Preston Point Comes Alive For The 2013 Season on Lake Texoma




We've looked at the history of Preston TX, and examined some future plans for the area, too. But what's happening right now? What do you have to look forward to when you drive up Hwy 289 and look around? Well, for one thing, you'll probably be surprised, especially if you haven't visited the area in a while. Things are happening, for sure. The Happy Cajun is an established restaurant that's just been entirely remodeled. It's open from 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM now, and there's an Official Grand opening scheduled for Friday, April 19th. The Happy Cajun's page on Facebook is a great place to see photos of its new look, and to keep posted on events. Radio station KLAK will be doing a live remote broadcast from the restaurant from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM. And then Cody O'Neill and the Crosswind Band will be playing live out on the patio from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM as well. Lots going on, so don't miss it. Lighthouse Resort and Marina is expanding, too. There are forty-five cabins for rent, and some for sale, too. Some have been recently remodeled for the 2013 summer season, so call 903.786.2311 to get your reservations. And if you're bringing along your family dog, be sure and ask about the pet-friendly cabins. All cabins are fully furnished with fully cable television, towels, linens, basic dishes, cookware and utensils, a BBQ grill, refrigerator, coffee pot, and most have a microwave oven. If you need to arrange for slip rental during your stay, it's available on a first-come-first-served basis. Pontoon boats, sailboats and kayaks are available for rent, as well as canoes, paddle boats and tubes for the whole family. The RV park has 30 & 50 amp hookups, a dump station and a park-like grassy area right next the water, including picnic tables for all campers. About twenty striper and catfish guides work out of Lighthouse Marina, so you can arrange for a great day (or more) of fishing even if you don't own a boat. And afterwards, if you're not having a fish fry, Dreamland Catering can bring in a BBQ wagon and serve your fishing party or cabin groups by calling 903-361-0504 for a reservation.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 5)

FAIR. Water stained; 48 degrees; 1.71 feet below pool. Striper fishing has slowed down with the water levels dropping and the extreme change in weather. Look at humps, ledges, and structure in 15-30 feet of water, as well as deep water on ledges and river channels in 55–65 feet of water, using flukes while drifting to cover water. Look for bigger fish to move up into coves and shallow water, chasing big gizzard shad throughout the day. Crappie are on brush and structure in 18–25 feet of water, but target shallower water on warmer days as fish start to move toward creeks and coves on the lake. To target bass, focus on rocks and structures that hold baitfish in warmer water. Use a slow presentation, covering different depths off drop-offs and ledges in 8–15 feet of water. Catfishing is picking up. Look for big blues in shallow water near river inlets, especially with the recent rains and big gizzard shad pulling into the muddy, warmer water. Anchor fish with gizzard shad and cut heads off the bottom in 5–15 feet of water. In creek channels off flats, drift fish in 20–30 feet of water. .Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are excellent on structure in 10-25 feet of water with Alabama rigs and swimbaits. Some fish can be caught deadsticking. There is no bird action. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
