Lake Texoma is known as the Striper capital of the world, so book a date and Charles will provide a fishing trip of a lifetime.

About Your Guide

Charles S.

Independent Guide 11 years of exp.

I have been guiding fishing and duck hunting trips for 15 years. I owned a KOA campground in West, TX for 18 years, and I guided part time on Lake Whitney for 10 of those years. After I sold the campground I moved to Oklahoma and started guiding fishing and hunting trips full time on Lake Texoma.
I have a friendly and easy going personality. I am always happy to answer questions and share my knowledge about the lake and fishing tecniques. Customer service is important to me, and I have many return customers because of the way I treat people and because of how hard I work to show my customers a good time.

What’s your favorite band?

I love Blue Grass and Classic Rock. The Dillards are my favorite bluegrass band. AC/DC is my favorite rock band.

What’s your favorite movie?

Saving Private Ryan

What’s your favorite sports team?

I never got into watching sports. I was always to busy hunting during football season to find an interest.

What’s your drink of choice?

Coffee, Coca Cola, and an occasional Bud Light or quality 100% Agave sipping tequilla. I don't drink alcohol very often because it puts me to sleep.

What was your last halloween costume?

I started the night dressed up as a nudist and ended the night dressed up in an orange jail outfit. Ha! I'm kidding. I don't remember the last time I wore a costume.

What do you want for Christmas this year?

My list doesn't change. 12 gauge. Semi auto or over/under. I'm easy to shop for. There is no such thing as owning to many guns.

How did you get started guiding?

Craigslist and the Thrifty NIckel.

What makes you different from other guides?

Positive attitude, friendly personality, and top notch customer service.

Everything Else to Know

Be sure to check the weather and dress appropriately. I can feel 10 - 15 degrees colder on the water, so it's always a good idea to dress in layers. It's better to over dress and remove a layer, rather than to be underdressed, cold and miserable.

You'll need to buy a fishing license before getting out there. Find out more about licenses here.

We use a cashless autopay system. We'll send you a boarding pass, and on the day of the trip, your guide will scan your boarding pass to automatically transfer the remaining balance. The only cash needed is to tip your guide (we recommend 20%).

Cancel for free up to 7 days before the trip and receive credit back to your account. Cancelling within 7 of the trip will forfeit your deposit to the guide. Day-of cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full balance of the trip to their card.

In the event of inclement weather you'll be covered by out 100% Weather Guarantee and will not lose your deposit.

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. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

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, bait, 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.
