We were not planning on a Stryper trip, and when we decided that we are going to have a fish fry and needed some fillets, I went about trying to find a guide service that was not already booked for the weekend, which was near impossible. I came to look on the Fishing Booker App and found Mark Bannisters guide service. He happened to have just a a cancelation for the following morning so I booked a 4 hour morning trip for 3 with Mark. I told him we were mainly looking to get fillets and he put us on them quick. We all had our limit in 2 hours. Mark is great guy who has alot of experience guiding and fishing on Lake Texoma. He took care of everything, we just had to show up. His fish cleaning skills are top notch. I would highly recommend his guide service . Thanks Mark for a great day!
you sure know how to make a guy blush. y’all made it easy , those fish didnt stand a chance!! looking forward to the next time!!
Now, if you ever find yourself on Lake Texoma and you want to catch fish like a pro, you need Mark. I swear he knows every underwater nook, cranny, and fish hangout like he’s got a GPS chip in his brain. He can tell you what bait to use based on the wind direction, moon phase, and whether your socks match. He’s like a fishing encyclopedia with a Southern drawl and a tackle box that looks like it belongs in a museum. Stripers, catfish, crappie—you name it, Mark knows where they are, what they’re hungry for, and how to make them practically jump into your boat out of respect.
Capt Mark was great! A cold front rolled in the day before our trip and capt was in constant communication regarding the weather and trip start time. At his discretion we moved the start time back to later in the day to let things warm up for the kids, which was a great call. He worked hard to put us on fish in the tough conditions, and we got the job done! The kids had a wonderful time and we will be coming back for sure.
y’all were a fun group!! i’m glab we waited and let it warm up but the kids were definitely troopers. they made us work for them and cover some territory for sure. looking forward to the next trip!!
I’ve fished with many guides on texoma but captain is the best!!! He won’t stop until you have a cooler full of fish. His boat and equipment is top notch!! I’ll only book with mark from now on
Mark is a 2nd-generation guide and is knowledgeable with a great custom boat. My son and I had a great day togather making memories.
I really appreciate the kind words :-) It was a great day on the water with amazing weather. looking forward to doing it again!!!
