Lake Texoma Fishing Report for May 17, 2012




Lake Texoma has water temperatures in the 70s, which cause fish to be hungry, and active. You can catch them with live bait, or artificial, and in large schools. We are leaving the docks at sunup, or 2 in the evenings, and catching limits of good size fish, as well as the box fish, those under 20 inches. You are allowed 10 fish per person, and 2 over 20 inches. You need a lake texoma fishing license which you can get at several locations, $12 for a year, that cheap enough, I suggest a small cooler with drinks and snacks, and come prepared for a great day of fishing on lake Texoma. There are numerous locations for lodging, food, and entertainment as Texoma has it all. Charter costs are very reasonable, for all the fun and fish you catch. This is the "Striper Capital of the World", and you will find out why it is named that, where you charter your next trip. www.striperfish.com

Fishing Report from TPWD (Feb. 5)

FAIR. Water stained; 48 degrees; 1.71 feet below pool. Striper fishing has slowed down with the water levels dropping and the extreme change in weather. Look at humps, ledges, and structure in 15-30 feet of water, as well as deep water on ledges and river channels in 55–65 feet of water, using flukes while drifting to cover water. Look for bigger fish to move up into coves and shallow water, chasing big gizzard shad throughout the day. Crappie are on brush and structure in 18–25 feet of water, but target shallower water on warmer days as fish start to move toward creeks and coves on the lake. To target bass, focus on rocks and structures that hold baitfish in warmer water. Use a slow presentation, covering different depths off drop-offs and ledges in 8–15 feet of water. Catfishing is picking up. Look for big blues in shallow water near river inlets, especially with the recent rains and big gizzard shad pulling into the muddy, warmer water. Anchor fish with gizzard shad and cut heads off the bottom in 5–15 feet of water. In creek channels off flats, drift fish in 20–30 feet of water. .Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are excellent on structure in 10-25 feet of water with Alabama rigs and swimbaits. Some fish can be caught deadsticking. There is no bird action.
