There's a fish with your name on it in Platter and Louie's Lures Guide Service will help you catch it!

These waters hold game fish like Striped Bass, Sand Bass, Catfish, and more if you come at the right time of year. For these species, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own that your Kids like, Capt. Dirk . will Provide it for you. Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach! In Colder weather be sure to dress in layers. When it calls for rain be sure to bring good rain gear it will also keep you warmer on those cooler mornings on the water.

Capt. Dirk welcomes you aboard a 24' Blazer Bay boat with room for 5 passengers. It comes with downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures Live Bait is no problem, but be sure to let us know 24 hours before the trip so we can have it ready and waiting in our 45 gal bait tank. .

Before coming aboard, you will be required to buy a Lake Texoma Fishing license for everyone in your group. 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. A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water or soda and sunglasses. And Again Good Rain Gear. .

rain didn't stop us!!
3-4 Hour Striper After Noon Trip. on April 11, 20262 adults1 child

my 2 sons and i went out with Captain dirk and GW. The first couple hours, it was on and on rain. At one point, it was raining hard for about 10 minutes, and we were the only boat on the lake. That did not stop them from keeping us fishing. We had a great time hearing them banter and tell old stories back and forth. They did a great job making sure my 9 - and 19 yr old sons had a blast. It was a tough bite that day, but that didn't keep them from trying to help us limit out. we still ended up with about 15 keepers, which is plenty for us. the trip said 3-4 hrs, but they kept with it for about 6-7 hrs, making sure we tried everything possible. We will definitely be going back and booking with Captain dirk again!!

4 Hour Trip – Standard Striped Bass on March 7, 20262 adults

Had such a great time with our captain, full of great information, we started off with a stormy morning, but we stayed with the trip and had the best time for my father-in-law for his birthday, we will book again in the future.

Response from Captain

Gary and crew where a great group of guys. Enjoy the trip very much. We had to wait for the rain to get by us and a 30 degree temperature drop but we put a good box of fish together. Looking forward in the next trip.

I went to school to be a game warden and started fishing when I was 5 years old. In the late 80's early 90's I opened up my Guide service on Lake Texoma for Striped Bass.
