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
