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. 9)

FAIR. Water stained; 60 degrees; 2.12 feet below pool. Striper fishing is about to break loose on live bait as we get closer to the shad spawn and the water temps hitting 60. Plenty of fish being caught on flats and ledges in 25-45 feet of water, bigger fish will hopefully finish their spawn this weekend with the full moon. Find dirty warmer water near the ends of the lake and look at points in shallow water for spawning fish. Look for crappie in the creeks with inflow and watch the rising water temps this week. Fish will be on shallow flats and points near spawning areas, jigs and minnows are productive. Dark colors in muddy water, light colors near docks and structure in clear water. Catfishing is up and down with the weather and lake levels. Fish flats off of the river channels in 25-45 feet of water with whole shad or rough fish. Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing is picking up. Look for brush and structure near docks and marinas, fish will be staged up and reactive to hard baits or plastics. Water temperatures will climb quickly this week as we get near the full moon and warmer days. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. The lake is on the rise, so navigate with caution watching for floating debris. Striped bass are good with swimbaits on structure in 3-25 feet of water. When birds are active, cast swimbaits into the schooling stripers beneath in 30-70 feet of water. The slab bite will start soon. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
