Legendary Fall Fishing is Here - Lake Texoma Fishing Guides Report




Fall striper fishing on Lake Texoma is "the best of the best": - Ron Shelton.

"We come a lot, but always in October, November and December for the big fish!"  Shelton said.  Ron, from Ewing Irrigation, entertains his clients with striper fishing on Lake Texoma several times a year.

Lake Texoma Fishing Guide Chris Carey (below):  Many serious anglers agree that October, November and December are their favorite Lake Texoma striper fishing months.  While lots of people are deer hunting, this select group is on Texoma, catching big stripers.

Texoma Stripers Bite All Day For my money striped bass are the strongest fighting fish in freshwater.  Originally a coastal ocean species, they are most comfortable in the cool water (around 66 degress) that October, November and December provide.  This time of year Texoma stripers bite from early till late.

They are voracious feeders, thrashing shad and putting on weight straight through the Fall months.

The all-day bite pays benefits for fall anglers in a variety of ways.  We currently run our charters from about 10:30AM till well into the afternoon.

Oklahoma and North Texas anglers can get up at a normal time.  They drive to the Lake and still catch fish till their arms are sore!  An added benefit of the mid-day start is viewing the clear, sunny beauty of this area.

Fall Brings A Secret Weapon

Trad in your sonar.  Fall brings us the best striper finder available!  Thousands of seagulls migrate to Lake Texoma and make it their winter home.  Just like striper, a seagull's favortie meal is shad - a minnow-like baitfish.

Seagulls can spot the silver flash of baitfish deep in the water and will fly circles over the area.  From below, the stripers will herd shad, pushing them to the surface where a striper/seagull feeding frenzy begins.  With a good pair of binoculars you can see the birds flying from quite a distance.  If you see the seagulls circling and diving...well then you've found yourself a hoard of the infamous Lake Texoma stripers.

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.
