"Dirk is a great guide. Catching Stripers on lures that he made himself just adds to the excitement! Every time Dirk stopped the boat, there were fish under us. This man knows Lake Texoma! What a great trip!" - Jeremy
Alright, let's talk fish. On this trip, we're mainly after two of Lake Texoma's heavyweights: striped bass and blue catfish.
Striped bass, or "stripers" as we call 'em, are the rockstars of the lake. These bad boys can grow up to 20-30 pounds and put up a fight that'll make your arms sore (in the best way possible). They're most active in the cooler months, but don't worry - we know how to find them year-round. In the afternoon, you might catch them chasing shad near the surface, which makes for some exciting topwater action. There's nothing quite like seeing a big striper explode on your lure!
Now, blue catfish - these are the gentle giants of Lake Texoma. Don't let their whiskers fool you; these fish can grow to monster sizes. We're talking potential for 50+ pounders! They tend to hang out near the bottom, so we'll be using different techniques to target them. Blues are active year-round, but they really turn on in the warmer months. The afternoon can be prime time for these big boys, as they often feed more actively as the day progresses.
Alright, folks, let's wrap this up. If you're looking for a fishing trip that combines convenience with serious action, our Private Lake Fishing Trip - PM is your ticket to an awesome afternoon on Lake Texoma. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, we've got you covered with top-notch gear, expert guidance, and some of the best fishing spots on the lake. Don't let another day slip by without getting in on this action. Give us a call or hit that "Book Now" button - your next big catch is waiting!

Striped Bass, or "stripers" as we call 'em, are a favorite target here on the lake. These powerful fish typically run 20-40 pounds, with some real giants pushing 70. Look for them around structure – they love hanging near drop-offs, sandbars, and submerged reefs. Stripers are most active at dawn and dusk, especially in cooler water. They're structure-oriented, so we'll focus on areas with good cover and moving water. Fall's an awesome time to fish for them, as they fatten up for winter. Anglers love stripers for their hard-fighting nature and excellent taste. When one of these fish hits, you'll know it – they pull like a freight train! Plus, there's nothing quite like the thrill of seeing a big striper bust through a school of bait on the surface. Here's a tip: use live bait like herring or shad if you can. Stripers are picky eaters, and live bait often outperforms artificial lures. Cast near structure and let the bait do the work. When you feel that telltale thump, hold on tight – you're in for a real battle with one of the lake's top predators.
Blue Catfish are monsters of the lake, typically ranging from 25-46 inches and weighing up to 80 pounds. They're opportunistic feeders, gulping down anything from crawfish to small fish. You'll find them lurking in deep, muddy holes near tidal creeks. These cats love structure, so target areas with submerged logs or rocky ledges. Summer's prime time for Blue Cats, especially at night when they're most active. Anglers love 'em for their sheer size and the fight they put up – it's like pulling in a submarine! Plus, they make for some tasty eating if you catch the right size. Here's a local trick: use fresh-cut bait and let it sink to the bottom. The scent trail will draw them in. Once you feel a nibble, give it a moment before setting the hook. These cats can be crafty, so patience pays off. And don't forget sturdy gloves – Blue Cats are slippery and have some sharp fins. Whether you're after a trophy fish or just want a good tussle, Blue Catfish deliver an exciting challenge on our afternoon trips.
