Fantastic day at Lake Texoma with a fantastic guide
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 15, 2024

I went on a guided trip on Lake Texoma with Captain Kenneth Zachary. After the freeze, the fishing was tough for me although I do pretty well winter fishing on my own. Ken told me the plan and it sounded like he was cooperating with the fish :). We went to the first spot and started catching huge fish right away. We caught about 7 oversized fish, and kept only 2. Ken took us to a different spot to catch some box fish. We were catching both large ones and box fish mixed. We caught 4 more large and about 5 box fish. After a while, we were catching only large ones. What a problem to have :). Overall, it was great fishing with Ken. He is calm, funny and he knows the lake extremely well. I strongly recommend Ken's services to anybody who wants a smooth, relaxing and catching type of a fishing trip.

Capt. Kenneth runs trips out of Pottsboro aboard a 25' Blazer Bay. These waters are known for Striped Bass and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or or using live bait. 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!
