What do you catch Striper with?
Striper Express is one of the few artificial lures only charter service on Lake Texoma. We take the worry out of your Striper fishing trip on Texoma. Just show up on time and our boats will have all the rods, reels and Striper Fishing Lures you will need for a fun-filled day on Lake Texoma! We have been making clients smile since 1983.
Where can I Striper fish in Lake Texoma?
Striper Express never puts up our fleet of boats. We offer Striper fishing excitement 365 days of the year. Yes, we take some holidays off, but my point is Lake Texoma offers up great Striper fishing year-round. We catch trophy Striper from the Dam at Eisenhower, along Burns Run, to Table Top and Platter Flats. Once again don’t worry, we will have the Striper located for your trip. The location depends on the time of year.
How do I plan my charter trip on lake texoma?
You can inquire about your date by submitting a form, or calling us. With our twelve boat fleet, we can accommodate most large group fishing charters. If you choose to go fishing on a weekend, we recommend you begin planning well in advance. Planning a visit during the Topwater Bite? You may already be too late. I’m serious, many of our clients book a year in advance. Weekdays are more flexible for availability at any time of year, especially for large group outings.
