Snacks are never a bad idea so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach! In Colder weather be sure to dress in layers.

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. .

    rain didn't stop us!!

    3-4 Hour Striper After Noon Trip. on April 11, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 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!!

    Great Birthday Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Standard Striped Bass on March 16, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    We had an amazing time on our guide celebrating my 11-year-old’s birthday! It was a perfect mix of fun and learning. Captain Dirk was super friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience both enjoyable and educational. We got to catch some great fish, and he took the time to teach us all about the techniques and the best spots to fish. My kid had a blast, and it was a memorable way to celebrate. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun family outing with a bit of learning mixed in!

    Great trip and a great captain 😁

    4 Hour Trip – Standard Striped Bass on April 28, 2024 • 2 adults

    I got this trip as a gift for my 21st birthday with Dirk Champlin and it was even better then we hoped, we had a late start due to weather there was some lightning and of course didn't want to go out on the water with lightning but even then once the lightning quite enough for us the go out we got to do the full 6 hour trip we paid for a then some, we caught 16 fish and released about 8 and at the end Dirk filleted them good for us. I caught the biggest fish (a 30in Striper) and most fish I've ever caught and it started out rainy but turned into a really great trip! I'd definitely recommend and want to go again!

    Great Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Standard Striped Bass on June 10, 2025 • 4 adults

    We were 2 couples fishing with Captain Dirk. It was a very still morning but he put us on some good fish. We boated back into the ramp for a few minutes and then back out to a new spot. Captain Dirk hit it out of the park as we were all catching big fish as fast as he could get them off the hook. We had a blast and we will definitely come back.

    Captain Dirk is the best on the lake!

    4 Hour Trip – Standard Striped Bass on May 25, 2024 • 2 adults

    Dirk Champlin is a great fishing guide. He knows Lake Texoma like the back of his hand and he finds fish. He told us numerous times what to expect and it happened just as he said it would. Dirk is a family man and he honors his wife by his work ethic. I am 63 and have fished all of my life, and have always believed that it’s called fishing and not catching. If you go fishing with Dirk you will be catching! Thank you Dirk for a great day on the lake and thank you for your service! May God bless you!

    Dirk helped make our honeymoon fantastic!

    4 Hour Trip – Standard Striped Bass on October 27, 2024 • 2 adults

    We booked this trip as part of our honeymoon and it did not disappoint! Dirk was not only a lot of fun, but he did what it took to put us on the fish! The morning started off great, and even tho we hit a bit of a lull, he was persistent and didn't give up until we both limited out, something we've not experienced with other guides we've fished with before. We can't thank him enough and we'll definitely be calling him next time we're fishing Texoma!

    Fantastic Trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Standard Striped Bass on October 20, 2024 • 2 adults

    We had such a great time with our guide! It was just my wife and I and he was so accommodating and treated us very well! His expert knowledge and skills defiantly made the difference for what could’ve been a tuff day on the water. He put us on the fish and knew exactly where to go for a great catch and loads of fun. We caught our limit in no time! Defiantly recommend Dirk for anyone young, old and all skills levels! Great trip overall!

    Fished live bait in 30 plus mph winds. Found a spot I knew we could fish a little bit out of the 4 ft roller’s and we smoked the big fish and good box fish. We had a blast with this group that had never fished for stripers before.

    the captain is not for newer anglers would recommend in being experienced in catching striper. the captain yelled at my wife for missing the hook set on a fish. this was her first experience ever striper fishing. the guy kept us on the water for 9 hours to catch 6 fish all under 5lbs and also had not properly working equipment and had to have one of us drive the boat at one point. also did not clean the fish properly and left trash parts of the fish connected to the meat.
