Lake Texoma Restaurants Reopen

February has been an exciting month for food lovers around Lake Texoma. Early in the month Pelican’s Landing at Cedar Mills Marina opened up just in time for Valentine’s Day. Closed by the 2015 floods, the restaurant has been completely rebuilt and is ready to serve up it’s delicious food. Their new hours will be Thursdays from 4 pm to 9 pm; Friday from 11 am to 9 pm; Saturday from 8 am to 9 pm and Sunday from 8 am to 8 pm.

Poppy’s at the Point at Grandpappy Point Resort Marina reopened this week, on February 18th. Poppy’s took over management of the Point Bar and Grill just before the 2015 floods. Before they could really get settled in the rains came and they moved everything up the hill to the Pavilion. Now the full service restaurant and bar has been completely refurbished and they are all ready to start serving up delicious appetizers, salads, wings, burgers and sandwiches. Their hours are Thursday from 4:30 pm to 8 pm; Friday 11:30 am – 10 pm; Saturday from 11:30 am to 11 pm and Sunday from 11:30 am to 7 pm.

Both of these fine restaurants have been missed and we are glad to see them open once again. Accessible by boat or by land, you can relax with beautiful views of Lake Texoma while you dine.

On land, a new restaurant, 2 Amigos has opened at Tanglewood Crossing at the entrance to Tanglewood Resort and Conference Center in Pottsboro. Rave reviews from everyone who has tried this delightful Mexican Restaurant. If you are in a rush, 2 Amigos has a drive thru window for takeout.

Also located in Tanglewood Crossing, Beaches and Cream is open with their ice cream flavor of the week. Haven’t tried the Bacon Jalapeño Country Vanilla flavor yet, but if it has bacon it is has to be good! Everything on this menu is yummy whether it has bacon or not.

In downtown Pottsboro another landmark, Roma’s, celebrated their 11th anniversary in February. One bite of their fabulous Italian faire and you will know why they have been open so long. This family owned restaurant puts their heart and soul into everything they serve.

The next time you head to Lake Texoma, be sure to bring your appetite and try some of these new eateries and old favorites.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 16)

FAIR. Water stained; 62 degrees; 1.34 feet below pool. Striper fishing is hit-and-miss with the weather and winds. Watch for the gusts at the end of this week and plan your trip accordingly. Texoma gets big swells and there are several marinas to launch from on the southern edge of the lake especially as the stripers move up the Red River and Washita River with inflow. Live bait on flats and ledges in 30-45 feet of water is producing limits of box fish. Look for bigger fish to be shallow near the rivers on points and humps. Crappie are scattered in the creeks as they spawn and wrap up spawning. A few fish being caught around docks and brush in 8-12 feet of water on jigs. Look at creeks and shallow water with the warm days and rain! Bass fishing will improve with the stained water and rise in lake levels. Fish will be near rocks and gravel as the shad spawn is kicking off, as well as on docks early in the mornings. Starting to see blue catfish, channel catfish, and flathead catfish showing up. Stumps and brush on points hold flathead this time of year, blue catfish are in deeper water suspended as the shad move higher in the water column. Channels will be along the rocks on punch baits and prepared baits. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are hit-and-miss under the birds. Nice clear days are tougher, but fish are actively feeding on cloudy days with wind. Cast swimbaits to structure allowing the lure to sink then slowly roll back to the boat. Shad are spawning along the banks indicating a topwater bite will begin soon. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
