Lake Texoma Fishing Report for May 2012




May has been a really good month for fishing on Lake Texoma. Not only because there is abundant shad, the primary food of the striper bass, but also because I am getting all our over 20 inch fish, as well as box fish, to make each trip a limit for all my customers. Not only are we getting our limits, we are placing back a lot of big fish, as there are so much more of them than there has been in years. Memorial weekend saw a huge influx of boat traffic for our visitor, and no problem with the fishermen as we were completed with our fishing trips before heavy traffic hit the lake. The weather has been beautiful; our lake is full, and fishing is great. There are lots of places to get lodging on Lake Texoma, as long as you make reservations in a timely manner. Heading into June, I have a 10 boat trip out, of Little Mineral, hoping for clear skies and dry weather, with minimal winds. Seems I want it all just right, and it is most of the times this time of the year. (tongue-in-cheek) On the bank this morning, waiting for rains to stop so I can head out (30th). Anyway head this way for all your lake outings, as it dont get any better! Good Fishing.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jan. 15)

GOOD. Water stained; 53 degrees; 0.35 feet above pool. Striper fishing is great with the drop in water temperatures. Lures have really started producing, deadsticking flukes along river channels and deep flats in 40-60 feet of water or swimbaits on structure, ledges and humps in 20-35 feet of water. Slow down your approach and stick with fish if you’re getting bit and marking them as they turn on longer into a drift. Trophy fish are showing up and all the fish are healthy! Catfishing remains tough with the drop in water temps. Target big blues moving up in creeks and near the rivers with whole gizzard shad anchored up in 5-15 feet of water. Drift flats near the river channel in 30-50 feet of water. Crappie are holding deep in 20-30 feet of water on humps and ledges with brush and structure. Jigs with a tipped minnow fishing vertically in the brush. Electronics make it easier to spot fish but it doesn’t make them eat! Bass fishing slowed with the water temps dropping but look for fish to move up in coves and near docks on sunny days. Shaky head or a swim jig on drop-offs near stumps in 8-15 feet of water. Look for brush and stumps fish that will be holding close to Texas rigged plastics as well. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass continue to be good with Alabama rigs or sassy shad on structure in 15-25 feet of water. When this bite ends, the bigger fish are being caught under the birds in deeper water deadsticking or with Alabama rigs. This bite is typically around the last hour of sunlight. The deadsticking bite is really picking up. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
