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
“Harry, Neil and myself had a fabulous time the other morning. I like the way you gave us choices of how we wanted to try and catch fish. You have become a real pro and with the new boat you made us feel right at home. Thanks again and see you in a month or so.

“Sterling,
Just wanted to say thank you--I had a great time and appreciate your guidance for our trip. I'm sure Ben had a good time, though he was a little sad he didn't catch as many as I did!!
Thanks again,

“Sterling,
Thanks for a wonderful fishing experience. We had a blast. It was especially fun when all six poles hit at the same time! You were amazing with my 9 year old daughter Elyssa – patient, helpful and funny. Families with kids should definitely use you! My dad also loved your tip about getting the red line out. He said it made the fish so much easier to clean. We tried your 7-up fish recipe when we got home and the fish tasted amazing. We also loved your B Street Lodge. It was perfect: quiet, clean and everything we needed was right there. Elyssa kept saying, “This is much better than a motel!”
It was a perfect fishing trip and we will definitely see you again! Thanks!
