The water temps have hit the low 60's and that means free lining shad for big bass! In a recent scout trip we landed 40+ mostly smallmout bass but a few largemouth mixed in. This is one of the most addictive things you can do on Lake Texoma. You can pull up to about any rocky point on the lake and catch a smallmouth. I'll be offering smallmouth trips through the month of April maybe the first part of May, depending on water temps.

Everything is starting to fire up. The next month will be awesome

The weather is warming and spring break has past. The striper bite has been good as they are starting to move up the rivers to spawn. We are seeing big fish stage up as they get ready to run up river and a good amount of fish have already moved up. These fish should start moving back into the lake any day and they will be hungry! Live shad has been good but casting or trolling 4 inch sassy shads have been the top producer. As these striper move back to the lake the live bait bite will get better and opportunities for a topwater bite isn't far off.

Fishing has been tough all over the lake in the mornings, but afternoons have been fantastic. The birds have been working down by the dam between 2pm- 5:30pm, there are small stripers feeding at the surface, but the big stripers are underneath them. The larger stripers are taking advantage of the wounded and dead shad that the small stripers are leaving behind.

The fishing is tough as the lake flooded blood red, and no oxygen in water to stir up stripers! We tried our best with live bait and artificial but still tough! Lots catfish tho!

The Stripers are preparing for the spring spawn, so they are fattening up for the run. We are looking for birds circling over large schools of Stripers that are feeding on shad they have pushed to the surface. The bite has been aggressive on both live bait and artificial white slabs. Lake Texoma has the most generous limit in the state of 10 fish per person. Give us a call and reserve your date to experience the fishing at Lake Texoma; the Striper capital of the world!

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!
