October 1, 2016




Well it seems fall is around the corner, and its been one hellofayear.   I have been busy enough to keep me out of trouble.   I started off the year with great results each trip, but some trips being tough, and some unbeleiveable.  That is fishing kind sirs.  I am still satisfied with the service I get from Little Mineral Resort, as boathouse 14, is one of the best set up, better than most.   It does not look that great as we took some tin off the sides because of recent high winds and water.  I have a clean cleaning station, music, air, and a spot that the catfish love, when I throw few cleaning of stripers in the water.   I have fished almost every day, always every weekend, although since I am a retired railroad man, I take it as it comes.   I keep my boat clean, and well serviced, and the 1999 Triton, has lasted well, and takes the water fine.  Oh come on, talk a little fishing.   I troll most of the time and target mostly big fish, fish in the range of 5-15 pounds.  I feel I am know lakewise, as one of the best large fish guides on the lake.   I have won 90% of the Bud Light Trails, Striper Tournaments, winning my last October 1st.  They gave me a plaque as "Angler of the Year".   Now my interest has changed to work on a soldier fishing trip I organized, Operation-Welcome Home, whereas, I arrange for about 100 wounded warriors, to fish free on a weekend on Lake Texoma.   Numerous guides donate their time and boats to help, and local business (VFW, American Legion, and Elks, Vietnam Veterans Assn.) donate meals during the weekend they are here.  Come join us I you are in the area.   Anyway good fishing.   I am also on FB.   JDDorsey

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.
