Great trip!
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 25, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Jason made our fishing trip an unforgettable experience! He was fantastic with the kids—patient, encouraging, and made sure everyone had a great time. Thanks to his expertise, one of the kids landed an incredible 10.275-pound striper, which was definitely the highlight of the day! We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a more fun day on the water. If you're looking for a knowledgeable captain who's great with families, we highly recommend Captain Jason. We'll definitely be back!!

thisnwas our for trip on Lake Texoma… It will not be our last!
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 11, 20263 adults1 child

Striper bites were scarce, but the one we caught was a beauty and the captain wad constantly trying to get us on the fish. We chose a ahort 3 hour evening trip due to availability and the heat and even though the striper bite wasn’t there, he put us on the sand bass for the evening finale! The top water action was well worth the wait! We plan on booking a trip for October!

Smooth Ride, Shade and Fish
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 23, 20261 adult1 child

We chose Buck’s trip because his boat was one of the few that offered shade for our evening trip in 95+ degree weather. He put us on fish at around 8pm and we ended up with one great 22 inch striper. We recommend Buck’s evening trip for anyone that wants to enjoy a smooth ride and shade in addition to great fishing!

I've been fishing Texoma for over a decade, and fishing Texas lakes since I was a kid. I enjoy educating folks so they can enjoy the water as much as I do. looking forward to tight lines and fun times. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
