Jim is a full time fishing guide and has an excellent track record when it comes to Texoma striper fishing. As the owner and operator of Advantage Guide Service, he has a vested interest in seeing that your guided fishing trip on Lake Texoma is memorable so you'll want to come back to fish with him again and again.

"The Memory Catcher" is a custom built 24' deck boat designed with your safety and comfort in mind. The level deck and wide access gate makes the craft wheelchair accessible. The 300hp outboard motor is quiet and puts you on the fish in no time. There is even a bathroom onboard so there's no need to run to shore for a "pit stop".

Lake Texoma has become famous for it's huge quantities of striped bass better known as "stripers". The lake is unique as it's one of the few in the US where stripers reproduce. The stripers travel upstream in the rivers and spawn yearly to give us a new crop year after year. The lake is also home for huge schools of shad, stripers' main food source, and has become well known for it's monster catfish which can be caught on jug line during the cooler months. Advantage Guide Service specializes in catching both striper and catfishing.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Oct. 16)

GOOD. Water stained; 75 degrees; 1.87 feet below pool. Striper fishing is great on live shad in 20-45 feet of water in ditches and along the river ledges. Look for fish to move up shallow with the cold weather. Swim baits and topwaters work well in the backs of coves and creeks during early morning and late evening. Crappie remain tough, sticking to brush and structure in 12-18 feet of water. Use electronics to target active fish at the bottom of brush piles, with jigs being effective. Catfishing is still good, with blue catfish biting on cut shad in 30-50 feet of water. Eaters are found on the main lake ledges and humps, and start looking for bigger fish west of the islands and north of the railroad bridge, in 40-50 feet of water on deep flats. Bass fishing remains slow, however, as water temperatures cool, bass are moving up. Plastics are effective early in 3-8 feet of water off main lake points, and later in the backs of coves during midday as the water warms and shad move up. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass bite is starting to improve with some topwater activity in shallow water in the morning. Blind cast into the shallows. Some days there is some bird action, as the weather cools this will pick up. When the topwater bite ends cast swimbaits into the shallows for box fish, then switch to slabs later in the morning. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
