About Your Trip

If you’re ready to chase one of freshwater’s most unique and powerful fish, Captain Jack’s Spoonbill trips are built for it. A former tournament fisherman, he still applies competitive techniques — including LiveScope electronics — to locate fish and position the boat for maximum opportunities.

While spoonbill fishing is technically snagging, this is a strategic, casting-focused approach that keeps everyone actively involved. Captain Jack and his team average around 1,000 spoonbill a year and work
hard to keep rods loading up throughout the trip.

You’ll fish from comfortable 18’–24’ pontoon boats depending on your group size, giving everyone plenty of room to cast and battle these prehistoric giants. The crew also takes plenty of photos so your group leaves with great memories of the day.

Trips run on a variety of 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 chosen based on seasonal movement and where fish are concentrated.

For those wanting to extend the adventure, lodging can be arranged separately in one of their campers located near the lake, making it easy to turn your fishing trip into a full weekend getaway.

Be ready for heavy gear, big fish, and a serious fight — spoonbill are powerful, prehistoric, and unforgettable to catch.

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.
