The Sheihing’s Story

Dwain and Shannon Sheihing moved to our beautiful and bountiful Lake Texoma from their farm on the outskirts of Austin because Austin is a crowded mess these days. Plus, they wanted to remain in Texas. The couple was like ships passing in the night due to their hectic work schedules and farm chores.

The Sheihings wanted a place where they could work and live together. They chose to buy the almost empty Gone Fishing RV Resort for that purpose. This RV park had witnessed unprofessional management for approximately the last three years, after filling up its RV sites for most of its history.

Dwain and Shannon are committed to further enhancing the resort with additional landscaping, additional rental services, and an expanded inventory of Texas-made goods. Bring your dogs.

The Sheihings came from farming stock, and they plan to continue their heritage and their love for Texas right here in Texomaland. The Sheihings have invested much love into their park’s property.

Guests can expect a warm Texomaland welcome and a rejuvenating escape. They have remodeled the park’s existing structures into beautiful laundry and shower facilities and added services like watersports rentals and an apartment.

Dwain and Shannon want to do so much more. They are not done yet!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 18)

GOOD. Water stained; 55 degrees; 0.73 feet above pool. Striper fishing is a little tougher with the full moon and warming conditions. Watch for gulls on cloudy days working the river channels and ledges. Fish are roaming deeper water in big schools, biting swimbaits and live shad. Bigger fish will move up on structure with the next cold front, settling in 8–12 feet of water on humps and ledges. Look for crappie on bridge pilings and structure in 15–20 feet of water with jigs and minnows. Bass can be caught with soft plastics on structure and brush in 8–15 feet of water. Bass will push up into coves and around docks, feeding on shad. Swim jigs and crankbaits will work off ledges and on humps. Catfishing is good. Drift cut gizzard shad and rough fish on deeper flats in 30–40 feet of water near river mouths in muddier water. Bigger fish will move up shallower as the water cools. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good transitioning to a deadstick bite and using Alabama rigs. Smaller fish are in 10-15 feet on structure with slabs, swimbaits or Alabama rigs. Bird action will lead the way to the deeper fish, but on bluebird days the birds are working at first and last light. The quality of fish is improving but we are still not seeing the big fish in bigger groups like what is typically for this time of year, but expect this to improve as the water cools. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
