What to Expect on the Water

When you hop aboard Captain Brian's boat, you're in for a treat. The trip kicks off with a quick safety briefing and fishing 101 for those who need it. Then it's off to the honey holes where the crappie are known to hang out. You'll likely be using a technique called "spider rigging" - a method where multiple rods are set up off the front of the boat, allowing you to cover more water and increase your chances of a bite. Captain Brian will show you how to set up your lines, bait your hooks, and read the fish finder to spot those schools of crappie. As you drift or troll along, keep your eyes peeled for the tell-tale nibble of a crappie taking the bait. When you feel that tug, it's game on! Reel 'em in and get ready for some great photo ops with your catch. And don't worry if you're new to this - Captain Brian's patient coaching will have you fishing like a pro in no time.

And let's not forget the bragging rights that come with landing a big crappie - those stories will be told around the dinner table for years to come!

Species You'll Want to Hook

While this trip focuses on crappie, Lake Texoma is home to a variety of fish species that might end up on your line. Let's talk about the star of the show - the crappie. These feisty panfish are known for their delicious, flaky white meat and the fun fight they put up when hooked. Crappie in Lake Texoma can grow up to 2 pounds, though most you'll catch will be in the 3/4 to 1-pound range. They tend to school up, so when you find one, you've often found many! Spring is typically the best time for crappie fishing, as they move into shallow waters to spawn, making them easier to target. However, Captain Brian knows how to find them year-round, adjusting tactics based on the season.

While you're targeting crappie, don't be surprised if you hook into some other Lake Texoma residents. Striped bass, or "stripers," are a popular gamefish in these waters and can put up a serious fight. White bass, often called "sand bass" locally, are another species you might encounter. They're similar to crappie in size and just as tasty. And if you're really lucky, you might even hook into a catfish - Lake Texoma is known for some monster blues and flatheads. Each of these species offers a unique fishing experience, and Captain Brian can give you the lowdown on how to handle each one if they end up on your line.
