Trip Overview

Picture this: You're cruising on a spacious 24' Blazer Bay, the sun's warming up, and Lake Texoma's fish are calling your name. This isn't your average fishing charter - it's a full-on family adventure. Capt. Dylan's designed this trip to give everyone a taste of two popular fishing methods. You'll start by setting out juglines for channel cats, then switch gears to chase striped bass with rods and reels. It's the best of both worlds, and a great way to keep things interesting for fidgety youngsters or seasoned anglers alike. With morning and afternoon slots available, you can pick the time that works best for your crew. And don't worry about bringing a thing - all the gear's provided, so you can focus on making memories and maybe even setting a new personal best.

Rods, Reels, and Juglines

Alright, let's break down the fishing action you're in for. First up, jugline fishing - it's like setting traps for catfish, and it's a hoot to check 'em. We'll bait up some lines, toss 'em out, and let those channel cats come to us. While those are soaking, we'll grab our rods and hit some striper hotspots. Capt. Dylan knows all the sweet spots where the big ones hang out. He'll show you how to work a lure or bait to entice those hard-fighting stripers. And here's a pro tip: when a striper hits, hold on tight! These lake monsters can really pull. Don't be surprised if you hear some whooping and hollering when someone hooks up - it's all part of the Texoma experience. Between checking jugs and casting lines, you'll get a full taste of what Lake Texoma fishing is all about.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Lake Texoma's got a reputation for growing some serious fish, and on this trip, you're targeting two of the lake's heavyweights. Let's talk striped bass first - these bad boys are the main event for many anglers hitting Texoma. Stripers here can grow to over 20 pounds, and they fight like they're twice that size. They school up and chase bait, so when you find 'em, the action can be non-stop. Spring and fall are prime times, but Capt. Dylan can put you on fish year-round. These fish aren't just fun to catch; they're delicious too, so be sure to keep a few for the dinner table.

Now, onto the channel catfish - these whisker-faced bottom feeders are the perfect target for jugline fishing. They're active all day long, which makes them great for family trips. Channel cats in Texoma average 2-5 pounds, but don't be shocked if you pull up a 10-pounder. They love to hang out near structure and drop-offs, and Capt. Dylan knows just where to set those jugs to maximize your chances. The best part? Channel cats are some of the tastiest fish in the lake, so get ready for a fish fry if you have a good day!

What to Expect on the Water

When you step aboard Capt. Dylan's boat, you're in for a treat. This isn't some cramped little fishing skiff - we're talking about a 24-foot Blazer Bay that's decked out for serious fishing comfort. There's plenty of room for up to six people to spread out, cast, and reel in the big ones without getting tangled up in each other's lines. The boat's got all the latest electronics to help us find the fish, and there's even shade to duck under if the sun gets too intense.

As for the fishing itself, Capt. Dylan's got a knack for making it fun for everyone. If you've got little ones or first-timers, he'll take it nice and easy, showing them the ropes and celebrating every catch, no matter the size. For the more experienced anglers, he'll challenge you with some advanced techniques and put you on spots where the trophy fish lurk. And don't worry if you're somewhere in between - this trip is all about tailoring the experience to what you want. Whether that's non-stop action with smaller fish or holding out for that wall-hanger, Capt. Dylan's got you covered.
