Hey there, anglers! Ready for some serious striper action? We've got just the ticket with our 5-hour charter trip on Lake Texoma. This ain't your average fishing hole – we're talking about one of the best striper lakes in the country. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time holding a rod, our expert guides at Circle B Fishing Guide will put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it.
Picture this: you're out on the lake as the sun's coming up, the water's calm, and there's that buzz in the air that screams "fish on!" Our morning trips are timed perfectly to hit that sweet spot when the stripers are most active. We provide all the gear you need – rods, reels, tackle, and bait – so you can focus on the important stuff, like reeling in your next big catch. And get this – we'll even clean your fish for you at the end of the day. Talk about door-to-dock service!
Now, let's talk technique. We're not just out here randomly tossing lines – we're on a mission. Striper fishing is an art, and our guides are masters. We might start by trolling, using downriggers to get our lures right in the strike zone. Or, if the fish are surfacing, we'll switch it up and cast topwater lures for some explosive action. Feeling like a pro? We might hand you a big ol' swimbait and let you work the points and humps where the monsters hang out. No matter your skill level, we'll tailor the trip to make sure you're comfortable and catching fish.
Lake Texoma's been on fire lately, with anglers pulling in some real beauties. We're talking stripers in the 20-pound range that'll make your arms ache and your fishing buddies green with envy. But it's not just about size – the sheer numbers of fish we're seeing have been off the charts. Last week, one of our boats landed over 50 stripers in a single morning. Now that's what I call a hot bite!
Striped Bass: These are the kings of Lake Texoma, and for good reason. Stripers are hard-fighting, school-oriented fish that can grow to trophy sizes. In the spring and fall, they'll chase bait to the surface, creating "boils" that'll get your heart racing. We target these bad boys year-round, but the action really heats up from April through October. When a big striper hits, hang on tight – these fish will make you work for every inch of line!
Largemouth Bass: While stripers get all the glory, don't sleep on Texoma's largemouth population. These bucketmouths love to hang around structure, so we'll hit the points, coves, and submerged timber to find them. Spring is prime time for largemouth, when they move shallow to spawn. There's nothing quite like watching a big ol' largemouth crush a topwater lure at dawn.
Smallmouth Bass: Often overlooked, Texoma's smallmouth bass are a blast to catch. These bronze bombers fight like fish twice their size and love to hang out around rocky areas. We usually find them in slightly deeper water than their largemouth cousins. If you're looking for a mix of finesse and power fishing, smallmouth are your ticket. The fall bite for these guys can be absolutely insane!
Listen, I've been guiding on Texoma for years, and I still get excited every time I hit the water. There's just something special about this lake. Maybe it's the way the stripers school up and chase bait like they're auditioning for a nature documentary. Or maybe it's the chance at hooking into a true monster – we're talking 30-pound-plus fish that'll test your tackle and your skills. Whatever it is, Texoma has a way of getting under your skin. I've seen first-timers turn into regulars after just one trip. That's the magic of this place.
Alright, folks, here's the deal: if you're itching to get out on Lake Texoma and experience some world-class striper fishing, we've got you covered. Our 5-hour charter trips are perfect for getting a solid dose of action without taking up your whole day. Remember, we're limited to two anglers per trip, so you'll get plenty of personalized attention from your guide. Morning trips are where it's at for the best bite, but we can work with your schedule.
Don't forget, we handle all the gear and even clean your fish – all you need to bring is your favorite hat and a good attitude. Oh, and maybe a camera to prove to your buddies that you really did catch that monster striper. So what are you waiting for? Give us a call at Circle B Fishing Guide and let's get you out on the water. The fish are biting, and your next big catch is waiting. Just remember, once you experience Texoma fishing, you might find yourself planning your next trip before you even get off the boat. See you on the lake!
Largemouth bass are a blast to catch on Lake Texoma. These green-bodied bruisers typically run 2-5 pounds but can grow much bigger. You'll find them hanging around submerged trees, weed edges, and docks in 5-15 feet of water. Spring and fall are prime seasons when bass move shallow to feed. They put up a great fight, often leaping clear out of the water when hooked. Largemouth are prized for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. To entice a bite, try working a big plastic worm slowly along the bottom near cover. When you feel that telltale "tap-tap," set the hook hard! These bass have large, tough mouths, so don't be shy. Summer evenings are my favorite time to target big largemouth - that's when the giants tend to come out to hunt. Bring your camera, because you might just catch the fish of a lifetime.
Smallmouth bass are scrappy fighters that punch above their weight class. These bronze beauties usually run 1-3 pounds on Lake Texoma. You'll find them around rocky areas, points, and submerged humps in 10-20 feet of water. They love cooler temperatures, so spring and fall are ideal. Smallies are known for their acrobatic leaps and dogged determination - they just don't quit! Anglers prize them for their sporty fight and tasty white meat. To entice a bite, try dragging a tube jig or drop shot rig along the bottom. My local tip: focus on transition areas where rock meets sand. That's often where the bigger smallmouth hang out. Early mornings with a slight chop on the water can be smallmouth magic. Get ready for some of the most exciting pound-for-pound action on the lake!
Striped bass are the main attraction here on Lake Texoma. These hard-fighting fish average 5-15 pounds but can top 30. Look for stripers chasing shad in open water or near underwater points and ledges. They school up, so when you find one, you've often found a bunch. Spring and fall are prime, but summer can be great too if you fish deep. Stripers are known for their powerful runs - hang on tight when you hook one! They're also excellent eating. To up your odds, try trolling with live shad or casting big topwater lures at dawn. My inside tip: pay attention to diving birds. They'll often lead you right to feeding stripers. When you see gulls diving, get ready for some fast action!
