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,
My family and I would like to thank you again for such a great family experience last Saturday while fishing Lake Texoma with Texoma ”T” Striper Guide Service. We were truly blessed to have you as our fishing guide. Your experience and knowledge of Texoma and Striper fishing really paid off. It seems that you really have a gift for finding the fish. You guided us and helped put together a very nice stringer of 27 fish including a really nice one around 15 lbs. To top off this great fishing trip was a relaxing weekend while lodging at your Double J Lodge. This Lodge has lots of room for the whole family with all the amenities of home including a real peaceful country like atmosphere. Great thanks again and rest assure, I would recommend Texoma “T” and Double J Lodge to anyone and especially to a families looking for a weekend to relax and enjoy the outdoors. Have a Blessed Day and God Bless America!
Thanks,

“Sterling,
Just wanted to send our wish for a grand future with great happiness and success in your new adventure. You will be sorely missed at the lake. Danny and I with all our friends had the best fishing experience we had ever had the day you took us all out. Amarillo has been a “buzz” with stories about our trip, and girls if you want a female friendly guide, Sterling was it. He’ll do all he can do to make his guests happy. We will look forward to our next trip with Larry as I’m sure he will give us all a wonderful time. Again Thanks for all the memories and the professional way you handled your business.
Best Wishes

“Larry,
Thanks for taking me out fishing yesterday and today in you're new 23' Falcon! I am very happy that you now have my old business in you're hands and I know that my old customers and your old and new ones will be just as glad. You all need to give Larry a call and get booked because he is filling up fast and I plan on booking trips with him myself! Good luck, Larry!
