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 (Nov. 13)

GOOD. Water stained; 69 degrees; 0.28 feet below pool. Striper fishing is great on live bait throughout the day, especially the afternoon bite as the moon becomes brighter each night. Topwaters are effective early along gravel shorelines near main lake points for bigger fish, both early and late. On deep flats use live bait in 35-45 feet of water. We are seeing fish schooling well under the boats, eagerly eating live bait, so limits are possible every trip. Crappie fishing is picking up. Use jigs and small shad under dock floats and along the tops of brush piles in 6-12 feet of water. Electronics help locate active fish suspended throughout the brush. Catfishing is also improving with the inflow of water. Start looking at deeper flats near the river inlets, in 25-40 feet of water. Drift with cut shad or whole gizzard shad for bigger fish. Good numbers are still found on cut shad and prepared baits in 35-55 feet of water near river channels on the main lake points. Bass fishing will continue to improve as temperatures drop and water levels rise. Look for bass to be more active, chasing baits and making more mistakes. Try Alabama rigs with flukes and hard baits off the banks towards the middle of shallow coves and near docks in 5-12 feet of water. Use electronics to locate brush and structure bait will be holding on with bigger bass roaming the ledges. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are excellent on topwaters early in the day. Cooler weather has improved the bite will daily limits possible. Birds will lead the way to feeding striped bass then cast slabs beneath.
