What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Pottsboro, Texas for the first time?

They had been catching good numbers in the weeks before our trip, but our bad luck a cold front blew in and turned the fish off. We were still able to catch some, and there were tons of fish we were able to fish through, so they are there and Captain John does a great job keeping you in the best possible places to catch fish!

Dress warm, the mornings can be very cold, especially on a boat. However the fishing is excellent especially if you find a good guide that knows what to fish with and how to work the waters. The fish are constantly on the move.

Ed was a great guide! We stayed in the cabins at Little Mineral Resort. Very enjoyable and reasonable, right in the water.

I've been going around the last week of September/ 1st week of October. Real good weather at the time. Darren with DW Service will be the go to guy in my book.

Find yourself a seasoned Texoma fishing guide and enjoy the adventure that awaits.

If you’ve never rode with a guide before, expect to have a great time and a great experience.

Bring snacks and lots of water, if you are leaving in the morning you might want a sweatshirt. Be ready to reel em in when you’re captain finds the hot spots .

Be prepared for the heat! Other than that, the guides will take care of you and get you on the fish.

Excellent Striper fishing for a first timer. Great time and well worth it. Got our 4th of July fireworks on the line with limit of Stripers in 2.5 hours on Lake Texoma.

Lake Texoma is a huge lake with lots of different species of fish, we generally go there for the striper and the area is absolutely beautiful

Go early in the day and have a guide that knows Lake Texoma. We were fortunate with Mark. He knew the lake.

Patience as fishing in the heat can be frustrating as fish get temperamental. Can be hit and miss, but is usually pretty good.

Sunscreen, snacks, and a small cooler of water or Gatorade. Go to the restroom before you go out because you won't want to stop the action for any reason.....

My grannd son and myself really enjoyed our trip out with Captain John. Jhon was really good person to help new or exspierenced young persons. We had a great trip out and in

July is really hot. Will try a different month, a little cooler hopefully next time.

great fishing in the am it gets hot around 10 but if you get there early your in

Shop around for guides. Call and speak with them before you book with them if you can.

Go fishing in the fall or spring. Texas tends to be too hot to fish in the summer.

you must find out where the guide boat is and how to get to it a bit confusing for first timers

Be prepared for any kind of weather, Not every outing will bring in a limit of fish.
