FAIR. Water stained; 55 degrees; 2.96 feet below pool. Striped bass are in their spawning mindset and becoming more difficult to locate big fish. Live bait on deep flats and ledges near the big mineral arm and near the bridges. Swimbaits will work shallow in creeks and on points for bigger fish that will not leave the lake to spawn. Catfishing will pick up with the rain and inflow. Look for fish shallow near the rivers and on deep flats near marinas. Large hooks with several small shad or score a big gizzard shad and fish them on the bottom. Suspended bass are in marinas near docks and in the backs of pockets. Crankbaits and chatterbaits are working along with swimbaits near structure and brush. Water temperatures will hit 60 this week. Crappie can be caught near creeks and coves on brush and structure. Fish will be roaming shallow flats in 8-12 feet of water. Jigs and minnows slip cork fish or use electronics to locate more active fish. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass have been a challenge in deep water on Alabama rigs, swimbaits and bait. Warmer days will push fish to shallower water and structure. There are tons of baitfish throughout the lake. Stipers are in the middle of the spawning season, so this can slow the bite but the bite will be aggressive as fish spawn out. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
