Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Blog

September has been busy, but I have failed to get any pictures to attach to this report, except the last couple of days. I had three trips the middle of Sept., that was on the slow side, getting the most, 16-18 fish on those trips. The fish just would not bite. I will refish those trips, although I tried my best. The last couple of days, I have gotten limits with good fish, one trip taking a while and one done in an hour.

 

 

Gary and Barb Neidenbah celebrated their anniversary catching fish on the 27th, and were off the water after we got our limit, and caught and released for a while. The catch is picking up, and I expect quick limits with good fish, through the rest of 2008. Good fishing…."J D"

September 2008: Things have started off with a bang, with some storms moving in and causing some cancellations, Hurricane Ike.

But isn't it wonderful to wake up after the storm to a clear blue sky, knowing its always a lot better? Isn't is wonderful to know when things get real tight, grace arrives? Isnt it wonderful to know you have a trip on one of the best fishing holes anywhere around here? God is Good, have a good day. "JD"

As summer ends and fall comes into play our forecast is high 83 low 47. The rest of the week and weekend will be great weather for striper fishing. The highs will be in the mid 80’s and the lows in the mid 50’s. The wind will be 10 to 15 mph out of the east. The sunrise was at 7:11 AM with the sunset at 7:31 PM giving us a total of 13 hrs and 09 min to fish for stripers. As of 8:00 AM the lake level is at 616.62 ft which is up 1.36 ft with a temperature of 80 degrees which is 8 degrees cooler than last month. The Corp of Engineers is generation on 2 units from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. As the lake continues to cool off the fishing will only get better.

 

 

We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused anyone for canceling last weekend due to the hurricane. We were under the impression that the lake was going to be to ruff for fishing and we were concerned for everyone’s safety. We have a boat open this weekend and some open next weekend if you would like to reschedule. We hope all our friends and customers faired well during the hurricane.

 

 

We are leaving the boathouse for our morning trips at 6:45 AM. This gives the guide’s time to get the customers out there ready for that first morning top water action. Our afternoon trips are leaving out at 2:00 PM and with the full moon this week afternoon fishing should be great.

As August came to an end we fished a total of 263 people and they brought a total of 1887 stripers to the cleaning table. Pro Build came to fish with us on August 7th in the afternoon bringing 13 people and a total of 130 stripers to the cleaning table. Smiley Alcantar brought 8 people and fished with us for two days. His group brought in a total of 130 stripers to the cleaning table both days together. Leonard Herring came to fish with us and brought 7 people. His group brought in a total of 70 stripers to the cleaning table. We have also had a total of 33 sand bass and catfish being caught.

   After a hot summer and a few weeks rest, the month of September finds me back to daily striper fishing on Lake Texoma. With the unusually cool days the end of last month and the cloudy and misty days from the outlying remnants of the hurricane, the fish have turned on with a fury. We are still finding alot of stripers working bait on the surface. Sometimes they are on the small side but the ferocity of their taking the bait makes for fun Burning a slab through a school of them will get you good hits and occasionally a big one will try and yank your pole out of your hands.
