Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 4)

GOOD. Water stained; 75 degrees; 0.78 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is getting better every day with the cooler weather. Fish are schooled up, moving fast in big groups near the river channel on the north end of the lake and near the railroad bridge. Fishing with live shad, slabs, and topwaters, we’re still seeing better fish under the schoolies in 40-50 feet of water, suspended. Crappie fishing is slow on jigs near docks and on brush piles. Use electronics to locate active fish near the tops of the brush. Minnows and small shad on a hook with a split shot are working for fish in 12-20 feet of water near points and creeks. Catfishing remains good for eating-size blues and channels on punch bait and prepared baits in 20-25 feet of water on main lake points and humps on flats. Bass fishing is slow, with a lot of fish near docks and in the shade midday. A reaction bait or topwaters early, and soft plastics midday, are best. Use electronics to locate brush and structure where fish will be staging, near the backs of creeks and on main lake points. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Striped bass are good with a slab bite one day and the next on topwaters. As the weather cools bigger fish continue to move to shallow water. Expect to land bigger fish shallow with pencil poppers, moving to deeper water for box fish with slabs. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
