Weekend Striper Charter Lake Texoma Adventures

Weekend Striper Fishing on Lake Texoma

If you've been looking for a top-rated striper fishing adventure that fits perfectly into your weekend plans, you've found it right here on Lake Texoma. Our half-day charters run every Saturday and Sunday, giving you two solid departure times to choose from - an early 6:00 AM start for those who love the peaceful morning bite, or a 2:30 PM launch if you prefer to sleep in and fish the afternoon action. Lake Texoma's north side waters, especially around the Red River and Denison Dam area, hold some of the best striped bass fishing you'll find anywhere in the region. We're talking about four hours of focused fishing time aboard a well-equipped 25-foot Shearwater center console, complete with everything you need to make this a memorable day on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

Your day starts when you meet your guide at the launch, where you'll board our spacious 25-foot Shearwater center console - a boat that's built for both comfort and serious fishing. The modern Lowrance electronics package gives us a huge advantage in locating schools of stripers, and you'll quickly see why this setup is so effective on Texoma's vast waters. We focus our efforts on the north side of the lake, working prime areas around the Red River channel and near Denison Dam where stripers love to congregate. The beauty of these weekend trips is that they're designed for everyone - whether you're a seasoned angler who knows how to work a school of fish or someone who's never held a fishing rod before. Our rate covers up to three passengers comfortably, though we can take up to six if your group needs the extra space. For larger corporate outings or church groups, we can arrange additional boats to handle groups of up to 48 people, making it perfect for team building or group events.

Gear & Fishing Techniques

We've got you completely covered when it comes to equipment - high-end rods and reels that can handle Texoma's powerful stripers, plus all the live bait and fuel you'll need for the trip. Live bait is often the key to success here, especially when we're working schools of feeding fish. Depending on conditions and what the fish are doing, we might be casting to surface-feeding stripers, working deeper structure with downlines, or even trolling to cover water and locate active schools. The Lowrance electronics help us stay on top of the fish, showing us exactly where they're holding and how they're moving. After we've had our fun on the water, your guide takes care of all the messy work - full fish cleaning and bagging so you can head home with a cooler full of fresh fillets ready for the dinner table. Just remember to bring your fishing license, as Texas Parks and Wildlife requires all anglers to be properly licensed.

Top Catches This Season

Lake Texoma's striped bass population is what makes this place truly special, and these fish are the main reason anglers travel from all over Texas and Oklahoma to fish these waters. Stripers here typically run anywhere from 2 to 20 pounds, with plenty of fish in that sweet spot between 4 and 8 pounds that fight like crazy and make excellent table fare. These fish are most active during the cooler parts of the day, which is why our morning departures at 6:00 AM can be absolutely phenomenal - you'll often find stripers feeding aggressively on the surface as baitfish schools get pushed up from the depths. The afternoon trips starting at 2:30 PM can be equally productive, especially as the day cools down and fish begin their evening feeding patterns. What makes stripers so exciting to catch is their raw power and the way they fight - when you hook into a good one, it'll make several strong runs and really test your tackle. They're also schooling fish, so when you find one, there are usually plenty more around. The area around Denison Dam creates perfect current and structure that stripers love, concentrating baitfish and creating those feeding opportunities that make for fast action and full coolers.

Time to Book Your Spot

These weekend striper trips offer everything you need for a world-class fishing experience without the hassle of planning and preparing on your own.
