Booking a Trip

1. Check out our calendar tab to find an open date. Click the More Events arrow to scroll through openings. If you need a date not shown or an extended range of openings, please call or text. 
2. You can contact Southern Wind Guide Service by phone or text at (580) 320-8476, or use the Contact Us tab to email us and request an available date.
3. Please provide the number of people in the party, the first and last name of the contact person who will be on the trip, and the phone number where they will receive text messages. 

Once you contact me and we settle on a date, I will send you an invoice through Square for half of the trip's price, payable by credit or debit card. Once the deposit payment has been approved, I will send you a confirmation text message confirming the date, departure time, number of fishermen, and pick-up location for your trip.

The best time to book a trip is when you can go! Striper and bass fishing on Tawakoni and Texoma is great year round, however some months are better than others. Prime months are April through July and September through December. If you want a date in one of the prime months I suggest you book as far in advance as possible because they fill up fast. 

I can fish with up to 6 people on my boat for Striper and Hybrid fishing; however, I have a network of other guides on the lake that we often collaborate with to accommodate any number of people that you, your company, or organization may need to get out on the water. Young or old, bring them all! I love to have kids on the boat. I have children of my own who love to fish and have extensive experience with kids in the outdoors. I like nothing more than seeing folks of any age catch the fever for Striper and Hybrid bass fishing. 

 Deposit: A credit card deposit of half the total trip amount will be charged at the time of booking. 

The remaining payment will be due on the day of the trip, payable in cash or by credit card. 

Deposits are non-refundable within 14 days of the scheduled trip. Customers who cancel more than 14 days before the trip date may choose to reschedule the trip within 90 days of the original trip date. If the trip is not rescheduled within 90 days, the deposit will be forfeited, and a new deposit will be required for any future bookings. I understand that things come up, and I will do my best to accommodate any scheduling changes and find an alternative date that works for both of us. However, some things are out of my control, and yours. I reserve the right to cancel any trip due to unsafe weather or water conditions. We will discuss any weather-related cancellations, but ultimately, I have the final say if and when my boat leaves the dock. Safety is the top priority. In the event of a weather-related cancellation, the trip will be rescheduled at a time agreed upon by both me and the customers. 

Late Arrivals: If you will be more than 15 minutes late to the pickup location, please call to let me know before the scheduled departure time. 

No-call, no-shows on the day of the trip: If you fail to show up at the designated pickup location and do not call to provide notice of a late arrival within 30 minutes of the departure time, your card will be charged the full price of the trip. 

Cancellations due to mechanical breakdown: In the event of a mechanical breakdown that will keep us off the water on the day of the trip. The trip will be rescheduled on a date agreed upon by me and the customer. 

Lucky You!
