  • Lake Texoma Fishing Report: Stripers, Crappie, and Catfish Biting Strong

    Lake Texoma Fishing Report: Stripers, Crappie, and Catfish Biting Strong
    Sep 26 2024
    If you're planning to hit Lake Texoma today, here’s what you need to know:

    First off, the lake's elevation is at 616.18 feet, which is a bit below pool level, and the water temperature is hovering around 81-83°F. The water is stained, but that's not deterring the fish.

    Weather-wise, expect increasing clouds with a high of 95°F today and a chance of thunderstorms tonight. Sunrise was at about 7:20 AM, and sunset will be around 7:30 PM.

    Fish activity has been quite lively. Striped bass fishing has been good, especially in the shallower areas. These fish are schooled up and moving fast near ledges and ditches, so using live bait in 25-40 feet of water, just off the bottom, is a good tactic. You can also try drifting live bait and bouncing slabs in 8-15 feet of water on the sand flats. As the water cools, striped bass are starting to relate to shallow water in the tributaries and coves, so topwaters in the morning and slabs as you move deeper are effective.

    Crappie are starting to turn on as the water temperatures drop. Look for them around brush piles in 15-20 feet of water using crappie minnows and small chartreuse jigs. As the lake starts to turn over, darker colors might be more effective.

    Bass fishing is a bit challenging due to the abundance of shad, but you can find them around boulders and shaded banks in 8-12 feet of water. Use electronics to locate structure and stumps, as bigger bass are roaming for larger gizzard shad.

    For catfish, punch baits and cut shad are working well on main lake points and ditches in 15-25 feet of water. Blue, channel, and flathead catfish are also biting on dough bait, live shad, and stinkbait around channels, coves, and points.

    Hot spots include the river ledges, especially where they intersect with the main lake, and the shallow flats east of North Island. The areas around Juniper Point and the mouths of creeks are also worth a try.

    In terms of lures, for striped bass, use slabs, live shad, and topwaters. For crappie, minnows and small jigs are the way to go. For bass, topwaters like poppers, frogs, and flukes are good early in the morning, switching to light Texas rig worms as the sun rises. For catfish, stick with punch baits, cut shad, and dough bait.

    Overall, it's a great time to be out on Lake Texoma, so grab your gear and make the most of it.

  • Lake Texoma Fishing Report: Stripers, Crappie, and Catfish Biting in Ideal Conditions

    Lake Texoma Fishing Report: Stripers, Crappie, and Catfish Biting in Ideal Conditions
    Sep 24 2024
    ### Lake Texoma Daily Fishing Report - September 24, 2024

    As the sun rises over Lake Texoma on this crisp September morning, anglers are in for a treat. Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip today.

    ### Weather Conditions
    The weather is partly sunny with a high of 82 degrees and a low of 64 degrees tonight. Expect a gentle breeze with wind speeds around 5-7 mph, and there is a slight chance of rain showers later in the evening. These conditions are ideal for a comfortable day on the water.

    ### Water Conditions
    The lake level is currently at 615.66 feet, which is 1.34 feet below pool. The water temperature is around 75 degrees, and the clarity is slightly stained. This setup is perfect for targeting various fish species.

    ### Fishing Spots and Recommendations

    #### Striped Bass
    Striper fishing is good, with fish schooled up and moving fast near ledges and ditches. Use live bait in 25-40 feet of water, adjusting as the fish move through. For shallow flats, try drifting live bait and bouncing slabs in 8-15 feet of water on sand flats. Topwater plugs are effective in the early mornings and late evenings when fish are surfacing. According to local guide Jacob Orr of Guaranteed Guide Service, "Start fishing with topwaters in shallow water then gradually work out to deep water with slabs."

    #### Crappie
    Crappie fishing is improving as the water cools off. Look for fish suspended in brush in 12-15 feet of water using minnows and dark-colored jigs. Target brush piles in 7-25 feet of water with ⅛ ounce jig heads tipped with minnows. River Bottom Boys Guide Service recommends focusing on the outside edges of timber lines and open water main lake timber under the surface.

