Start with a Google search and be prepared for plenty of fishing guide options. You can search for “Lake Texoma Fishing Guides” or “Lake Texoma Fishing Guides” and get all the listings you need. Be sure to book 30-60 days in advance. Lake Texoma is the Striper Capital of the World and guides are booked throughout the year. If you are booking a multi-day trip, make sure your Lake Texoma fishing guide understands this. Now you are tasked with finding a quality Texoma fishing guide. You will find a lot of Google ads at the top and bottom of the page. Most Texoma guides pay for ads on Google!
What does the website look like?
Eight out of ten Google searches are done on a tablet or smartphone. If the website does not fit your smartphone and the text and images are small, continue with the next guide. Does the website have a fishing report? Are the fishing reports up to date? If you find a fishing report that is two years old and the site only has two reports, skip to the next guide. Does the Texoma Fishing Guide website have links to social media? If the answer is no, find another candidate. If there are links to social media, check them out. If you don’t find many posts on Facebook, look for another guide. Take the time to read the guide’s website home page! Is the content readable or does it sound jumbled and confusing? Rotating content is very common on a guide website, and ranking on Google is easier with mass-produced rotated content.

Customize your Striper trip to Lake Texoma
Once you get a list of 10 potential Texoma fishing guides, take out your smartphone and start texting. Make sure your potential guide knows the following:
1) Dates you want to fish
2) How many fishermen are there in your group?
3) The fishing skills of your groups
4) Any special needs (children, disabilities)
If you send this information by email, it will take 2-3 days for a response to be received; a text message will receive a quick reply. Some guides will be reserved, so be sure to reserve 60 days in advance. If you have a group of artificial lure anglers, don’t book a live bait trip. If you have neophyte anglers who simply want to experience Texoma, a live bait trip might be for the best. If you have children, make sure your guide catches them. Most Texoma Guides fish for children, but it is best to find out in a text message and not at the marina dock.
Lake Texoma, the Striper Capital of the World
Texoma is one of the few fisheries in the US where Striper breeds naturally. The Red River collects salt near Wichita Falls and carries it to Lake Texoma. The high salt content and moving river water allow Striper to breed each spring. Texas and Oklahoma also store Striper in Lake Texoma every year! Texoma doubles Striper every year and it’s a great fishery! If you are looking for memories of a lifetime, reserve your Texoma Striper Tip today!
