Get ready embark on an EPIC Striper fishing adventure with Captain Charles on Lake Texoma. Charles has been fishing Texoma his entire life.  He has a reputation of putting customers on fish quickly instead of wasting valuable fishing time looking for them.  Captain Charles has also built a reputation of being one of the friendliest and helpful guides on the lake.  He is great with kids, and a patient teacher for those new to fishing. 

Using live bait Captain Charles will catch before he picks you up at the dock, you’ll target the hard fighting Striped Bass.  In addition to catching Stripers it is not uncommon to also catch white bass, blue catfish, and crappie during your trip. Those are bonus fish that you can keep in addition to your 10 Stripers!

You’ll be fishing from a 25’ Shearwater center console boat powered by a 300hp Yamaha outboard engine. If you are bringing more than 6 people, Captain Charles has a fleet of additional boats and professional guides ready to put everybody in your company, sales group, or church on hungry fish.

Captain Charles provides everything you’ll need for fishing: rods, reels, fuel, tackle, and live bait. At the end of your trip, he will fillet and bag your fish at no extra cost. All you need to bring are fishing licenses, snacks, and drinks.

Reserve your date and look forward to a fun fishing adventure with Captain Charles and Stanley Guide Service on beautiful Lake Texoma!

    Patient, Knowledgeable, and Great with Kids

    4 Hour Striper Fishing on September 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a great experience fishing with Charlie! He was very helpful and easy to work with from the beginning. The night before our trip, I had a few questions and needed to call, and Charlie was very quick to return my calls and make sure we had everything we needed. What really stood out was how patient he was with my son, Zach. This was Zach’s first fishing trip, and Charlie took the time to show him how to properly hold his pole, cast his line, and understand what we were doing. He explained things clearly and never hesitated to answer Zach’s many questions, which made the experience even more enjoyable for both of us. Overall, it was a great trip and a great experience. Charlie was knowledgeable, patient, responsive, and genuinely made the day enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Charlie to anyone looking for a fishing guide, especially if you’re taking someone who is new to fishing.

    Great Fishing Trip

    4 Hour Striper Fishing on July 30, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Charles was great. He got in touch with us several times in advance of our trip, was on time and super friendly. The boat and bait were ready to go, so we wasted no time getting on the water. He knew where the fish were and how to land them. We caught our limit an hour early. We had a blast, and we will definitely book again!!

    4 Hour Striper Fishing on July 13, 2025 • 6 adults

    Charles had issues with his boat the day before our trip and set us up with another guide he trusted. We had a “slow” morning, but ended up with more than enough fish to call the trip a success. I would highly recommend Charles and anyone he recommends.

    4 Hour Striper Fishing on March 29, 2025 • 2 adults

    Went out with Charles, on a very strange day of fishing. He kept finding fish, but they just wouldn’t bite. Captain Charles stayed out way late trying to connect. Finally we finished on some catfish, highly recommend, and will go again!! Thanks!!! Matt & Family.

I have been fishing for Stripers on Lake Texoma for most of my life. I know where the fish will be at all times of the year. I grew up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. After I finished my Bachelors Degree at Texas Wesleyan University I worked in management for Allstate Insurance for 17 years. After that I accepted a V.P. position over a call center at Bank of America. When I got word they were going to move my call center over seas I decided it was time to follow my dream of being a fishing guide. I have been guiding fishing trips for 20 years, and I look forward to every trip. Providing a service that helps people smile, destress, and have fun is very fulfilling. Not having to wear a tie to work is pretty cool too.

    Now that the hot summer is over the stripers are actively feeding again. Most days we are seeing large schools of stripers following balls of shad between 30-35 feet in 40 feet of water. We are also watching for diving birds early in the morning , but the birds have not been consistant every day.

    Striped Bass
    This month the stripers have been transitioning from spawning in the rivers and then going back to the lake. The stripers have been stacked up in river beds and creek beds close to the mouths of the Red and Washita Rivers. There have been some birds working close to the dam in the early afternoon, but the fish are not staying on top very long. Most of our fish have been caught on the edge of old river beds. We have been using live 3"-4" gizzard shad, and dropping them to 30 feet in 40-45 ft of water.
