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 (Jan. 15)

GOOD. Water stained; 53 degrees; 0.35 feet above pool. Striper fishing is great with the drop in water temperatures. Lures have really started producing, deadsticking flukes along river channels and deep flats in 40-60 feet of water or swimbaits on structure, ledges and humps in 20-35 feet of water. Slow down your approach and stick with fish if you’re getting bit and marking them as they turn on longer into a drift. Trophy fish are showing up and all the fish are healthy! Catfishing remains tough with the drop in water temps. Target big blues moving up in creeks and near the rivers with whole gizzard shad anchored up in 5-15 feet of water. Drift flats near the river channel in 30-50 feet of water. Crappie are holding deep in 20-30 feet of water on humps and ledges with brush and structure. Jigs with a tipped minnow fishing vertically in the brush. Electronics make it easier to spot fish but it doesn’t make them eat! Bass fishing slowed with the water temps dropping but look for fish to move up in coves and near docks on sunny days. Shaky head or a swim jig on drop-offs near stumps in 8-15 feet of water. Look for brush and stumps fish that will be holding close to Texas rigged plastics as well. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass continue to be good with Alabama rigs or sassy shad on structure in 15-25 feet of water. When this bite ends, the bigger fish are being caught under the birds in deeper water deadsticking or with Alabama rigs. This bite is typically around the last hour of sunlight. The deadsticking bite is really picking up. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
