March 2015




March and Spring break has been a really great month for fishing on Lake Texoma. Usually high winds and rain, this year it has been lots of rain, and some cold days.   Most days the lake has been completely calm, the nicest March I have seen in years.    I have still been very successful each trip in getting lots of fish, and lots of big fish.   So far with lots of 17-18-19 pound fish, we are also getting 20s.    There is a challenge each trip as the fish are sometimes in 50feet of water, then I catch them in the 18-20 feet range.   The water temp is of course different at different locations but range in the 53 degree range, surface temp.  I even had the break where I got to take out my grandchilderen and they had a ball.   Fishing is great so get that trip booked, as I do morning and evening trips, both with very similar results.   The BLT Striper tournament is coming up soon, so try your luck, or is it skill.   I have come close to winning it three times, and if it was on a point system, I would be leading...  I think April 4, we will win it, as I have been catching too many big fish.   Good Fishing JD

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 58 degrees; 1.53 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is great drifting live shad around the islands or past the bridges near the rivers. Rain should finish off the spawn and look for bait on the banks with feeding fish near them. Top waters are working on sandy flats in 2-8 feet of water. Smallmouth bass are good on live shad along the bluffs on the banks in 2-4 feet of water. Also fair on spooks early and look for largemouth off the banks in 6-12 feet of water on main lake points near rocks. Catfish are fair on cut shad along the rocks in 30-45 feet of water. Drifting cut rough fish or gizzard shad in 5-10 feet of water near the river could produce a big fish after a rain with an inflow of dirty water. Crappie are good on brush piles in 12-18 feet of water on jigs using electronics to locate active fish working in and out of the brush. Look for spawners shallow with warmer temperatures in the forecast. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Threadfin shad are spawning along the banks. Hybrid stripers are good on topwaters in the morning along rocky banks. Some days the egrets are working leading the way to fish. Some schooling activity under gulls. After the morning bite ends switch to swimbaits and Alabama rigs in 10-25 feet of water on the edges and dropoffs. This pattern should hold for the next 4-6 weeks while shad spawn near docks and banks. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
