Entry 5: Striper Fishing at Lake Texoma: Our Guided Trip with Marty Zamora



An Epic Striper Fishing Trip at Lake Texoma

Earlier this summer, my dad, Uncle Bill, our friend Jody, and I packed up for a quick fishing getaway to Lake Texoma, one of the best places in the U.S. to catch striped bass. We were lucky to book a guided trip with Marty Zamora, a well-known striper guide in the area. Years ago, my dad and I fished with him and had a great experience—so when I saw he had a cancellation for Saturday, June 21, we jumped on it.

We headed down to the lake the night before and camped out right on the sandy shoreline near Cedar Mills Marina. No fancy lodge this time—just four guys, a campfire, and the lake. It was roughing it in the best way.

Fishing Lake Texoma with a Local Guide

We hit the water early with Marty the next morning. While we didn’t quite hit the legal limit of 10 fish per person, we had an awesome problem: we were catching fish that were too big! Under Texas and Oklahoma regulations, only two striped bass per person can be over 20 inches in length—and we kept reeling in monsters. Marty was constantly measuring and releasing fish because they exceeded the size limit.

Why We Recommend Marty Zamora

This wasn’t just a fishing trip; it was a great memory with people I care about. If you're thinking about fishing Lake Texoma for stripers, I highly recommend Marty Zamora. He knows the water, works hard to put you on the fish, and makes the whole experience enjoyable.

Entry 126: A Rainy Night, Birds at Dawn, and the Cozy Joy of Glamping at Ozark RV Park

If you’ve been thinking about trying glamping or need a peaceful base to explore Mountain View, Arkansas, let me share a place you’ll want to add to your list: Ozark RV Park and Cabins. Ozark RV Park & Cabins Call: 870-200-9090 The Glamping Tent I recently stayed in one of their glamping tents, and it was such a fun, comfortable experience. The tent is spacious, set up on a platform with a real bed (on a frame), crisp linens, a fan, air conditioning (yes, you get AC in a tent!), and a Keurig for that first warm cup of coffee in the morning. During my stay, it rained gently, and there is something incredible about falling asleep to the sound of rain on canvas while staying warm and cozy in bed. In the morning, I woke up to the sound of birds and crisp air, peeking outside to a misty, peaceful campground that felt like a breath of fresh air. The Big Park Sign & Rooster The bathhouse on-site deserves a shout-out. It has the nostalgic feel of a summer camp bathhouse but is immacul...

Entry 131: From Bonsai to Blooms: A Walk Through Portland’s Gardens

A Stroll Through the Portland Japanese Garden On a quiet morning in downtown Portland, a buddy and I decided to walk from our hotel to the Portland Japanese Garden. The route wound through the city and into Washington Park, and while it was uphill in spots, it was not bad at all. By the time we reached the entrance, we felt like we had already eased into the slower pace the garden promises. Even before I took ten steps inside, the city noise seemed to fade. The air felt cooler and fresher, like the garden had its own climate set apart from the bustle just outside its walls. The path curved gently ahead, leading us past moss-covered stones and neatly raked gravel beds. A small stream gurgled quietly under a wooden footbridge, the sound blending with the soft rustle of leaves overhead. Every turn revealed a new scene, a carefully placed lantern, a cluster of maple trees, or a pond where koi fish drifted lazily through the water. We followed the path uphill to a wide view of the city. Th...
