Explore one of the largest reservoirs in the US with Keepin It Reel Striper Guide Service. Based out of Pottsboro, TX, you’ll head from the southern shores of Lake Texoma in search of the prized Striped Bass. This tough-fighting creature is a must for any angler worth their salt, so take advantage of this incredible opportunity to fill the boat with plenty of these beauties.

Who better to take you fishing than an experienced, passionate captain? Captain Jacob Harbour has been fishing since he was old enough to walk and has spent a lifetime perfecting his angling his skills. He loves sharing his passion with others and promises to do whatever it takes to make sure you fall in love with this thrilling sport.

Up to 10 guests are welcome aboard the 33’ custom-built Ty Fulmer aluminum sportfishing vessel. A light and agile vessel, she’ll whizz you to productive fishing grounds in no time, before taking you to even the trickiest spots to cast away. Try trolling and drift fishing with live bait as you look to entice the bite of some monster fish.

Using the latest Abu Garcia and Ugly Stik geat, you’ll have everything you need for a productive day out. Get ready for plenty of action, as you go after tough-fighting, incredibly-sized Striped Bass. Left to their own devices in this pristine lake, they’ll amaze you by their size and propensity to do whatever they can to get off the end of your line, so come prepared to work up a sweat.

At the end of your trip, Capt. Jacob will clean and prepare your catch for you, so you’ll be able to enjoy the fruits of your labor as soon as you get home. All you need to do is grab your lake texoma fishing license, bring some drinks and snacks, along with an ice box to keep your fish in, and away you go.

Keeping It Reel Striper Guide Service promises a tailored trip to show you the incredible fishing on Lake Texoma. Come aboard and make the most of it!

Had a beautiful afternoon for fishing in late October and Jacob took the time to get us to just the right spot for some good fishing as soon as we dropped our lines. Jacob's boat was roomy for 6 people and ice chests. He advised depth adjustments for our bait as needed to improve our chances and used other fun tricks to help attract the stripers. When things began to slow after a couple hours, he radioed other groups to find better opportunities. He didn't let us sit for overly long periods without some action. Nearing the end of the day, we were still short of our limit, so he offered to take us to "one last spot" to get us there. We had another great run and fell only a little short as a group. He cleaned, filleted and bagged our fish well and took our group pictures. Great time for Grandpas, Dad and sons.

I didn’t think we would catch any fish due to the water conditions. However, our guide was able to find a school of large strippers. My brother-in-law and I both got large strippers. Not long after that we got our 2nd. What a great day!

Jacob made fishing with my son and 10 year old grandson a special experience. Always friendly, knew where to go and when to move on. We pulled some nice fish out of the lake and the look on my grandson ‘s face was worth a million bucks. Jacob is organized and very professional. Would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

We had a crew of 10 & absolutely had a blast. Jacob was on the ball & worked all day to find fish. We caught fish steadily throughout the day and ended with him going an hour longer and catching multiple big kicker fish! Highly recommend Jacob for striper fishing on Texoma!

It was a great trip. Our captain was knowledgeable and put us on lots of fish. His boat and equipment were great. He had plenty of live bait so we didn't have to skimp on it. There were 5 in our group and we all limited out. When we got back to the dock he expertly cleaned and then packaged them. I would highly recommend Keepin' it Reel as your next guide to Lake Texoma. When I go back, he will be who I fish with.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Captain Jacob has been fishing since he can remember. As soon as he turned 3 years old, he was handed a rod and has never looked back since. He finally decided to take the plunge and become a charter captain in September 2019, and likes nothing more than showing newcomers the riches of Lake Texoma.
