Capt. Bob runs trips out of Pottsboro (Little Mineral Marina) aboard a 26 ft Sea Haus with over 40 years of navigating/fishing experience on lake Texoma. These waters are known for Striped Bass, and he will show you how to catch them. He has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to catch fish is to join him out on the water! You'll be aboard a new first-class boat with all the latest electronics and fishing equipment. Fishing from one the safest boats on the lake. His motto is ' If they hiten we ain't sittin'. '

    Whate a great experience. When I have time will certainly contact Bob.

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    I was blown away by Bob. He was a gentleman at every opportunity. There was no question he knew the lake, fish, bait, and how deep to fish. We caught our limit of strippers before 10am. Then we went back to the dock and he cleaned the fish and bagged them for us. The boat was spotless looked new and all the equipment was first rate and in its place. The day of our charter the expectation was a cold front coming through and heavy thunderstorms. Bob provided rain gear that was clean, new and folded. Bob told us we would fish until we got our limit or thunderstorms rolled in. It worked out perfectly, we were back at the dock before the storms with our limit. Bob’s wife met us back at the dock and while Bob cleaned the fish she was preparing the boat for the next charter. In a word the experience was great. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family. I will be a repeat customer. Thanks.

    Captain Bob is the man!!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    We had an unbelievable day on the water with Captain Bob! We caught stripers all day, and he’s extremely knowledgeable of the fish and Lake Texoma as a whole. It didn’t take long to feel like we were fishing with an old friend who just happens to be an expert. He makes you feel very comfortable, and is accommodating to all skill levels. Every now and then other fishing boats would be within sight, and they did not seem to be having the success we were. He knows where the fish are! So if you’re looking to catch fish and have a great experience I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Captain Bob!

    Great Time Had By All.

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Bob's Guide Service is the best guide Service i have ever used!! The boat and equipment were in perfect condition. Very clean boat. Captain Bob was very personable, he worked had to make sure we all had the time of our lives. Bob was easy to get a long with and did not say anything negative, off color or any foul language. I took my 90 year old friend and Captain Bob made sure it was a special time for him. Each one of us caught out limit. Captain Bob is the guide to hire for any ages...be it your young children all they way up to senior adults. THE BEST GUIDE I HAVE EVER USED!!!

    Great Trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    We had a great family outing on Father's Day. We were early but Bob was ready and we got started by 6:15 and were fishing by 6:20. Bob was super Texas Friendly and had the gear in top shape and shad ready and gave us a quick rundown. He moved us around on the lake and communicated with his group of buddies to make sure we hit the best spots. Thanks Bob! We will definitely use you again.

    Limited out within 2 hrs of leaving the slip. Captain Bob is not only a great guide, but a good guy, also. Me and mine wouldn't choose anyone else for Texoma.

    I’ve been on a lot of guided trips and never experienced the quality of service like bob provided. When things were not going good bob changed things up and put us into the fish. Very knowledgeable and had outstanding service to everyone one on the boat
