    First trip fishing from a boat.

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on September 5, 2026 • 3 adults

    My boyfriend, son and I had a fantastic time. Papa Bob was patient and knowledgeable. Showed us how to use the equipment to get the best bites. We hit our limit right about the time it started getting hot. They cleaned and packed them quickly while we talked about fishing. We will definitely use Papa Bob for our future fishing trips at texoma. Thank you for a great time.

    Great time!

    5 Hour Trip (PM) Winter only on March 21, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Bob made sure me and my lil boys had some fun even in touch conditions (and it's a lot of work with kids). Fishing hasn't been great the last few weeks per multiple sources. Captain Bob pulled a lot of tricks out of his hat to make sure we catch a few - and we caught some Biggins! Did a great job cleaning the fish for us and it was some of the best fish I've ever had.

    Great Captain.

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on July 14, 2026 • 2 adults

    Put us on fish right away. We kept at it even after our agreed amount of time to try and finish our limits. The guy even sold me the shirt off his back. Great time. I will book with Bob again.

    Great fishing trip!

    5 Hour Trip (PM) Winter only on March 20, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Robert took us to many places to catch fish. Was a tad slow at first but he knows where to go! Put us on the fish and we were catching them left and right. He took care of everything from baiting our hooks to dropping us down to the correct depth of where the fish were stationed. He even went over the 5 hours for us to catch our limit. Great captain and his deck hand Sherman was great as well. Highly recommend and we will be back. Texoma is a beautiful lake and the striper fight hard.

    Tough Bite

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on October 14, 2023 • 5 adults

    With a cold front shoving in bringing 20+ mph winds, choppy waters, and first cold snap of the season, the odds were stacked against any angler on the water that day. Took us a bit but Capt. got us on some fish. We returned with less than limit but more than we could eat at once. As I watched the other boats come in with low slung heads and empty baskets I knew if it hadn’t been for Capt. Papa Bob, we’d also be skunked like the rest. He can find ‘em but no one can make a fish eat if it ain’t hungry. 10/10 highly recommended!

    Family Fun

    5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 22, 2024 • 4 adults

    My family and I had so much fun. Our lines were in the water little after 6am. Papa Bob was attentive and friendly. He took us areas where there were little to no other boats. He took care of the baiting and the cleaning. We caught 35 Striper, plenty more than we thought we were gonna get. We have enough to share with friends and family. Highly recommend Papa Bob.
