Living on the water, and running trips out of Kingston, Big Fish Texoma invites you to come fishing in style.

Capt. Mike will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in trolling, for the big bite.

Just sit back and relax as you troll huge swimbaits along underwater cliffs & ledges. But be ready, because when that rod lays over and the line screams off the reel, it’s just you and the fish!

Your adventure starts on a 25’ Blazer Bay boat that can safely take up to 8 anglers plus crew. Roomy sofa-like leather seating for five or six, in the front, creates a comfortable area to take in the shoreline, railroad & Hwy bridges, & the amazing homes built on this beautiful lake. (or to rest your arms after reeling in a huge fish) More rear seating, plenty of cup holders, and a dry compartment for your jackets and bags. If you have a small ice chest for your snacks, you can bring it, but make sure there is no glass containers.

When it comes to rods, reels, and terminal tackle, everything you need is included in the price.

Please keep in mind you’ll need to get a Texoma Permit from a fishing license dealer before the start of the trip. Or you can use your standard Oklahoma fishing license.

There may be a first mate on board. Tips for good service are always appreciated.

Want to bring the rest of the family along? Couples love these trips. Kids are welcome aboard, so you’re free to make it a family adventure. (Capt. Mike has plenty of life vests for those under 16.)

Book your trip now and come chase a trophy with Big Fish Texoma.

Note: Each Texoma angler is allowed 10 striper per day, but only 2 of them can be over 20" in length. Our goal is to put each of you on the two biggest fish we can find. Stripers well over two feet long (24") up to 33" are not uncommon. We do catch some of the under 20" fish, but our baits only attract the big fish.

    We bait a baker's dozen, thirteen (13) two-hook catfish juglines, then troll along underwater cliffs and ledges for huge Texoma Striper. It's relaxing, but be ready, because when the rod lays over and line screams off the reel, it's just you and that big angry fish. Come reel in the memory of a lifetime! The total trip time is 6 hours. 5+ hours of fishing, plus a mid-trip bathroom break. More fishing, then we retrieve the catfish jugs and take pictures, before I clean and bag your catch.
