Why Families Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing that brings families together, and Captain Johnny's trips hit that sweet spot. Parents love watching their kids' faces light up with each catch, while the little ones soak up every bit of fishing wisdom. It's not just about the fish - it's those moments of laughter when someone almost falls overboard trying to net a fish, or the high-fives all around when someone lands a big one. Many families make this an annual tradition, marking their kids' growth by the size of the fish they can reel in each year. And let's be honest, there's nothing quite like the peace and quiet of being out on the water - a rare treat for busy families these days.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped bass are the stars of the show on Lake Texoma, and for good reason. These hard-fighting fish are like underwater freight trains - when they hit your line, you'll know it! Stripers in Lake Texoma can grow to impressive sizes, with some lunkers topping 20 pounds or more. They're known for their strong runs and acrobatic jumps, making them a thrill to catch for anglers of all ages. Spring and fall are prime times for striper fishing, but Captain Johnny knows how to find them year-round. These fish often school up, so when you find one, you've likely found a whole bunch. That means non-stop action that'll keep the whole family engaged.

While stripers are the main attraction, don't be surprised if you hook into some other Lake Texoma residents. Smallmouth bass love the rocky areas of the lake and put up a scrappy fight on light tackle. They might not grow as big as stripers, but pound for pound, they're some of the feistiest fish in the lake. And if you're lucky, you might even land a blue catfish. These whisker-faced giants can grow to massive sizes in Lake Texoma, providing an epic battle that'll have everyone on board cheering.

Top Catches This Season

Lake Texoma's been on fire lately, with some monster stripers coming to the boat. Just last week, a family on Captain Johnny's trip landed a 25-pounder that had dad's arms shaking by the time it was in the net. The lake's also been producing good numbers of "eater-sized" stripers in the 3-5 pound range - perfect for a family fish fry if you decide to keep a few. Captain Johnny's been finding success trolling with live shad near underwater humps and along the old river channel. When the fish are really biting, he'll switch to topwater lures, creating explosive strikes that'll have everyone jumping with excitement.
