2017 as a striper guide on Lake Texoma, was amazing. The two impressive things that went on was each day was a lot of fun, catching quality fish, and seeing that the population of the fish, had really increased. I mainly fished alone, but had several multiple boat trips, using competent guides to assist me. I maintain a comfortable customer base, increasing with new customers each year. I have been guiding for 23 years, and use every method to catch a limit of fish, every trip. My 1999 Triton has been a great boat, and stood up against the weather, waves, and use, and I maintain it, for each fishing trip. I keep my boat at a marina, where it is on a lift, ready to go, at any time or occasion. My slip has all the space for cleaning fish, and a place to rest, while I clean the fish. I clean the fish the way, I would want to eat it. I anticipate 2018 will be a year of bigger fish, averaging in the neighborhood of between 2-20 lb fish, and since it is only two fish over 20 inches, per person,some catch and release, also. My best picture, among many, was a catch of a 14 pound fish, flat and shiny, although most of the trips were much the same. Give me a call and lets have fun, and take home some good eating striper. www.striperfish.com.
