8) Lake Texoma Fishing Reports

"Last week it's been soooo busy. I am using live bait, and it entails me getting up at 2:30 am and throw cast net until 5:30, pickup customers at 6. I am getting the limit on stripers 90 per cent of time, 10 fish per person, 2 over twenty inches. Most fish are all overs. I have very few days open now, for about two weeks. I guess I am popular, or at least I work hard for a good reputation. I am putting in 8 hours on a four hour trip. I do like being busy and making money for what I love to do."-JD
