Advantage Guide Service on Lake Texoma





With over 15 years of experience providing fishing charters, Jim McDonald has a vast knowledge of Lake Texoma fishing. He is a licensed US Coast Guard Captain and holds guide licenses in both Texas and Oklahoma.

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 (Apr. 16)

FAIR. Water stained; 62 degrees; 1.34 feet below pool. Striper fishing is hit-and-miss with the weather and winds. Watch for the gusts at the end of this week and plan your trip accordingly. Texoma gets big swells and there are several marinas to launch from on the southern edge of the lake especially as the stripers move up the Red River and Washita River with inflow. Live bait on flats and ledges in 30-45 feet of water is producing limits of box fish. Look for bigger fish to be shallow near the rivers on points and humps. Crappie are scattered in the creeks as they spawn and wrap up spawning. A few fish being caught around docks and brush in 8-12 feet of water on jigs. Look at creeks and shallow water with the warm days and rain! Bass fishing will improve with the stained water and rise in lake levels. Fish will be near rocks and gravel as the shad spawn is kicking off, as well as on docks early in the mornings. Starting to see blue catfish, channel catfish, and flathead catfish showing up. Stumps and brush on points hold flathead this time of year, blue catfish are in deeper water suspended as the shad move higher in the water column. Channels will be along the rocks on punch baits and prepared baits. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are hit-and-miss under the birds. Nice clear days are tougher, but fish are actively feeding on cloudy days with wind. Cast swimbaits to structure allowing the lure to sink then slowly roll back to the boat. Shad are spawning along the banks indicating a topwater bite will begin soon. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
