October at Texoma




This has been a very awesome year for striper fishing on beautiful Lake Texoma. I am still fishing the same way, and doubt I will change since it works.   I guess I do my best with bigger fish, as artificial seems to bag the larger fish.   If you dont like to troll for big fish,  and want to catch a lot of small fish, I am not your man.   Yesterday with 4 people, whereas we alternate after every fish, we brought in 8 fish, between 8 to 5 lbs each, with a total of 26 fish.   We do not get a limit as we have to throw back some big fish, as there is a 2 fish over 20 inches per fisherman.   Also most small fish are so skinny, there is not much meat, and even it is mushy.   Our lake seems to be turning over, which leaves a grayish tent, but does not have anything to do with the quality of the filets.   My time on the water is getting limited, as suffering from an ole football injury as a kid, and will probably go into the hospital for a new left knee.    With the fall period upon us, you will find the eagles moving in, which is a wonderful site, along the edges or points of the lake.   There is not a lot of fishing going on during the winter, although stripers bite the entire year, with some times better than others.   I will probably be out of business for a while, after my surgery, but all in all, I look forward to some time on the bank, and sitting around, playing with our three Bostons, who do not realize they are not humans.   Have a good fall, and hope God blesses you in whatever endeavor you choose.......CrossCreek Guide Service....JD

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 63 degrees; 1.32 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is great on live shad in 30-40 feet of water on main lake points and ledges. Top waters working early around rocky banks, be on the lookout for white birds on the banks early. It will only get better as the striper finish their spawn and the shad start theirs. Crappie fishing is good on brush piles using jigs in 14-18 feet of water. Electronics help locate active fish roaming and sticking the brush. Monkeys milk and mo glo colors working the best. Bass fishing is good on top waters early and swim baits off the banks late morning. Live shad producing numbers and big spawned out fish along the bluffs. Catfish are fair on cut shad and prepared baits anchored in 40-50 feet of water in creek channels and near ledges. Look along the rocks for blues and channels spawning and looking for shad. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Hybrid stripers are good on topwater along the bank early in the morning. Watch for egrets and seagulls. Then switch to sassy shad 4 inch glo on flats and points in 10-20 feet of water. Shad continue to spawn. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
