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 (Nov. 20)

GOOD. Water stained; 69 degrees; 1.69 feet below pool. Striper fishing is great on live bait and lures. Topwaters are landing bites early along sandy points and creeks. Cast swimbaits under the birds working or on structure in 15-20 feet of water. Live bait is producing limits of fish on ledges in 30-40 feet of water. Catfishing is great on cut shad and whole gizzard shad. Look near the rivers and off the river channels on deep flats 30-40 feet of water. Big blues are starting to show up. Crappie fishing is picking up. Use jigs and small shad under dock floats and along the tops of brush piles in 6-12 feet of water. Electronics help locate active fish suspended throughout the brush. Bass fishing will continue to improve as temperatures drop and water levels rise. Look for bass to be more active, chasing baits and making more mistakes. Try Alabama rigs with flukes and hard baits off the banks towards the middle of shallow coves and near docks in 5-12 feet of water. Use electronics to locate brush and structure bait will be holding on with bigger bass roaming the ledges. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are excellent with slabs and swimbaits along the ledges and drop-offs. When there is bird action follow the birds and beneath. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Crappie are excellent on brush piles in 8-25 feet of water with the best bite on ⅛ ounce jig, and tipping the jig with minnows. This pattern will be consistent until the water reaches the upper 50s. Report by River Bottom Boys Guide Service.
