Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 9)

FAIR. Water stained; 60 degrees; 2.12 feet below pool. Striper fishing is about to break loose on live bait as we get closer to the shad spawn and the water temps hitting 60. Plenty of fish being caught on flats and ledges in 25-45 feet of water, bigger fish will hopefully finish their spawn this weekend with the full moon. Find dirty warmer water near the ends of the lake and look at points in shallow water for spawning fish. Look for crappie in the creeks with inflow and watch the rising water temps this week. Fish will be on shallow flats and points near spawning areas, jigs and minnows are productive. Dark colors in muddy water, light colors near docks and structure in clear water. Catfishing is up and down with the weather and lake levels. Fish flats off of the river channels in 25-45 feet of water with whole shad or rough fish. Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing is picking up. Look for brush and structure near docks and marinas, fish will be staged up and reactive to hard baits or plastics. Water temperatures will climb quickly this week as we get near the full moon and warmer days. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. The lake is on the rise, so navigate with caution watching for floating debris. Striped bass are good with swimbaits on structure in 3-25 feet of water. When birds are active, cast swimbaits into the schooling stripers beneath in 30-70 feet of water. The slab bite will start soon. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
