A friend's wife wants to send four of us on a striper trip on Lake Texoma in late Feb./early March. I've never hired a guide before and she is asking me what to look for. If any of you have experience in hiring guides or guiding, I would appreciate any comments that you might share. One question I have is would you rather troll with downriggers or sit still and straightline? It is a 7 hour trip and all bait and tackle is supplied. She has a $50 coupon, so the total for four of us will be $325. I don't know the name of the guide service. Thanks in advance.
