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 (Dec. 18)

GOOD. Water stained; 55 degrees; 0.73 feet above pool. Striper fishing is a little tougher with the full moon and warming conditions. Watch for gulls on cloudy days working the river channels and ledges. Fish are roaming deeper water in big schools, biting swimbaits and live shad. Bigger fish will move up on structure with the next cold front, settling in 8–12 feet of water on humps and ledges. Look for crappie on bridge pilings and structure in 15–20 feet of water with jigs and minnows. Bass can be caught with soft plastics on structure and brush in 8–15 feet of water. Bass will push up into coves and around docks, feeding on shad. Swim jigs and crankbaits will work off ledges and on humps. Catfishing is good. Drift cut gizzard shad and rough fish on deeper flats in 30–40 feet of water near river mouths in muddier water. Bigger fish will move up shallower as the water cools. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good transitioning to a deadstick bite and using Alabama rigs. Smaller fish are in 10-15 feet on structure with slabs, swimbaits or Alabama rigs. Bird action will lead the way to the deeper fish, but on bluebird days the birds are working at first and last light. The quality of fish is improving but we are still not seeing the big fish in bigger groups like what is typically for this time of year, but expect this to improve as the water cools.
