Welcome

My name is Larry Kessler and I would like to be your striper fishing guide on beautiful Lake Texoma, "the striper capital of the world". I want to keep this site very simple, easy to use and informative, so please read on.
I have been fishing on Lake Texoma for over 20 years and have been in the guide service business for over 12 years.
Your trip will last up to 5 hours. I don't try to get a limit caught and run you back into the dock. I like to fish people and that is what we will do, provided the fish let us. If we are hooking fish to where they won't survive, we will have to stop and clean our fish. Bring the kids! I enjoy being around kids and watching them fight with stripers. It is a great way to interest your kids in a great outdoor experience and spend some quality time together out on the lake. Children under 12 fish for $40 with each paid adult!
I hold OUPV Merchant Mariner Credentials issued by the United States Coast Guard, am licensed by the States of Oklahoma, Texas and carry the required liability insurance for guiding on LakeTexoma.
CORPORATE and FAMILY TRIPS are more than welcome! I will arrange for enough experienced guides and their boats to make the trip a good experience for your entire group.
I clean and fillet your fish at the end of the trip. I provide freezer bags to store the fish for your trip back home. You will have some prep work left to do with the fillets, but I will show you how it is done.
Book a trip today and get your date reserved before it is gone. Booking a year in advance is not too early!
I live in the Caney/Soldier Creek area on the Oklahoma side of Lake Texoma. It is a very central location on the lake and easy to drive to from anywhere in the country. It makes a good starting point on most mornings without having to travel long distances across the lake to find fish. All trips will leave from my private dock that is very easy to drive to from any location.
We can also provide you with lodging, if you prefer. It can save you from having to find accommodations yourself. There is a "LODGING" tab at the top of the page where you can view it. Double J Lodge is for our customers that are wanting a nice place to stay without the motel setting. I will make recommendations to you on other places to stay overnight depending on where you are traveling from if we can't fit your needs.

“Larry,
Just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the great fishing trip yesterday. My sons and I had a fantastic experience!! We had never gone fishing with a guide before so were a little unsure of what to expect. WOW!! When you put us over the stripers and woke them up, the action was fast and furious. The best part was all five of us landing a fish at the same time. We definitely plan on coming back.Thanks again,

“Hi Larry, We had an excellant time. Really enjoyed the whole weekend we spent there. Even though it was the hottest weekend of the year the fishing was great and my husband is now dreaming of a new boat (one like your's). We enjoyed having you as our guide and will highly recommend you to others. You are very perfessional, fun, and a pleasure to be around. Thanks so much for a great time.

Daniel and I had a wonderful time fishing yesterday. Thank you so much for all your kindness and hospitality. It was a lucky guess but I think we got the BEST guide on Lake Texoma. : ) Daniel had a great time and it's hard to put a smile on his face sometimes. Good job! Our kids grow up too fast and it was really nice to be able to spend time with him one on one. As they get older, it's harder and harder to do. Like you say . . . it's not about the money.

Looking forward to that Fish Fry the next time down. LOL : )”
