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.
