Legendary Fall Fishing is Here - Lake Texoma Fishing Guides Report




Fall striper fishing on Lake Texoma is "the best of the best": - Ron Shelton.

"We come a lot, but always in October, November and December for the big fish!"  Shelton said.  Ron, from Ewing Irrigation, entertains his clients with striper fishing on Lake Texoma several times a year.

Lake Texoma Fishing Guide Chris Carey (below):  Many serious anglers agree that October, November and December are their favorite Lake Texoma striper fishing months.  While lots of people are deer hunting, this select group is on Texoma, catching big stripers.

Texoma Stripers Bite All Day For my money striped bass are the strongest fighting fish in freshwater.  Originally a coastal ocean species, they are most comfortable in the cool water (around 66 degress) that October, November and December provide.  This time of year Texoma stripers bite from early till late.

They are voracious feeders, thrashing shad and putting on weight straight through the Fall months.

The all-day bite pays benefits for fall anglers in a variety of ways.  We currently run our charters from about 10:30AM till well into the afternoon.

Oklahoma and North Texas anglers can get up at a normal time.  They drive to the Lake and still catch fish till their arms are sore!  An added benefit of the mid-day start is viewing the clear, sunny beauty of this area.

Fall Brings A Secret Weapon

Trad in your sonar.  Fall brings us the best striper finder available!  Thousands of seagulls migrate to Lake Texoma and make it their winter home.  Just like striper, a seagull's favortie meal is shad - a minnow-like baitfish.

Seagulls can spot the silver flash of baitfish deep in the water and will fly circles over the area.  From below, the stripers will herd shad, pushing them to the surface where a striper/seagull feeding frenzy begins.  With a good pair of binoculars you can see the birds flying from quite a distance.  If you see the seagulls circling and diving...well then you've found yourself a hoard of the infamous Lake Texoma stripers.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 2)

FAIR. Water stained; 60 degrees; 2.98 feet below pool. Target striped bass on structure, ledges and humps in 15-35 feet of water with swimbaits. Fish are roaming deep flats in 40-55 feet of water, with good numbers anchoring up with live bait. Crappie fishing will pick up with the rains and look for fish to move towards creeks. Bigger fish will be roaming 8-12 feet on flats and numbers will be on brush and structure in the mouths of coves and creeks. Jigs and minnows. Bass are near creeks and docks on crankbaits and jerkbaits. Fish will be in small schools, so spend time in a spot you catch one. Spawning fish will be moving up with the inflow and warmer temperature. Catfishing is slow as fish have scattered and they have plenty of bait to eat. Look for numbers in deeper water along ledges on whole shad. Bigger fish will move up with the inflow. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are active under the birds. Fish on the structure are hitting Alabama rigs or swimbaits, and open water fish can be caught with live bait or swimbaits. The spawn is in full swing. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
