 Little Axe Drive, Norman, OK 73026, United States

Book your next trip with Ben’s Guide and find out what keeps anglers coming back to Lake Thunderbird for more. With Captain Benny at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Largemouth Bass, Striped Bass, Catfish, and more inhabit these waters, depending on when you go. You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

Your excursion begins aboard a 16’ Sun Tracker pontoon boat with space for 5 passengers. It has all the essentials. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates often work for tips and it’s customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It’s recommended to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, time to hit the water with Ben’s Guide!

Great Boating Trip

5 Hour Trip on June 9, 2023

We rented the boat last June 2023. My husband, myself & 3 of our children wanted to get out. My husband loves fishing, I like cruising & swimming, our child like everything. So this fishing pontoon was perfect. Boat is brand new & had life vests for all of us, plus the fishing gear. From placing order to rent to pick up, everything was a smooth process. Would rent from Benny again.

Capt. Benny runs trips out of Norman aboard a 16’ Sun Tracker. These waters are known for Catfish and Bass and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
