Lake Texoma Striper Fishing is on "FIRE"

Apr 17, 2021 Gordonville

Lake Texoma Striper fishing right now is the best I have seen in many years. You don't need to be an avid angler to catch these beautiful fish and we would love to take you fishing.

Winter Striper Fishing at Lake Texoma

Jan 2, 2021 Gordonville

I realize most people are reluctant to participate in "Outdoor" activities during the winter months. However, if one of your items on your "bucket list" is to catch a trophy Striped Bass, the winter season offers you your best opportunity. Big stripers are now being caught in record numbers early in 2021. Book your trip today for "Winter 2021"!

Fall Striper Fishing

Sep 9, 2020 Gordonville

Most anglers think Spring & Summer is the best Striper fishing on Lake Texoma. While the fishing is good then, the fall sets up for more non-stop action because the fish feed longer and harder preparing for the winter season. Adult Striper's will gain 35% of their body weight leading up to the winter months.

We had a great time fishing with Kevin. The day started out slow, but he kept moving around and trying to get us some action and it finally paid off.

Kevin knew the lake well and moved us around and kept us on the strippers. And his boat was roomy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend him.

Even though the time of year was not the best fro striped bass, we did catch a few but Kevin ensured we did not go home empty handed. We caught some nice blue cats and was happy he located them for good fishing action.
