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 (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.
