Hi, I am just starting to get back into fishing since i was a kid. I am wanting to start striper fishing and have no idea what set up i will need, like length of rod, lures, and reel? Any help would be great. I have access to a boat out of highport marina whenever i want it. Also is there a place near there that they bite often? thanks

medium to heavy 6-6 or 7 foot rod good spinning or baitcast reel 17 to 25 test line and 4" to 5" sassy shads some big topwater lures then hook up chris carey of striper express he goes out high port have learned alot of places from fishing with him

Thanks for all the info. Ive talked to a few people and everone has recomended striper express so i will deffently look them up.

Add a cast net and hooks and slabs/big spoons to that list also.

Yes, all of the above. Especially the part about Chris if you are interested in lure fishing. Texoma is a big lake & can frustrate the heck out of you. I fished it for over 10 years growing up until I really felt like I was getting it down. And now I still get humbled more times than I care to admit! Good luck.
