Perfect afternoon fishing trip!
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 14, 20252 adults1 child
Captain Jason took great care of us while on his boat. My wife and I took our 10 year old grandaughter on this trip and Captain Jason made sure she caught plenty of catfish. About the time late evening when the striper started turning on she caught at least a 50 lb channel cat. Captain Jason wanted to put us on the striper but I called “calf rope!” we were all worn out from catching catfish. Captain Jason cleaned our fish and headed back to the Lake Texoma RV Resort which is only 5 minutes from Captain Jason’s boat slip at Highport Marina. I also highly recommend Lake Texoma RV Resort.

2nd Trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 23, 20252 adults
This was our 2nd trip with captain Jason. He informed us the striped bass fishing was off due to the spring flooding. He put us on our the perfect fishing spot and we caught our limit of big healthy striped bass. This was my girlfriend’s second time fishing ( both with captain Jason ) and she caught two nice stripers on her own with no help which made our trip. Then we went drifting for catfish which was a blast with 6 nice eating sized catfish caught. We recommend booking a trip with captain Jason from Bucks fishing guide service.

August fishing trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 23, 20254 adults
We enjoyed our trip with Captain Jason. The fishing was very slow due to recent flooding but Captain Jason did his best to put us on the fish. He seemed very knowledgeable about the lake and I’m confident that we would have done very well had the fish been more willing to bite. I would definitely recommend a trip with Captain Jason and I would like to go another trip with him in the future.
