Voice expectations up front, but this doesn’t come without a little experience already, what can be expected, to be expected, Check ur weather, and ask upfront, what’s an appropriate gratuity, can it be based on %? If $80 is a reasonable good tip, we can catch 22 fish each, if I catch only 60%. Then mabe 40-50$, sounds reasonable to me

The larger size boat that Captain Jacob Harbour had made for a very pleasant ride, it also eliminated problems of tangled lines, etc., with plenty of elbow room! Captian Jacob was very attentive to everyone in our group, from baiting our lines and guiding us in better ways to attract and catch the Stripped Bass! Thank you again, Captain Jacob Harbour, for a such a fun and fruitful(:, fishing experience on Lake Texoma!! (:

We had a blast; Mr. Zachary has the knack for finding the perfect spots for Stripers. We caught 13 of them, all a great size. I highly recommend Kenny's guided fishing trip with "American Striper Guides."

The water temperature was pretty high which drove the fish pretty deep. With a little cooler weather, it would have been a great trip. Shad was pretty tough to get but we had enough for our needs. Early June or late May, weather permitting, would be potentially a more successful trip for striper.

Book a trip for two or three with Texoma Outfitters and Captain Tim, bring a few drinks and snacks, and have a great time! The stripers were biting pretty steady at the third location we tried, so we anchored and kept catching for the rest of the trip. Book a room in Denison or Sherman for the night before your trip if you're not close and not a morning person like me!

They had been catching good numbers in the weeks before our trip, but our bad luck a cold front blew in and turned the fish off. We were still able to catch some, and there were tons of fish we were able to fish through, so they are there and Captain John does a great job keeping you in the best possible places to catch fish!

Dress warm, the mornings can be very cold, especially on a boat. However the fishing is excellent especially if you find a good guide that knows what to fish with and how to work the waters. The fish are constantly on the move.

Prepare well for potential weather changes. Be patient, there are a lot of fish in Texoma, it takes an experienced guide to put you on them.

Double check boat, and captain reviews before booking. Boat and equipment condition in my opinion are critical to the experience.

It was pretty warm! The captain told us the fish are a little more active in the fall and winter but we still caught a lot of fish and were very happy.

Keep an eye on the weather. It just happened to be cloudy on the day we went. If had been sunny it would have been a long hot day in July

Bring a big hat and sunblock, get with the captain and see if you can bring a small ice chest for cold drinks and snacks

If there is a chance of a windy day, say over 15mph, look for a guide with a big boat. Keeping It Reel has a big boat and it served us well when the wind picked up for a few hours.

Based on being over fish (seeing them on fish finder) but them not really feeding, this might not be the best time of year for fishing on lake Texoma. May be sporadic this time of year.

Don’t trust the weather man in November. He may say it will be sunny and 65 but take warm clothes, we did and darn glad we were prepared.

Bring snacks and lots of water, if you are leaving in the morning you might want a sweatshirt. Be ready to reel em in when you’re captain finds the hot spots .

Patience as fishing in the heat can be frustrating as fish get temperamental. Can be hit and miss, but is usually pretty good.
