April 2010


Lake Texoma water temp is 64-70 degrees and lake elevation is 614.48 feet above sea level. The first part of April, Lake Texoma striper fishing has seen steady improvement. We're still using live bait drift fishing the 15-25 ft depth. The size of the fish has improved from the smaller males to the 16-19" good keepers and your over 20" stripers as well. Just about everywhere I've fished I am finding alot of stripers holding on the flats in 20 ft and less water.

For over a year, Striper Guides on Lake Texoma have been scrambling trying to meet the demands of the Coast Guard's requirement that they be required to have a Uninspected Vessel Captain's license.  The license in question pertains to navigable waters such as the major rivers and coastal waters.  Guides are being required to spend several thousand dollars to meet requirements that in most cases do not really pertain to Lake Texoma.  On March 24, 2010 the Coast Guard met with Senator Inhofe.  A letter was written providing clarification of the Coast Guard's intentions regarding the licensing and enforcement activities on Lake Texoma.
