Get ready to hit the water for some of the best bass fishing Oklahoma has to offer! Saccaro's Guide Service is taking you on an 8-hour trip to Lake Fork and Lake Bois D'arc, where the largemouth bass and crappie are waiting. Whether you're new to fishing or a seasoned pro, our guides know these lakes like the back of their hand and are ready to put you on the fish. We've got all the gear you need - just bring your license and let's get after it!
When you hop on board with Saccaro's Guide Service, you're in for a full day of fishing action. We'll start bright and early, hitting the water when the fish are most active. Our guides will take you to the hotspots on Lake Fork and Lake Bois D'arc, two of Oklahoma's top fishing destinations. You'll be using top-notch equipment, including live bait that the bass and crappie just can't resist. We've got room for two anglers, so bring a buddy and make it a day to remember. Just a heads up - we don't provide meals, so pack some snacks to keep your energy up for reeling in those big ones!
On this trip, we'll be focusing on some tried-and-true techniques for bass and crappie. For bass, we might do some flipping and pitching around structure, or work some topwater lures early in the morning. When it comes to crappie, we'll likely be using live minnows or jigs, depending on what's working best that day. Our boats are fully equipped with fish finders, so we can locate those underwater honey holes where the fish are stacked up. We provide all the rods, reels, and tackle you'll need - from crankbaits to soft plastics, we've got a full arsenal to match whatever the fish are biting. And don't worry if you're new to these techniques - our guides will walk you through everything step-by-step.
Largemouth Bass: These are the heavy hitters of Lake Fork and Lake Bois D'arc. Oklahoma largemouth can grow to trophy sizes, with fish over 10 pounds not unheard of. They're known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making them a favorite among anglers. Spring and fall are prime times for big bass, but we catch them year-round. These fish love to hang around underwater structure like submerged trees and grass beds, so we'll target those areas.
Crappie: Don't let their size fool you - these "papermouths" put up a great fight and are delicious to boot. Lake Fork and Lake Bois D'arc are known for producing slab crappie, with fish over a pound being common. They school up, so when we find them, it's often non-stop action. Spring is the best time for crappie as they move into shallow water to spawn, but we can catch them throughout the year. They're a blast to catch on light tackle, and their white, flaky meat makes for an excellent fish fry.
Folks who fish with Saccaro's Guide Service often become repeat customers, and it's not hard to see why. Our guides don't just know where the fish are - they understand their patterns and behaviors, which means more fish in the boat for you. We're not about fancy gimmicks or false promises; we're about real fishing with real results. Plus, these lakes are just plain beautiful. Even on slower days, you're still out on the water, enjoying Oklahoma's natural beauty and maybe picking up a new fishing trick or two from our experienced guides.
This season has been hot for both bass and crappie. We've had several largemouth over 8 pounds hit the boat, with one lucky angler landing a 10.5-pounder - a true Oklahoma trophy! Crappie fishing has been on fire too, with lots of limits being caught and several fish pushing the 2-pound mark. Spring has been particularly good, with the fish moving up shallow and really chomping. But don't worry if you can't make it in spring - we've been putting clients on fish year-round, adjusting our tactics as the seasons change.
Here are a few things to keep in mind to make the most of your day on the water with us:
1. Dress in layers - Oklahoma weather can be unpredictable, and it's often cooler on the water than on land. 2. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat - the sun can be intense out there, even on cloudy days. 3. Bring a camera - you'll want to capture those big fish moments! 4. Stay hydrated - we recommend bringing plenty of water or your favorite non-alcoholic beverages. 5. Listen to your guide - they know these waters and can help you improve your technique.
Remember, fishing is as much about the experience as it is about the catch. Come with a positive attitude, and you're guaranteed to have a great time!

Crappie are fun-sized panfish, usually 7-12 inches and about a pound. They school up around brush piles, fallen trees, and dock posts in our lakes. These guys prefer clearer water than bass, especially the black crappie. Spring's the hot season when they move shallow to spawn, but fall can be great too. Crappie are active at dawn and dusk, so plan your fishing around those times. Folks love targeting them because they're eager biters and absolutely delicious - some of the best-tasting freshwater fish you'll find. They might not put up the fight of a bass, but when you're on a hot crappie bite, it's non-stop action. Pro tip: use light line and small jigs tipped with live minnows. Slow troll around likely structure, and when you catch one, stick around - where there's one crappie, there's usually a bunch more.
Largemouth bass are the kings of our lakes, typically running 2-10 pounds and up to 24 inches long. You'll find them lurking around submerged logs, weed beds, and drop-offs. These ambush predators love warm, murky water with plenty of cover. Spring and fall are prime times when they're most active, but summer can be great too if you know where to look. Anglers love 'em for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights - when a big one hits, hold on tight! Their white, flaky meat makes for good eating too. Here's a local tip: on hot summer days, try working a plastic worm slowly along the bottom near deep structure. The big ones often hang out in the cooler depths, so be patient and you might just hook into a trophy.