    #### Catfish
    Catfishing remains excellent, with eater-size channels and blues biting on punch baits and cut shad. Target shallow humps and points in 15-25 feet of water. As the thermocline disappears with the lake turnover, bigger fish will steadily show up on the deeper flats.

    #### Bass
    Bass fishing is a bit slower due to the abundance of bait, but you can still catch them. Use hard baits early and plastics late on main lake points and 8-15 foot humps. Look for fish around boulders and on shaded banks in 8-12 feet of water. Local angler ChrisC from the Six Old Geezers forum suggests, "Fish are relating to flats and ledges 12-25 feet, and a few are on swim bait."

    ### Local Events and Regulations
    There are no major local events today, but remember the zebra mussel alert: it is mandatory to drain water from boats and onboard receptacles when leaving or approaching public fresh waters. Catch limits and regulations remain standard, so ensure you check the latest guidelines from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

    ### Best Times for Fishing
    The best times for fishing today are early mornings and late evenings when the striped bass are most active. For crappie and catfish, midday to late afternoon can be productive, especially around structure and brush piles.

    With these tips and conditions in mind, you’re set for a successful and enjoyable day of fishing at Lake Texoma. Tight lines

  • Fishing Report for Lake Texoma's Transitioning Autumn Season

    Fishing Report for Lake Texoma's Transitioning Autumn Season
    Sep 23 2024
    As of September 23, 2024, Lake Texoma is offering some exciting fishing opportunities, despite the transitioning weather conditions.

    **Current Weather and Water Conditions:**
    The water temperature is around 75 degrees, with the lake level at 0.97 feet below pool. The water is stained, which can be beneficial for certain types of fishing. The air temperature is expected to be in the mid-70s to low 80s, with a gentle breeze of about 5-10 mph and no significant precipitation forecasted.

    **Fishing Spots and Recommendations:**
    - **Striped Bass:** Fishing for striped bass is good, with most catches in 30 feet of water or less. Use live shad on flats and across river channels. As the lake cools, look for fish to stack up on ledges. Big fish are scattered in shallow water during early mornings and late evenings. Topwaters in shallow water and slabs in deeper water are effective.
    - **Crappie:** Crappie fishing should improve as the water cools. Target fish suspended in brush in 12-15 feet of water using minnows and dark-colored jigs. Electronics can help locate active fish under docks midday.
    - **Catfish:** Catfishing remains great, with eater-size channels and blues biting on punch baits and cut shad. Target shallow humps and points in 15-25 feet of water. Bigger fish will be roaming the deeper flats as the thermocline disappears.
    - **Bass:** Bass fishing is slower due to the abundance of bait, but using hard baits early and plastics late on main lake points and 8-15 foot humps can yield results.

    **Tips from Local Anglers and Guides:**
    According to Jacob Orr of Guaranteed Guide Service, "Start looking for fish to stack up on ledges as the lake cools off. Big fish will be scattered in shallow water during early mornings and late evenings." John Blasingame of Adventure Texoma Outdoors suggests starting with topwaters in shallow water and gradually working out to deep water with slabs.

    **Best Times for Fishing:**
    Early mornings and late evenings are the best times to catch the bigger fish, especially for striped bass and catfish. For crappie, midday under docks can be productive.

    **Local Events and Regulations:**
    Remember to drain water from boats and onboard receptacles to prevent the spread of zebra mussels. There are no major local events or closures reported, but always check with local authorities for any updates on catch limits or restrictions. Additionally, help protect Lake Texoma by not releasing carp back into the water and reporting bighead and silver carp catches to the Oklahoma or Texas Wildlife Departments.

    With these conditions and tips, you're set for a productive and enjoyable day of fishing at Lake Texoma. Good luck on the water
