Sriper fishing has been excellent on Lake Texoma. The birds are working over the schools of Stripers that are feeding on shad at the surface. The fish that are surfacing have been on the small side, but we are catching the larger stripers on live bait about 30 feet below the surfacing fish. We are also catching fish on white Bomber slabs. Drop the slab to bottom and crank it fast 5 turns at a time with a 1 second pause between the 5 handle turns. Stripers will usually hit during the pause. Daytime temps have been in the high 70's to low 80's, and those temps are forecast for the next 10 days. It's perfect fishing weather.

The summer has been tough, brutal work the extreme heat. It's him and miss mostly but everyone seems to understand and just enjoy the outing and being together. Fall has just arrived but still hit, but people are beginning to book again. With cooler weather it would be lights out. We get out early fish 4. 5 hours and clean fish. Everyone loves the great outdoors and fishing of course! I am heading out now with 4 people and we will see. I have guided over 40 plus years and a military (Navy) man . I recommend you getting your fingernails into some Striper and have a great time. Book now as fall should bring great results!

Last few weeks been slow but had about 3 trips under winter conditions. Winter here is in low 70s to high 40s so not that bad. Caught limit of striper each trip with lots big fish over 30 inches. Fish deep mostly but I been trolling shallows and catching lots fish at same spot each trip. Little breeze always helps but most time in higher winds which blows fish into shallow humps, just in my trolling range .

Weather real chilly, but light winds making a great day for fishing Lake Texoma . Very few Guides out but I have been busy catching stripers trolling. I make my own jigs and vivid colors, yellow, white; order the frames which hold 9 jigs and catching multiple fish and big fish. My business catching on even during winter and Christmas, and booked some 3 or 4 trips per week . If trolling don’t work I carry plenty live bait just in case. When I find fish I remain in same area for awhile and then they move on and I chase them again.

Fishing really picking up with cooler weather. Kids back in school, business slowed a bunch. I have been catching fish on bait and trolling. Big fish on umbrella rigs and lots fish on bait. I sometimes do both to get a limit of both. Big fish only 2 over 20 inches per person, 10 fish total per customer.
Time to book before cold weather hits in December. Good fishing most time in year and slows down when it gets hot. Water temp 60 degrees fish go crazy and this is usually Feb to April. Lots real big fish now and time to book for Fall. Took wife out yesterday evening for date, and fishing was great!

July 2022 has had its ups and downs, sound like....fishing? The heat has been like any other, in July, hot and dry. Don't plan on a limit of fish, as if you got 20 plus fish you had a good day. Someone will always argue with me but the majority had tough days, plenty big fish, but a limit takes lot of patience. I have had good days and tough days but still love my customers as they all know the up and downs. Most enjoy being on the water more than catching a limit! I have used trolling when bait was not working; and bait when trolling was not working. I am using slabs, Arigs, whatever they will hit, bite.

Fishing on Lake Texoma, past several days. I had the large stripers located while trolling, but suddenly fishing changed and I went to live bait. Changes like this costs at least one day of poor results but I expect that, and change before poor fishing continues. Getting bait at 3:30 am is not my favorite thing to do, but it worked out great, and on to fabulous catch's. I was quite surprised by the large size of fish caught on bait, but great feeling to be back on track with striper limits!
10 fish per person, 2 over 20 inches. I will be on live bait now through most fall, and until fishing slows for winter, December. Most my weekends remain booked but. Lots
Mondays thru Fridays dates open. Call for that special trip on Lake Texoma.
