Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Blog

Lake Texoma's pool elevation is 618.02.It is still slowly dropping back to normal levels. With the flood gated releasing around the 9800 cubic feet per second (cfs) compared to the 25-20,000 cfs range fishing has definatley picked up. The fishing is good all day with bigger fish being caught in the morning and a lot of short chunky fish in the afternoon. Almost all the fish I've been catching this past week have been taken from the shallows and flats which is typical for where they should be this time of year. I've found fish just about everywhere I've looked, definately a good sign. The stripers on Lake Texoma have finally bunched up into large schools which makes for easy pickings.

 After the full moon on the 28th, we are still using 1/2 ounce Cojo Minnows with three inch body, 1/2 ounce Sassy Shad with a 3 inch body in the Glow or White colors and 3" Chug Bugs.  Remember the trick to using these baits is to retrieve it fast as soon as it hits the surface of the water.  Reel it in keeping the lure right near the surface of the water.  Alot of the fish we are catching are on the small side but are very aggressive.  You can work these schools of smaller Lake Texoma stripers and find some good sized box fish along with some good sized sand bass.
