Lake Texoma Fishing Reports
Last two days has been pretty good. Big fish are getting a little skinny and box fish are small but I will take it for dog days of summer fishing.
Book a trip now and hand feed my pets at the dock.
Do it! It is great! My family just did & we had a riot! Caught our limit!!
Striper or cats?
We will see you 7/27!! Hopefully there are still some biggin’s with our name on them! Cody Thornburg Paul Moran

We are still catching them. Have a few weekdays open. This morning was big fish on bait and little fish schooling on lures.
Tarpon fishing out of Port O'Connor, Tx is coming soon. I will be striper fishing on Texoma till mid August then headed to Port O'Connor for mid August thru September. My primary focus will be tarpon fishing but we might catch a few toothy critters if someone just needs to pull on something big. Tarpon are one of my favorites to catch because of their size , acrobatics, and difficulty hooking and landing these prehistoric beasts. Probably finish up with a week of redfish at the jetty late September early October. Let me know if your interested in a Saltwater adventure. Capt. Steve 940-841-0910
What do you charge for a tarpon trip?
Waters a lil more calm in these pics than when we went.
Not sure what is more fun. Tagging a tarpon or boosting double blacks in arkansas?
Steve what’s your prices

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
Business and fishing have been great. Have a few open dates coming up so figured I better take some time and post a few pics. Cant believe it's already mid June. Text me if you want in on the action. Capt. Steve 940-841-0910.

This week was a blur. Busy ,busy, busy. Hands are sore from catching and releasing stupid numbers of big fish.
Get down
Cold and windy this morning. Big fish bite was all you wanted. We hammered the big ones releasing more overs then I could keep count of and went in early.
Round 2 was as good as it gets. Released a rediculous number of big fish. Fishing like this does not last forever. Better get here soon.

Get down
Round 1 was awesome with limit plus released a bunch of overs. Getting ready for round 2.
We had a great time! Thanks! Brenda Reeves Bills John Bills Jeff Moore
Fishing just keeps getting better. Big fish are showing up coming back from spawn. Open tomorrow and Wednesday morning if you want to go catching .
Morning trip was a slam dunk. Gonna go again right after lunch. They are holding up a 6'10"
Helped Dale with a big group this morning and everyone caught limits. Round 2 was just as good as the morning. Lake is on the rise. Better come get them while the getting is good.
We had a great time! Can’t wait to come back!
Fishing was just stupid this morning. I guess they new storms were coming and really went on a feed. We caught and released a ton of overs and kept our limit. Days are booking up fast so better get booked if you want a trip this spring.
Yesterday morning and this morning were a slam dunk. Gonna see what the afternoon bite is like later.
Fishing is as good as it gets. Open tomorrow afternoon April 26, Monday 29th, and Tuesday May 1 next week.
Limits every day and that should be the norm for a couple months.
Time to book a trip then, Anthony, Donavon, Nathaniel, Rebekah
Kyler and Jason
Well we had a good run with trolling and casting swimbaits this spring but after the beating we took this morning, 15 fish, it looks like it's time for me to make the switch to live bait. It worked out this afternoon for my group of 3. They limited out and released a bunch of overs up to 12 lbs. May and June are gonna be great.
Your cast net skills I've seen. Fish on....
Awesome morning. Lots of big fish to 14 lbs. Kept our limit of over 20" and released a bunch more. I'm open tomorrow, Tuesday, and Wednesday .
Friday fishing was unbelievable. Released a stupid amount of big fish with non stop action. Morning was great and afternoon was even better.
A big “thank you” Captain Steve! We had an amazing time yesterday with you on the lake. Already looking at dates in May for a return trip with you!
Fishing was on fire today. Catch and released a bunch of big ones. Schedule is getting full so call or text today. Capt. Steve 940-841-0910

Sqatch!!
Cold start this morning. Fishing was good. Not many box fish but kept our limit of overs and released a bunch more.
Size dropped off a little but numbers are increasing as it warms up. It's gonna be a great year.
Awesome morning today. We released a stupid amount of big fish today. It's gonna be a great year on Texoma so better get your group booked soon.
Felicia Gibson
Nice looks like you're having fun
Steve Faris Joe Landers y’all ready?
as usual Capt. Steve Capt Steve Barnes Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Guide is putting folks on the big fish
What a week. Fished the last 6 days, 4 were doubles, thats morning group and afternoon group. Caught good numbers of big fish every trip. Have a few open spots this coming week including Saturday morning.
looking forward to seeing you Friday Capt
Lake Texoma striper fishing has really come alive this week with the arrival of spring. Big striper are on a feed getting ready to make their annual spring spawning run up the Washita and Red rivers. As the shallow waters warm fish move up out of the river channel to feed on shad. The fish are on the move so anglers need to be persistent and stay on the move looking for active fish. My bait of choice for early spring is a 5" swim bait on a 1oz jig head. Trolling is also effective this time of year and on days when my customers can't cast well we troll. The last few days the big striper have been on a tear and we have been releasing many over 20" fish on recent trips. Remember limit on Lake Texoma striper is 10 fish per person but only 2 of those 10 can be 20 inches or longer. The good box fish will turn on as it warms up a little more but for now we will enjoy catching lots of big Texoma stripers
You may need a bigger boat
Wind was brutal today. Let the biggest one go and kept the rest. We need some better weather.
I’ve got to get up there soon and fish with you
Forgot to post these a few days ago. We need some more spring weather. I'm tired of winter and I think the fish are too.
First day back out after the artic front. Fish I was on last week moved but we eventually found them stacked up filled the box with a 5 man limit and released a few more. Gonna try to beat the wind tomorrow.
Great trip. Thanks for getting us on fish.
This was a awesome morning on the river a few years ago.

Sorry I'm missing the Mar. 9 charter. Send pics of what I missed. 🙁
Real nice!
Love at first bite. Fall in love with this recipe for Striped Bass with Cherry Tomato Salad and Squash Jam from @SaltwaterSportsman. Read the recipe on our Dockline Blog. bit.ly/2XlKocS #CookYourCatch #GoBoldly
You know its about spring when the red birds start singing their song. March is big fish month on Texoma. Big fat prespawn fish will move up out of the deep water to feed before making their annual run up the river. February fishing is ok but I love the springtime so I spend some of my time in February for boat maintenance and preparation for the upcoming season. I can't believe its Valentine's day already. Spring dates are booking up fast and before you know it I will be out on Texoma chasing big striper every day. My bait of choice in the spring time is a 5" swim bait on a 1oz jighead. I will fish with any color as long as it is glow or chartreuse. On days when I have experienced anglers we will cast them but when my crew is lacking casting skills we troll them on spreader rigs. Most days you need to concentrate on shallow structure in 10 - 25 foot of water. I describe structure as any difference in water depth like points and humps or a difference in bottom composition from the normal like gravel,rock,timber, and man made structures. While fishing structure always keep your eye open for working birds as that can happen anywhere at anytime in the spring. It's about to get serious up here on Texoma and I'm ready.
Bishop Mayes. Why not?
Be there Saturday. Can’t wait to meet ya and catch some fish!!
March is coming up quick. Big prespawn striper will go on a little feed before they head upriver to spawn. Time to get booked if you want a shot at the biggest fish of the year. Call or text me to reserve your day. Capt. Steve 940-841-0910

Nice day to be on the lake. Got 44 keepers and released a bunch of overs. Not as fast a bite as yesterday but yesterday was just one of those off the chart days.
