Crosscreek Guide Service

When it comes down to exclusive trips on Lake Texoma, Crosscreek Guide Service is a great choice. The company specializes in putting their
clients on top of the hottest bite in the “Striper Capital of the World,” which they have been doing since 1994.

If you want to explore the bountiful Pottsboro waters, Captain Jerry Dorsey should be on top of your list. He’s enjoyable to fish with, has a well-maintained and safe boat, great equipment, a 98 percent catch ratio, and a very competitive charge for his services. Jerry enjoys people and goes above and beyond to satisfy his clients.

Join your guide aboard his 22’ Triton center console. Built in 1999, this fast boat has plenty of space for up to 4 anglers. It comes powered by a single 250 HP Yamaha engine and is fully outfitted with everything you need for a productive day out on the water.

The boat is rigged with a GPS and a fishfinder to build up a clear image of where the fish are hiding. There is also a livewell and an icebox for the catch, along with all the necessary safety equipment.

On your day out, you will be able to try your hand at “kicker back” trolling method, which is your guide’s specialty. He will provide you with quality rods, reels, tackle, and lures to catch your limits of Striped Bass.

All you have to do is purchase a valid fishing license, which will be around $12. Your food and drinks are also welcome on board. Don’t forget to grab your camera with you to take photos with the catch!

Anglers of all skill levels are welcome to join in the adventure!  I now have a second boat, a 22 Skeeter, and kike to use it myself but if booked I can get another captain and fish together.  The second boat is like new but I dont like to overcrowd so limit it to 2-3 persons a trip.  We fish together making it fun to maybe compete against each other.  It also provides everything for a fishing trip!
Let it be known prior to trip who prefers to go together so I can line things properly .
