John B. is the best guide I have ever fished with! His boat and equipment is clean, top notch quality, and the way he treats people is respectful, courteous, and absolutely AMAZING! You will catch fish with him without a doubt! You just gotta follow his directions and youll have an excellent time! I am planning to book another trip with him soon! Tight lines folks!

Had a great day fishing with John, not only caught our limit on a VERY challenging day (30mph+ winds!), but more importantly learned a lot about locating the stripers, using the electronics and proper slab fishing techniques, and great tips on cleaning the fish as well. Highly recommended!

Best trip ever! I’ve been on several guided trips and this was by far the best! The kids absolutely loved it! We caught our limit! If you’re looking for a guide who knows what he’s doing John is your guy! ️

Best day ever! My friend and I have known John since our Gander Mountain days and have gone fishing with him multiple times. He never disappoints and always gives us an amazing trip. He is the absolute best! This was the first time we took my friends daughter and John wore her out with the fish! Lol! Thanks for everything John!

Awesome experience! Guide was very knowledgeable of the lake and where to find and more important, catch fish!! The biologist that stopped by said that most were ‘struggling’ to catch fish today but we had a limit of 40 and threw back 25+ in just a couple hours even though the lake was crowded. Once back to dock, he cleaned the fish and took extra care to make sure the fillets were ‘ready to cook’. Overall, fantastic and highly recommend!!

Great day of fishing with Adventure Texoma Outdoors and Captain John. I have been out with several other guides before but this trip was by far the best I have been with a guide at lake Texoma. John is well experienced on the lake and also eager teaching his patrons how to fish on this lake.We started our day trying some top water fishing and hitting a few very good hot spots almost limiting out (we caught more than our limit but had to throw many back because we already limited out on our big fish ). After the fish went lower we started fishing with slabs to give us another opportunity to learn slab fishing. We caught a few but needed 5 more small fish to totally limit out. I was extremely impressed Captain John stayed on the hunt instead of going back to the dock, we limited out!!! I would recommend John Blasingame and Adventure Texoma Outdoors to anyone looking to have a great day striper fishing! Cant wait to go out with him in the future!

Lake Texoma is a wonderful place to spend a weekend or a week an hour and a half north of Dallas Lake Texoma offers camping cabins fishing and restaurants and more what a great way to have an inexpensive staycation!

Captain John was the best! I mean the best. He finds them and then everyone else shows up. He told us that we would most likely limit out by 10am. Sure enough, we limited out by 10am. Captain John is the best on Texoma in my book.

John took my family of four out and we couldn’t have been happier with the entire experience. We moved our days around to stay out of the snow and cold and he was super flexible and accommodating to make sure we were comfortable.We ranged from experienced fishers to beginners and John made sure we were on top of stripers all day so every one of us maxed out and caught fish and had fun. I know I’ll be coming back to John every time.

I’ve had several outings with Adventure Texhoma Outdoors over the past couple years in various weather conditions. John has never disappointed, always putting us on fish and working to make our outings enjoyable. He will even go the extra mile to clean your fish, removing that less than savory red strip which I’ve had to do on my own with other guides. Overall John does a nice job with his guests.

Review №23

Ive used several fishing guides on Texoma. All were cordial, but none compare with John. Our trips with John were serious fishing trips! John took us to the fish, demonstrated how it was done - and we caught fish - a lot of them! Hes our guide from now on!

Review №24

We spent two days on the lake with John, and we did nothing but catch fish. I’ve gone out with other guides who just wanted to limit and get back to the dock ASAP, but not with John. Not only did he teach us better ways to catch Striper, there wasn’t a moment we didn’t have a rod in hand, usually with a fish on. And the service didn’t stop when we docked. He cleaned and packaged up the fish while we chilled at his cool bar.We had so much fun, we’re going back out with him next week. Don’t waste time with other guides, get on John’s schedule...IF you want to catch fish. If you just want to get a tan, try someone else.

Review №25

Please trust the reviews you see here on Google. John is simply the best guide on the lake hands down. We felt at ease as we were going out for the morning and another fellow guide assured us that John was the best guide on the lake. We went out 2 days after a cold front with blue bird skies and he was still able to get our limit considering the tough fishing conditions. His knowledge of Lake Texoma and how to pattern fish is something I’ve never seen before considering he uses artificial bait. His willingness to stick it out and grind through the day to get our limit is one of the main reasons he will be the only guide I will ever use on Texoma. We can’t thank you enough John, looking forward to next year!

Great day on Texoma with the best guide on the lake. As always John put us on fish and we put them in the boat. Always have good trips but today was one of the best for big fish. Best part was catching them on top waters. If you are looking for a guide on Texoma give John a call. He always finds the fish. Ive never left disappointed. Thanks for the trip John cant wait for the next one.

Review №29

I was given info from my neighbor, was told he was booked solid for weekends for the next month or so, however John set me up for a Thursday trip with less than a weeks notice! John is very knowledgeable, experienced and familiar with the fish and the lake. John makes sure you go home happy! Fish with CONFIDENCE! On a side note, I’m primarily a largemouth fisherman so I’m still gonna set that hook!

This was our third year in a row with Captain John. He is knowledgeable, professional and fun. Always puts you on the fish, he has never let us down. I appreciate that John is conservation minded regarding the fish as a species and the fishery that is beautiful Lake Texoma and always looking out for his fellow guides. I highly recommended Adventure Texoma Outdoors and Captain John Blasingame.

