About Your Trip

Captain Jack’s catfish season kicks off in May targeting hard-pulling Blue Catfish, then rolls straight into prime Flathead fishing through June and July, continuing into August as conditions allow. If you’re looking for heavyweight freshwater action, this is your window.

Early in the season, blues are the focus — aggressive, powerful fish that often run in good numbers and offer steady action. As summer heats up, the attention shifts toward flatheads, known for their size, strength, and that unmistakable thump when they eat.

Using electronics and a tournament-minded approach to boat positioning and bait presentation, Captain Jack maximizes opportunities whether you’re after numbers or a true trophy.

Trips run on productive Oklahoma waters including Robert S. Kerr Reservoir, Arkansas River, Lake Eufaula, Lake Tenkiller, Fort Gibson Lake, and Grand Lake o' the Cherokees, with locations selected based on seasonal patterns and fish movement.

Expect heavy tackle, big baits, and the kind of fight that makes catfishing in Oklahoma so addictive.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
