Reel Livin Guide Service is owned and operated by Captain Kevin, who's been fishing Lake Texoma for almost 2 decades. He's spent years of his free time at the lake perfecting the ways to catch Stripers. Head out in search of your own trophy with this local pro!
Capt. Kevin wants every guest to have a positive experience and does his best to make sure that happens. All trips are family-friendly and anglers of all skill levels are more than welcome aboard.
You'll be fishing from a 23' Falcon boat that accommodates up to 6 anglers. This center console is powered by a 300 HP GM engine that can reach speeds of up to 30 knots. She's got enough cozy seating space for everyone on board and enough room for everyone to fish at the same time.
You'll primarily target Striped Bass on your trip but you can always count on surprises. Occasionally, you'll get Crappie, Catfish, Largemouth, and Smallmouth Bass. If you want to focus on one of these other species, just let your captain know – Stripers are a great target, but you don't have to go only after them.
Capt. Kevin covers your fishing equipment and cleans your catch after the trip. You'll only need to purchase a fishing license and prepare some snacks and drinks for the day.

Keesha Watson5.0VerifiedHeck of a trip!
Half Day Trip on June 13, 2026 • 4 adultsIf you’re thinking about booking a striper guide trip, stop thinking and just do it! This was hands-down one of the most fun fishing trips I’ve ever been on. Kevin and his deckhand, Ryan were knowledgeable, patient, and had great sense of humor. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or someone who thinks a fishing reel is a new exercise machine, you’ll feel right at home. The fish were not as active today and that was common for alot of people on the lake. They were definitely there, just not hungry. Somedays you just cant get them like you want them. We had so many laughs and brought home some striper to cook. Hope to book with Mr. Cates again in the future.
Shawn Williams5.0VerifiedGreat Experience
Half Day Trip on July 25, 2026 • 3 adultsFirst time fishing guide trip. Boat was roomy and comfortable, guide was experienced, helpful and made the trip super enjoyable. We caught about 12 fish all together but we also didn't pick the best time for optimal fishing so be sure to research best time frame. Overall, we would highly recommend !!!

Half Day Trip on March 16, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a great time fishing with Kevin. The day started out slow, but he kept moving around and trying to get us some action and it finally paid off.

Mara Jones5.0VerifiedHalf day fishing trip
Half Day Trip on February 6, 2022 • 6 adultsBooked a half day with Captain Kevin to get the kids out of the house. Kids have never enjoyed fishing but really enjoyed the fishing guide service. Captain had everything ready to go and waiting for us at the dock. Despite there having just been freezing temps he navigated Lake Texoma fishing and provided a lot info for the kids on the Lake, spawning, fishing, and answered so many of our questions. Will definitely book again. Very family friendly and Knowledgeable.

Our Captain was knowledgeable and professional. We had very windy weather (gusts of 30 mph) but Kevin changed plans to find us a place with fish and avoiding the larger swells. He found us places closer to the shore as the tree line worked as a wind break so we were not constantly in the wind. I highly recommend Captain Kevin.

My son and had a great time fishing with Capt Kevin. Everything was ready and we departed immediately for a great day of fishing. He does it all from baiting, unhooking the fish and cleaning them at the end of the. He has a nice, spacious boat as well. Highly recommend!
