Lake Texoma Fishing Report for December 22, 2015




2015 is closing with a history of none others in years.   I have fished this lake for 22 years, and 2015 has been the toughest.   Not withstanding the floods, discolored water, winds, and now cold, I still stick right where I am, not going to below the dam for fish or other lakes.   Call it being hard headed, I enjoy the challenge, although I can testify, there were times I wish I had, not really.  I guess last year was the best in my career, for big fish and limits quick.  I changed to long lining (trolling) and with unbrella rigs, and found I like it better than any other method I have used in the years as a guide on this lake.  It has been real tough at times, even making a grown man cry, but it fishing, not catching, which holds my interest.   Beginning this month, right before my vacation in January, things have started to improve fast.   I look for trips when I can produce lots of fish and big ones, so it looks like it starting... I would suggest you get ready and give me a call when you can make it here......Looking forward to hearing from you....CrossCreek Guide Service......903-786=3981  www.striperfish.com....JD

Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 20)

GOOD. Water stained; 69 degrees; 1.69 feet below pool. Striper fishing is great on live bait and lures. Topwaters are landing bites early along sandy points and creeks. Cast swimbaits under the birds working or on structure in 15-20 feet of water. Live bait is producing limits of fish on ledges in 30-40 feet of water. Catfishing is great on cut shad and whole gizzard shad. Look near the rivers and off the river channels on deep flats 30-40 feet of water. Big blues are starting to show up. Crappie fishing is picking up. Use jigs and small shad under dock floats and along the tops of brush piles in 6-12 feet of water. Electronics help locate active fish suspended throughout the brush. Bass fishing will continue to improve as temperatures drop and water levels rise. Look for bass to be more active, chasing baits and making more mistakes. Try Alabama rigs with flukes and hard baits off the banks towards the middle of shallow coves and near docks in 5-12 feet of water. Use electronics to locate brush and structure bait will be holding on with bigger bass roaming the ledges. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are excellent with slabs and swimbaits along the ledges and drop-offs. When there is bird action follow the birds and beneath. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Crappie are excellent on brush piles in 8-25 feet of water with the best bite on ⅛ ounce jig, and tipping the jig with minnows. This pattern will be consistent until the water reaches the upper 50s. Report by River Bottom Boys Guide Service.
