Conditions
: LAKE TEXOMA: GOOD. Water stained; 75 degrees; 1.45 feet above pool. Striped bass fishing is decent with water temperatures rising and fish moving quickly feeding on the surface and in big school in deep water. Live bait, slabs or topwaters along river channels and flats in 30-50 feet of water. Look for suspended fish above the thermocline. Crappie fishing is slow using jigs on brush piles and in docks. Look in 15-20 feet of water with minnows and crappie nibbles. Seeing fish on electronics near the bottoms of the piles. Catfishing remains good seeing channel catfish and blue catfish coming off flats and shallow points in 10-20 feet of water using punch baits and cut shad. Bass fishing is slow with topwaters early and slow soft plastics throughout the day on structure and near docks. Shaded areas later in the day and look for fish to feed at dark. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Stripers are good with slabs fishing under the smaller topwater fish in 30-60 feet of water in the middle of the lake. Some anglers are landing catches with live bait and trolling. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Reported by: |
