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 .

I over the past 30 years have fished nearly every spot on this lake. I said fished not caught. But I have a high success rate and lots return customers, now close friends. I have seen the other side of this earth while a soldier, swabby in the USN. I have seen lots my old friend pass to be free of worries and pain. I have seen lots of my younger friends pass on, and hopefuly in the heavens! I have seen great years and bad years, but still running like a child, well maybe fast walk! But recently I have developed problems, a large melanoma in my back! It has been removed, but in this hot weather I cant keep it dry! I am going to take a little time off and block about a month or two, to recover completely! I appreciate all my customers but this is something I need to do if I am going. keep the “old man out”! I will return when my back issues are healed! So see ya in the fall if I see ya at all!”

My latest career, since I was. In the Navy and loved my job and water, I later after my careers became a guide on Lake Texoma! I have been a guide on this lake for 30 years! If I don’t have a trip I still go out fishing . I am or will soon be 83. That’s little old but with great experiences! I won’t quit now, although many setbacks ! I am a Veteran of the Vietnam War. I did not seek action as I joined the Navy! Loved it and should have stayed longer! But after my business career with ATSF Railroad I went fishing! The last couple years have been the hardest with the extreme heat in summer! Pick Spring or Fall. I have the same boat since 94, and catch as many fish as those younger guys with the long boats, maybe more! I go fish every day even if I don’t have a trip. I have two boats now. Come join me for a great day on the water, and catching a Bonus! JD
