast as we motor out to our first spot. The camaraderie that builds over a day of shared excitement and anticipation. These are the moments that stick with you long after you've headed home.

And let's not forget the bragging rights. When you're showing off photos of that wall-hanger striper or that stringer full of crappie, your buddies back home are gonna be green with envy. Trust me, after a day on Texoma with Guide Russell, you'll be counting down the days until you can get back out here.

Time to Book Your Spot

Alright, let's cut to the chase - if you're itching for some world-class striper action, this is your chance. With Guide Russell at the helm, you're in for a day of fishing you won't forget. Whether you're looking to fill the freezer with tasty fillets or just want to tangle with some hard-fighting fish, Lake Texoma's got you covered.

Remember, we're limited to just two anglers per trip, so these slots fill up fast. Don't miss out on your chance to experience some of the best fishing Texas has to offer. Grab your buddy, your fishing license, and maybe a lucky hat, and let's hit the water. The stripers are waiting, and trust me, they're ready to give you the fight of your life. Book now and get ready to make some serious fishing memories on Lake Texoma!

Learn more about the species

Blue Catfish

Blue cats are the bruisers of the catfish world. These powerful fish can reach monster sizes - 50+ pounders aren't uncommon here. Blues prefer deep, open water near river channels and creek mouths. They're active year-round but really turn on in summer and fall. Fresh cut bait is key - skipjack herring, shad, or bluegill work great. Use heavy tackle - these fish can literally pull you in. Blues hit hard and fight like crazy, making long, powerful runs. The meat is excellent, especially from smaller fish. For trophy blues, try drifting or anchoring in 30-50 feet of water along a river channel edge. Use a fish finder to locate schools of bait - that's where the big blues will be. Nothing gets your heart pounding like the screaming run of a monster blue cat!

Blue Catfish

Channel Catfish

Channel cats are perfect for anglers wanting steady action. These whiskered bottom-feeders average 2-4 pounds but can reach 20+ pounds. They hang out near drop-offs and deep holes, especially areas with cover like logs or rocks. Cats feed heavily at night, so evening trips can be productive. Use smelly natural baits like cut shad, chicken liver, or prepared stink baits. A simple bottom rig with a circle hook works well. Let it sit and wait for that telltale thump. Channel cats put up a good fight and make excellent eating. For best results, try anchoring up in 15-25 feet of water near a creek channel. Toss out a few lines with different baits and see what they're biting on. It's a laid-back style of fishing that's great for relaxing and socializing.

Channel Catfish

Crappie

Crappie are fun little fighters that'll keep you on your toes. These tasty panfish usually run 7-12 inches and hang out near structure like fallen trees or brush piles. Look for them in 10-20 feet of water, especially during spring spawning season. Crappie tend to school up, so once you find one, you've likely found a bunch. They're not too picky - small jigs, minnows, or worms all work well. For best results, use light tackle and fish slowly. Crappie have soft mouths, so set the hook gently. Around here, I like to use a slip bobber rig with a small jig tipped with a minnow. Let it sit still near cover and wait for that bobber to dip. The meat is delicious fried up crispy, which is why folks love targeting these little guys.

Crappie

Striped Bass

Striped bass are hard-fighting fish that'll really test your gear. Here on Lake Texoma, we catch stripers year-round, with fish typically running 5-20 pounds. They roam in schools chasing bait, so look for them near points, humps, and creek channels. Dawn and dusk are prime feeding times. Stripers hit hard and make blistering runs, so heavy tackle is a must. Live bait like shad works great, but artificial lures like top-waters and jigs produce too. These fish put up an awesome fight and make excellent table fare. One tip - when you see birds working the surface, that's usually a good sign stripers are feeding below. Motor over quietly and cast into the frenzy. Nothing beats the thrill of a big striper smashing a top-water lure!
