Fishing has been a lifelong passion of mine. I began guiding on Lake Texoma back in 1989, bringing over three decades of hands-on experience in both fishing and guiding on these waters. I also craft and sell my own custom jig heads and swim baits specifically designed for Lake Texoma fishing. Our Dead Stick Jig heads are specially made and have a proven track record for catching Stripers. If you’re looking for an enjoyable day filled with fishing, give us a chance. It’s a fun, educational experience that’s sure to meet your expectations! Guests often describe it as the highlight of their vacation. A fantastic day with a knowledgeable guide – highly recommended. Five stars all around! An amazing trip that many are eager to book again.

Embark on an unforgettable fishing adventure chasing Striped Bass with Captain Dirk on the iconic Lake Texoma!
From early spring through late fall, Lake Texoma bursts with exciting gamefish action. Whether you're targeting Striped Bass, Sand Bass, Smallmouth Bass, or hefty Catfish, this lake offers plenty of surprises and an ever-changing fishing experience. This trip includes a variety of techniques to keep things dynamic—you'll troll, bottom fish, drift, and jig based on the activity and bite patterns. Whether you prefer light or heavy tackle, you’ll be fully prepared for whatever the fish decide to do that day.
Captain Dirk conducts these trips aboard his well-equipped 24-foot Blazer Bay, perfect for groups of up to five anglers. The boat boasts advanced features like GPS, a top-notch fish finder, a 45-gallon live bait tank, wireless trolling motor, and downriggers—all designed to help you locate fish and stay hooked up longer. Live bait is provided on every trip and, with 24-hour notice, it will be prepped and waiting at the dock. Rods, reels, tackle, and lures are included, and after your trip, Captain Dirk will clean and bag your catch, preparing the fillets so they’re ready to cook straight from the freezer.
If you’re considering bringing kids along, Captain Dirk warmly welcomes anglers of all ages. Kid-sized life jackets are available upon request to ensure their safety. Make sure to pack snacks and drinks to keep everyone energized throughout the day. Don’t forget essentials such as sunscreen (non-spray only), sunglasses, and rain gear—especially handy on cooler mornings or if the weather changes. Dressing in layers is recommended to stay comfortable when temperatures drop.
Before setting out, everyone in your party must have a valid Lake Texoma fishing license, which can be obtained online or with Captain Dirk’s assistance. Be aware that some species may have seasonal restrictions or require special tags, so it’s wise to verify these details ahead of time.
Whether you’re an experienced angler or looking for a fun family outing, this Lake Texoma trip with Captain Dirk offers something for everyone. From explosive topwater strikes to steady trolling action, it promises a genuine and memorable day on the water.
