We’re Cody and Rae, a husband-and-wife team who have been together since high school and have spent years fishing Lake Texoma. After finally making Texoma our second home, we dove headfirst into guiding and sharing the lake we love with others. Join us on Lake Texoma, the stiper capital of the world and experience striper fishing like never before!

We specialize in smaller groups and a more personal, educational experience. Our goal isn’t just to send you home with a limit of fish—although Cody consistently stays on the striper—it’s to teach you about the fishery, the techniques, and the “why” behind what we’re doing. Beginner or experienced, young or old, we accommodate all anglers!

About Your Trip

Your Lake Texoma trip is all about getting on the water, finding the fish, and experiencing striper fishing the way we do it ourselves. Cody spends countless hours on Texoma staying on the changing patterns, so when you step aboard, we already have a game plan. Depending on the season and conditions, we’ll use live bait, artificial lures, or a combination of techniques to target Lake Texoma’s famous striped bass.

We intentionally focus on smaller groups so your trip feels personal and hands-on. We love catching limits as much as anyone, but we don’t believe the experience should end there. We’ll show you what we’re seeing on the electronics, explain why we’re fishing a particular area or technique, and help you learn along the way. Whether you’re an experienced angler or holding a fishing rod for the first time, we’ll tailor the trip to your group.

Most importantly, this isn’t a “sit down and reel when we tell you” kind of trip. You’re coming fishing with us. Expect plenty of laughs, hands-on learning, and a genuine day on Lake Texoma—with a captain who works hard to keep you on the striper. Come ready to fish, learn a little, and make some memories on one of the best striper fisheries in the country.
