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.

“Sterling,
It was only appropriate that the Army and Air Force could join forces on a joint mission yesterday, Veteran's Day, catching the Big Stripers on Texoma. We all had an exceptional time. Your boat and equipment was squared away. Under your Command we sought out, closed with, and destroyed (I mean caught) the enemy (I mean fish) by five. Then we maneuvered. Your Task Force is a fine well oiled machine Sir. Well Done!

“Sterling,
I can't remember a more fun weekend at any lake! I have been fishing for over 30 years and I feel your guide service was well worth the time and money. You kept us on fish all day long for the two days we were there. The action was exciting and flat wore my Dad (Billy-Dick), out on both days. Your boat and all associated fishing gear are top notch and maintained in perfect order. The lodge was immaculate, comfortable and accommodating. In fact, I don't think I have ever been on a trouble free, hassle free fishing trip before. Well, last weekend was one for sure ! You not only took us out to fish; you fished us. Each one of us appreciated that gesture immensely. For that reason we will book again for next year, if not earlier.
Many thanks,

“I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help this weekend! This has been the best Halloween I've ever had! We could not have caught as much as we did without your knowledge and expertise. The entire time we were out on the lake, people kept asking on the radio, "Where are the fish at?". By that time, we were already at our limit. I will definitely be back sometime, and have already recommended your service to all of my friends and family. Thanks again and see you soon!
