Lake Texoma Fishing Reports
Striper fishing on Lake Texoma is really good this week. Lots of good fat box fish and a few overs. Should stay good at least till new years.
Thank so much Steve. We had a blast. Choose Capt Steve for a great day on the lake and a boat load of fish. Highly recommend.
Fishing was great on Texoma this morning. Kept our limit and released a bunch more. Cooler weather on the way and its gonna be great fishing this fall. Call or better yet text me for available dates. Capt. Steve 940-841-0910
We had a great summer on Texoma this year but summer keeps dragging on. I'm ready for some fall weather and if the forecast is correct we should finally see some cooler weather next week . Fishing is still very good despite the heat but the cooler weather will improve the fishing and make it even better. I have been trolling A-rigs but have heard of fish being caught on slabs,swim baits, top waters, and live shad. Fish have been schooling up on the surface in just about every depth of water but primarily on the flats in 20-40 foot. The cold fronts will bring gulls from up north so schooling fish will be easier to locate. Fishing should be excellent and very consistent from now until it gets very cold in January or February. We might hit a little bump in the road when the lake turns over in a few weeks but it will be short lived. Bigger fish will get more active with the cooler weather. Boat traffic has made the weekend fishing tougher this summer but should ease up some with hunting season getting started. Fall is a great time to fish Lake Texoma so call or text me for available dates. Capt. Steve 940-841-0910
Crazy day on Texoma today. Started out with this cool green frog on one of my outboards. Fishing was good and we caught a solid limit of striper. Highlight of the morning was when this 100+ lb gator gar decided he wanted to eat one of our trolling rigs. Roped him and took a few pics then released. Got back to the boathouse and my green frog was still on board. It's gonna be a great fall for fishing on Texoma.
That’s awesome and a cute little frog
Dang that’s a big gator gar. I think he wanted your frog 🐸
as always Capt Steve Barnes Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Guide is putting his folks on the nice fish
Frogs like fish’n too. Rib-it!! 🐸🎣
Cleaned up and serviced, ready for fall striper fishing on Lake Texoma. Weekend dates are booking up fast but weekdays are better fishing. Call or preferably text me for available dates. Capt. Steve 940-841-0910
Is that an Americat?
Day one fishing with Dale, Chris, and Waldo.
What kinda speed were you able to make in the 3’ seas today in that twin vee?
Day 2 fishing with, Dale ,Chris, and Waldo.
Good work Capt Steve Barnes
Finally got out after the storms. Strange day, lots of sharks in bait balls but they were hard to catch, seems like they only wanted the tiny minnows in the bait balls, only caught one big blacktip . Bite got good for a little bit and we caught snapper,kings , one Dorado, and a giant stingrays.
Captain, that looks like a mighty fine day of fishing.
Snapper is good eatin!
Any of the snapper have tags?
Still no tarpon today but lots of nearshore action. Kings, ling,bonita, barracuda,and lots of sharks. Big sharks !!! Tough to get pics fishing alone but I have a crew tomorrow so should have some pics tomorrow.
Didn't find any Tarpon today. Caught this bull red and could have caught a bunch of big blacktip sharks by some shrimp boats but I didn't want any part of that. Boat ran good.
Did you ever upgrade your boat? You use to talk about it.
Made it to Port O'Connor today. Trolling motor on bow and transom of my 31 foot work great but needed a little more run time. Added 3 more batteries this afternoon. It was so hot in my boat storage I'm pretty sure I could have cooked a pizza so it's not my prettiest work. Gonna test it out tomorrow
Looks good.
When are you going to be booking tarpon trips?
Ive fished down there. Good spot..
Fishing was great again today. Time to switch gears and hit the saltwater next week.
There's my guys! Thanks so much Capt. Steve, they had a great time! And are ready to go again.
Another great trip on Texoma this morning despite heavy boat traffic. Kept a limit of good eating fish and released a few bigger fish and a lot more small ones.
Nice catch
Packing up getting ready to roll south !!!
good luck and safe travels God bless
Be safe!
Fair seas and winds at your back Cap'n.
What Tim Hartley said. Let us know when you get back and we will come fish with you
Absolute slaughter this morning. Kept our limit and released about 20 more by 9 AM. Stupid fish, don't they know it's a hundred degrees every day and they should be slowing down.
Last week on Texoma and headed to Port O'Connor next week for some saltwater action. Fishing has improved on Texoma this week so maybe go out with a bang. I have a few trips booked in Port O'Connor but I need a few more if any of you want a shot at catching tarpon,sharks,jacks,bull reds....
one of the best and still going strong. Capt Steve Barnes Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Guide

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.
I’ll match our catch! Capt Steve gets the job done!!
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
Waters a lil more calm in these pics than when we went.
What do you charge for a tarpon trip?
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.
Ron LaRue
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
