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.
Testimonials
“Larry,
First of all I want to thank you very much. I brought my dad, brother-in-law, and one of his friends down for my dads 80th Birthday. I had only been down once before, and I told you my dad would probably not make it down again. You showed all of us a wonderful time! I really appreciate the extra care and understanding you took with my dad. He cried when I dropped him off, and said "it was the most fun he has had in 20 years"!
You will be my guide for life!!! Thank you with all my heart!!!

“Hi Larry:
Thanks for the great trip yesterday. I appreciate your efforts in working to put us on the fish. I also appreciate the way in which you were patient in teaching the children (even when one of them (who shall remain unnamed) hit the button when the line was snagged. The striper fishing was definitely the highlight of our long weekend at Lake Texoma.
By the way, thanks for posting our picture. Taylor, Abby and Jaren Heidenreich.
Thanks again.

“Larry,
This last weekend I visited your home to check out your Striper operation and was very impressed to see a well organized and professional guide service. Your boat is the king of fishing boats making it safe and secure for families with children or everyone. Your equipment is very clean and in exceptional working order. The real plus is that your knowledge of the lake and knowing where to catch fish in every weather condition. I was not able to fish with you during this visit, but am looking forward to scheduling a trip in early spring. I have seen other operations on the lake and I would not consider fishing with anyone but Texoma T.
