Ready to tangle with some hard-fighting stripers? Captain Jerry's got you covered on this 4-hour Lake Texoma fishing trip. You'll be cruising out of Pottsboro, TX on a sweet 22' Triton center console that's built for both comfort and serious fishing action. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, this trip's perfect for groups up to 6 (though the base price covers 2 lucky anglers). We're talking about chasing down Lake Texoma's prized striped bass - and trust me, these fish know how to put up a fight! All your gear, bait, and even fish cleaning is included, so just grab your favorite snacks and drinks, and let's hit the water!
Alright, let's break down what you're in for on this Lake Texoma striper adventure. We'll meet up bright and early in Pottsboro - trust me, the early bird gets the worm (or in this case, the striper). Captain Jerry knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you're in good hands. The Triton's got plenty of room to move around and fish comfortably. As we head out, keep your eyes peeled for birds diving - that's often a dead giveaway for where the stripers are chasing bait. We'll use a mix of techniques depending on where the fish are holding, from trolling to casting lures or live bait. And when those stripers hit, hold on tight! These bruisers can really make your drag sing.
On Lake Texoma, we've got a few tricks up our sleeves for hooking into those monster stripers. Depending on the time of year and where the fish are schooling, we might start off trolling with deep-diving crankbaits or umbrella rigs. This is a great way to cover water and find actively feeding fish. Once we locate a school, we'll often switch to casting lures like topwater plugs, jerkbaits, or soft plastics. If the bite's tough, live bait is our secret weapon - there's nothing a hungry striper can resist more than a lively shad or herring. Captain Jerry will show you the ropes on how to work each technique for maximum success. And don't worry if you're new to this - by the end of the trip, you'll be casting like a pro!

Striped Bass are the kings of Lake Texoma, and for good reason. These powerful fish can grow to impressive sizes, with 20-pounders not uncommon and the lake record tipping the scales at over 35 pounds! Stripers are known for their aggressive strikes and bulldog-like fights, often making sizzling runs that'll have your drag screaming. They're a schooling fish, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. Spring and fall are prime times to target these bad boys, but with Texoma's year-round population, there's always a chance at a trophy. What makes stripers so exciting is their unpredictability - one minute you're reeling in a 5-pounder, the next you could be locked in battle with a 25-pound beast that's determined to spool you. It's this mix of quantity and quality that keeps anglers coming back to Texoma year after year.
Let me tell you, there's something special about Lake Texoma that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the thrill of never knowing just how big your next striper might be. Or perhaps it's the stunning scenery - Texoma's got some gorgeous shorelines that'll have you reaching for your camera between casts. But I reckon a big part of it is the sense of community out here. Whether you're swapping fish stories at the marina or getting tips from seasoned locals, there's a real camaraderie among Texoma anglers. And let's not forget the bragging rights - landing a trophy striper is something you'll be talking about for years to come.

Striped bass are the main attraction here on Lake Texoma. These powerful fish typically run 5-20 pounds, with some monsters pushing 30+. You'll find them hanging around underwater points, humps, and along the dam. Spring and fall are prime, but we catch 'em year-round. Stripers put up an awesome fight - they'll really test your arms when they make those long runs. The meat is excellent too, with a mild, sweet flavor perfect for grilling. To land a big one, we often troll with live bait like gizzard shad. But here's a local tip: on calm summer mornings, try topwater lures around schools of surfacing stripers. That explosive strike is unforgettable. Whether you're after a trophy or just want consistent action, Lake Texoma's striped bass fishery is hard to beat.
