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 (Mar. 26)

FAIR. Water stained; 55 degrees; 2.96 feet below pool. Striped bass are in their spawning mindset and becoming more difficult to locate big fish. Live bait on deep flats and ledges near the big mineral arm and near the bridges. Swimbaits will work shallow in creeks and on points for bigger fish that will not leave the lake to spawn. Catfishing will pick up with the rain and inflow. Look for fish shallow near the rivers and on deep flats near marinas. Large hooks with several small shad or score a big gizzard shad and fish them on the bottom. Suspended bass are in marinas near docks and in the backs of pockets. Crankbaits and chatterbaits are working along with swimbaits near structure and brush. Water temperatures will hit 60 this week. Crappie can be caught near creeks and coves on brush and structure. Fish will be roaming shallow flats in 8-12 feet of water. Jigs and minnows slip cork fish or use electronics to locate more active fish. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass have been a challenge in deep water on Alabama rigs, swimbaits and bait. Warmer days will push fish to shallower water and structure. There are tons of baitfish throughout the lake. Stipers are in the middle of the spawning season, so this can slow the bite but the bite will be aggressive as fish spawn out. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
