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 (Dec. 31)

GOOD. Water stained; 53 degrees; 0.97 feet above pool. Striper fishing is excellent, with milder temperatures lingering and fish continuing to take live bait exceptionally well. They’re being found on deep flats and ledges in 35-60 feet of water. Soft plastics are also working and will become even more effective as the temperatures drop. Keep an eye out for gulls on the main lake and pelicans in the coves to locate active fish. Fish are very healthy and full of shad heading into the colder months. Catfishing has slowed as fish move toward the rivers with the inflow of water. Drift flats in 25-45 feet of water using gizzard shad or cut rough fish. Smaller blues are still schooled along the bluffs in 30-50 feet of water. Use your electronics to locate active crappie on brush and structure near coves and points in 18-25 feet of water. Hair jigs and small shad will produce great results. For bass fishing, look for fish moving off points to secondary ledges and humps. Use plastics and slow-moving baits off the banks in 8-15 feet of water. On sunny days, target rocky coves, as bass will pull up to feed in the warmer shallows. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good with Alabama rigs or swimbaits in 10-15 feet of water, and deadsticking in deeper water. Birds are working most days. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
