Lake Texoma Catfish Guide

Depending on the time of year, we will meet at a specified Lake Texoma Marina around 6 AM CST. We will load up the boat and make sure everyone has a valid Lake Texoma Fishing License, then its off to find Blue Catfish! Please make sure you have a Lake Texoma License! They cost $12.00 and are good until December 31. Wal-Mart and most local stores near Lake Texoma sell them! If you purchase one on your way up, ask for a “Lake Texoma” fishing license. You can also buy them online from the Texas Wildlife Department or the Oklahoma Wildlife Department.

Lake Texoma Catfish are World Class

We don’t have Blue Catfish tied up to a spot, so sometimes we have to hunt them down. Blue Catfish will move from day to day! If we are lucky, these fish will stay in an area for 2-3 days, but with boat traffic that’s very rare! Once we locate the catfish we will drop cut-bait on them and put them in the net!

A Catfish Trip will consist of several stops with hot catching action then………where did they go? We will fire up the big motor and go on the hunt again for Trophy Blue Catfish! This pattern is repeated until we catch a trophy or clients have had enough and we return to the marina!

We release all Blue Catfish over 10 lbs.  We want to keep the Texoma Blue Cat Fishery strong for years to come!  We will clean your smaller fish as your crew relax with a cold drink! The Catfish will be cleaned and filleted with the red meat taken out! We will put the Catfish Fillets in a heavy zip-lock freezer bag so your crew can enjoy them at your next fish fry!

This is a typical Blue Catfish Trip with Lake Texoma Fishing Guide! If you have any questions please take a look at the section below!

World Record Blue Catfish

In 2004, a Blue Catfish was pulled from the lake that weighed 121.5 pounds, temporarily setting a world weight record for rod-and-reel-caught catfish.  The fish was moved to a freshwater aquarium in Athens, Texas. More commonly, catfish in Lake Texoma weigh between 5 and 70 pounds!  Historically, Texas and Oklahoma have not had a reciprocal fishing license agreement, which has posed a problem for anglers. Recent boundary resolutions have given Oklahoma jurisdiction over most of the fishing in Lake Texoma. An Oklahoma fishing license allows fishing most of the lake, up to within 400 yards (370 m) of Denison Dam. To fish the entire lake, a Lake Texoma fishing license was established and made available in 1979.
