Fishing Report from TPWD (Aug. 6)

GOOD. Water stained; 79 degrees; 1.42 feet above pool. Things are picking up, especially on the weekdays when crowds are gone. There's an early morning topwater bite when shad are on the surface in the main part of the lake. Use pencil poppers and other topwater lures to catch stripers feeding on them. After they go down, start looking for fish on the grass using slabs to catch big groups of stripers surfacing in deep water anywhere from 30-60 feet deep. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Striper fishing is getting better every day on lures. They're moving fast and seeing schooling fish on the surface with the right conditions. Topwaters, swimbaits and slabs are working. Look at river ledges and channels for suspended fish on the main lake. Catfishing is good on punch bait and cut shad. Channels are on humps and points near stumps in 20-30 feet of water. Eater blues are roaming the lake in big schools all over the deep water. Crappie fishing look at docks and brush in 15-20 feet of water using jigs, minnows or small shad. Use electronics to locate active fish and structure near the mouths of creeks and coves. Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing throw topwaters early along the rock banks and off main lake points. Fish have plenty of forage so fish for a reaction strike throughout the day near docks and brush. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service.
