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 (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.
