Summer Fishing Vacation Time Created Especially For You By Striper Express




June Fishing Is Awesome on Lake Texoma

The stripers have finished their annual spawn. They have migrated back into the main lake. The fish are beginning to group up into large schools. You can locate these schools of fish almost anywhere on the lake. Our favorite spots are from the North Island up to Washita Point.

The baits of choice are 5-inch Zoom fluke in Baby Bass color and 4-inch sassy shad in white glow or chartreuse. Place your soft plastic on a ¾ to 1 ounce white jig head. Use your electronics to locate the schools on the ledges and in the deeper river channel. You can use slabs after mid-month when the schools are really grouped up. In late June, the traditional surfacing topwater action begins. Acres of stripers will push the shad to the surface in

In late June, the traditional surfacing topwater action begins. Acres of stripers will push the shad to the surface in early morning. Cast Cordell Pencil Poppers, Zara spooks, and magnum chug bugs for some great action.

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.
