Fishing Report from TPWD (May 8)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 67 degrees; 6.02 feet above pool. Striped bass fishing is excellent on live shad fishing deep water 50-70 feet suspending shad around 40-50 feet down. Bigger the bait, the bigger the fish. Topwaters are working great along flooded rocks where shad are spawning, keep an eye out for birds along the banks. The mudline will be throughout the lake but coves will hold clear water along with fish and bait. Crappie fishing is slow as most fish are shallow up in the trees and grass that is flooded after a few years of being dry. Slip corks with minnows in the trees, docks are producing a few on jigs with a crappie nibble tip. Smallmouth and largemouth bass are good on top waters and plastics along rocks where shad are spawning early. Tires near marinas will hold bass as well. Catfishing is good, seeing flatheads coming from stumpy areas on live shad and blue cats coming off the rocks down the bluffs in 40-50 feet of water. Channel catfish are showing up in coves 30 feet near creek mouths. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. The lake is muddy and 5-6 feet above normal due to runoff from the rivers. Watch for the egrets feeding on the shad spawn leading the way to hybrid stripers. Hybrid stripers are excellent with limits coming on topwaters along the bank early in the morning, then switch to brightly colored swimbaits on flats and points in 10-20 feet of water. The bigger fish have moved off the banks to deeper water. The spawn is coming to an end so fish will start to transition to the dam area. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
