What makes striper fishing trips different for Gainesville anglers
Striper fishing trips from Gainesville head east toward the lake's western reaches. Gainesville, the county seat of Cooke County, sits on I-35 just south of the Red River, and Lake Texoma's west side near Gordonville is about 45 minutes to an hour away. Moss Lake and Lake Ray Roberts are closer to town, but for striped bass Gainesville anglers go to Texoma.
A guided trip means you don't need a boat rigged for open-water stripers or a week of scouting. Your guide provides the bait and fishing equipment, takes the boat to where the schools are feeding, coaches every angler and cleans and fillets the catch so you can head home with fillets on ice.
