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.

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.

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.
