Legendary Fall Fishing is Here - Lake Texoma Fishing Guides Report Part 1




Fall Fishing is Here!

October is the beginning of the legendary fall fishing at Lake Texoma.  The water temperature dipped a few degrees last week.  We are expecting another cool down this coming Friday.

That Means Top Water Striper Fishing Time!

Captain Chris and Jimmy both had some top water action this week.  They reported several stripers up to 5lbs and numerous blow ups.  A blow up is when the fish strike and misses your plug.

Ther is nothing more exciting than having a hungry striper attack your top water plug.  Ask any fisherman top water is the most exciting method of fishing. 

We go out early in the mornings and start casting big top water plugs at first light on the shallow banks.

Sarge Kellam had to say this about his recent trip; "Just wanted to Thank You again for a wonderful experience.  Mike at 92 years young was as excited as a new, young fisherman with each fish he caught.  Chris was an excellent guide.  He not only put us on the fish, he made us feel very comfortable with his warm personality.  I have fished with a number of guides over the years but this trip was the best one I have ever been on.  When we got on those fish at first light, that top water action was the best thrill we have had in a long time.  Your ladies in the office made us feel like family.  We look forward to our next trip with you all in November."

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.
