A Typical Day on the Water with Striper Guide Aaron Sharp
One of the most common questions we hear is: What is a day of guided fishing on Lake Texoma like with Aaron Sharp?
Every trip is customized to the anglers on board, the season, and current lake conditions. From launch to the last cast, Aaron Sharp focuses on providing a safe, productive, and enjoyable Lake Texoma striper fishing experience. Many clients say these trips feel less like a standard fishing outing and more like a true guided Lake Texoma fishing experience.
The Night Before Your Trip
Your trip will always begin with a phone call the night before your charter fishing service. A start time and launch location will be confirmed based on the striper fishing season. Expect very early starts during the summer months (5–6 AM CST) and later start times in winter (8–9 AM CST).
Where Our Lake Texoma Fishing Trips Launch
All guided trips launch from:
Alberta Creek Resort & Marina
Kingston, Oklahoma
Lake Texoma
Launching from Alberta Creek provides fast access to productive striper waters on the Oklahoma side of the lake while remaining centrally located for Texas anglers traveling from Denison, Sherman, and the DFW area.
Catching Bait
Our day often starts early by locating threadfin and gizzard shad on Lake Texoma. In some cases, bait is gathered as early as 3 AM CST to ensure our clients have a full supply for their trip. You’ll meet us at the dock with a spotless boat, a full tank of live threadfin shad, and quality rods, reels, and tackle ready to go. Once all anglers have a valid Lake Texoma fishing license, we head out to the big lake.
Test Run
A short test run is always performed for first-time or less experienced anglers. We’ll stop near the marina to make sure everyone is comfortable fishing live bait with a rod and reel before heading into active striper schools. Finding fish can take time, and we may run 30–40 minutes across Lake Texoma depending on conditions. While social media often shows full cleaning tables, real success comes from experience, patience, and local knowledge. If clients don’t catch stripers, the next trip is free.
Back to the Marina
Once a limit of Lake Texoma stripers is reached, we return to Alberta Creek Marina. Your fish will be cleaned, filleted, and packaged in heavy-duty freezer bags. After a few hero photos, you’ll head home with enough fresh striper fillets for a family fish fry. A typical Lake Texoma striper fishing trip lasts 5–6 hours.

Live Bait Striper Fishing Lake Texoma
Live bait is one of the most effective ways to catch trophy striped bass on Lake Texoma. Using fresh threadfin and gizzard shad, our focus is always on helping clients catch quality fish and consistent numbers. We rely on live bait when it’s producing the best results and adjust techniques as conditions change.
Depending on the season, we may anchor on a productive area or set up a controlled drift to stay with active schools of striped bass. Both approaches are proven to put fish in the boat and make for an enjoyable day on the water with family, friends, or coworkers. Most trips end with smiling anglers and fresh striper fillets ready for a fish fry.
Striper Fishing on Lake Texoma with Artificial Lures
Artificial lures play an important role in successful striper fishing on Lake Texoma. When conditions favor lures over live bait, we switch without hesitation to techniques that continue producing quality fish. Swimbaits and slab spoons are effective year-round tools for targeting active striped bass, and there are times when lures simply outperform live bait.
Before each trip, clients are informed whether live bait or artificial lures are producing the best. Some anglers prefer to fish with lures only, and trips can be customized to match that preference. Whether using live bait or artificial presentations, our goal is always the same — consistent action, quality stripers, and a great day on Lake Texoma.

Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Seasons
Summer (May–September)
May and June are excellent months for live-bait striper fishing on Lake Texoma. July can be more inconsistent due to extreme heat, and August is typically the toughest summer month. As temperatures begin to cool in September, striper fishing improves significantly, with topwater plug fishing often becoming productive.
Fall (October–November)
Fall is a favorite time of year on Lake Texoma. Cooler water and returning seagulls help locate large schools of striped bass, making fall striper fishing both consistent and exciting.
Winter (December–February)
Winter striper fishing on Lake Texoma is outstanding for trophy fish. Deadsticking soft plastics such as flukes is a highly effective technique, and many of the largest stripers of the year are caught during the winter months.
Spring (March–April)
Spring fishing focuses on shallow water along rocky shorelines. Live bait and casting swimbaits are both productive as striped bass move up to feed, providing active and hands-on fishing opportunities.