Captain John put us on the fish as always. Had a great trip, caught our limit and was back at the dock in 4 hours. Capt. John takes the extra time when cleaning the fish to remove the red line which alot of places dont. If you want catch Striper give Capt. John a call, you wont regret it. Ted

We had a wonderful time with John today! He worked hard to keep us on fish all day. We caught and released at least 15 fish over 20” long. John did an excellent job of cleaning the fish too. He gets the red meat out of the fish, which improves the taste of the fish. From start to finish John is truly a class act. This was our first trip with him, but it definitely won’t be our last trip. We look forward to booking with him again. If your looking for an excellent guide you can’t go wrong with John.

Ive been on five trips with John and each one has surpassed my expectations. Im a list person, so here are my top three things:1.) Education- I love how John educates about how to fish for people like me who are new to fishing.2.) Experience- John has over 25 years of experience and it shows on every trip. All of the other tour guides call John for advice and help.3.) Expertise- John knows every strategy to find the fish, get them to come to the boat, and reel them in. He is truly an expert fishing tour guide. Its also amazing to watch him clean the fish for you.Give him a try. There is a reason Ive been back five times. He is worth every penny.

Booked a fishing trip for my husbands birthday. John went above and beyond to make it a great day for my husband, son and 2 friends. They caught a TON of fish. The guys enjoyed it so much they want to make it a yearly outing. John was very informative and made sure they had everything they needed for fishing. He cleaned up their catch beautifully. John even told my husband how to properly store the fish in the freezer to prevent freezer burn. I honestly havent seen my husband this excited in years. Thanks John for giving the guys a memorable day on the lake. Will definitely be booking with you again.

We went out with John yesterday a 50% of heavy rain, the wind was strong, the waves were 3-4 ft sewells. John said dont worry this the ideal fishing weather. 3 1/2 hours later we were back at his dock with 40 fish limit for the day, we also released about 10. My 6 years son caught the biggest 8 pound stripper, my 10 years son said Captain John knew where all the fish were. I would highly recommend Captain John, were thinking about booking his service again for this summer. Thanks John for a great experience. :)))))))

John is a top notch guide and a super guy to fish with. Fished with him three times and caught fish every trip. John is very knowledgeable and knows where the fish are year round and the techniques to put them in the boat. You’ll be hard pressed to find a better guide on Texoma. His 24 foot Blazer Bay boat is roomy, safe and can handle rough conditions. You want a awesome fishing trip hire John Blasingame. You won’t be sorry!

I was quite new to fishing when I went along with my dad on this tour. Fishing in the lake was a very nice experience; I was able to pick up what to do fairly quickly with the instructions from both my dad and the instructor. The instructor was a very nice guy, he was quite patient with his instructions and he didn’t mind showing me certain things more than once. It was a great experience.

Went out on November 22 for a day of Striper fishing with John. It was a cold and windy morning but we were put on a school of fish immediately. Conditions were difficult but we were still able to easily catch a limit of fish.Don’t base John’s value on number of fish alone (some days they won’t bite no matter what you throw at them), he is a very personable guide and works diligently to put you on fish. You will work hard, running all over the lake, but this is much more fun and rewarding than the typical guide who is only interested in catching you a limit regardless of size just to get you back to the marina. We spent a full 6 hours on the water. This is my third trip to Texoma and easily the largest average size of fish due to John’s approach.His attention to detail continues back at the dock where he cleans the fish and removes the red meat. Most guides do not take this extra step.I highly recommend Adventure Texoma, we will be back to use him again.

Review №72

Our group went out with John back in the summer and the fishing was terrible (5 people, 6 hours, and 8 fish ). Unlike most guides, John made sure to book us another trip and got us back out on the lake. I was skeptical at first, but it comes to show that this is fishing and not catching. Its impossible to say that everyday is going to be a good day.We had three people in our group today and had a great time. We were able to get our limit fairly quick and kept on fishing. Ended up throwing back at least 50 more before ending the day. John knows his stuff because there were other boats near us throughout the day and we were out fishing them 5 to 1. If youre looking for a guide, Adventure Texoma Outdoors is a no brainer.

As a fishing enthusiast, I’ve been deep sea fishing, river-fishing, but never fishing on a lake; so naturally Lake Texoma caught my attention and I took the family for an outing there. It was a good experience, the captain was very friendly and he gave some useful tips to help us out. It was a much calmer experience than my other ventures but it was still awesome.

We went out on 03/29/18 with John, ATO (Adventure Texoma Outdoors).This was my 4th time out with John and this is why, “He is a TOP NOTCH guide”. Not only can he find the fish, but load the boat with fish!I believe every time I have gone out with John, we have either limited, or came close to it!The first time out, we caught over 100 fish! (5 people fishing)This last trip was nothing short of AWESOME! After a slow start, we got onto the fish! We all limited AND filled our 2 overs! (Two fish per fisherman 20 inches or larger)!My buddy Steve and I hooked up at the same time on a couple of lunkers! (I’m sure John will post pictures of these on his social media platforms) We both landed nice fish! It is TAO’s request, that all big fish of a certain size (Brooders) be released as soon as possible, as to lessen the stress and harm to the fish. This request is to conserve the breeding stock of the Strip Bass, so that the lake will continue to provide a healthy and strong population of Strip Bass for generations to come.We honored that request and let them BIG ones go!I could go on and on about all the fine attributes of John @ ATO but I’ll leave it up to you.... book a trip with John and enjoy the experience (25 years on Lake Texoma) and expertise, of a true guide service!
