Lake Texoma striper fishing this past 10 days has definately changed for the better. The current lake level is at 620.72 with a water temperature of 63 degrees. We are seeing a lot of seagulls, egrets and blue herrings working bait which makes for easy pickings. As of now I am using live bait (Threadfin Shad) but we have also had some good catches on Sassy Shad lures. Some of the schools of fish I have set up on have been blowing up on the surface. I have mainly been fishing the shallow flats, 15-25 feet of water, but a couple of days I have fished in 70 feet of water with excellent results.

Good fishing, some small, but getting all over 20s also. Had lots of fun, with weather clearing a little. Using live shad, anchored, with some drift fishing. Weekend beginning to get busy with other boater, skiers, speed boats, etc., causing some distractions, and scattering fish, but thats life.

Malone Williamson group, had a good time until the high winds ran us off. It was catch and release, but someone kept a few for a little snack later.


Jason, Eric, Bobby and I fought the winds til the fish prevailed, Sunday, giving us a limit of good fish, and a good time. Fish biting on bait, and while anchored if you can get the anchor to hold in the wind.

 

Well for three from Nebraska, who spent more time waiting for the rain to stop, just to be faced with poor results; for the two who spent two days, long lining, in coves to escape the high winds; to the 5 who went with me in the worse waves I have seen in some time; to the four from nearby, who fought the fog with me, just to hide in a cove to escape boats running too fast in the fog; I ask you to return for a free day, even tho I worked hard, and stayed long, but still feel this is the best fishing hole in the country.  April 5, it all came together, as four arrived to beautiful weather, fish biting bait, and limiting on some small, and some large 7-8 pounders fish.   I just love fishermen, as they all like being on the water, accepting the results, and understand its not all about just catching fish.

This past couple of Spring Break Weeks we have seen alot more fishermen along with pleasure boaters out enjoying the beauty of Lake Texoma. The current lake level is at 618.44 with a water temperature of 55 degrees. We have had a couple of tough fishing days and a couple of rough weather days but overall we have had some great Spring Break striper fishing. With the warmer days water temperature is steadily getting warmer, putting the fish in a better mood or at least getting them in a biting mood.
