EXCELLENT. Water stained; 80 degrees; 2.30 feet below. While the lake is turning over, fishing with artificial baits has been tough but will improve as the water begins to clear. The striper bite is shallow early on topwaters, using swimbaits on shallow flats, and slabs in deeper water. Fall fishing is all about chasing the birds, so watch for the gulls and herons to start appearing. Sand bass in big numbers are on shallow flats in 10 feet of water or less using 4-inch swimbaits, downsized topwaters, and slabs. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Striped bass fishing is excellent with fish being caught on top waters in the backs of creeks at daybreak then fishing switching to live bait and drifting flats in 25-30 feet of water to finish a limit. Blue and channel catfish are still excellent on ledges and flats in 40-50 fow. A lot of small fish with the occasional big fish. Drift cut baits in 15-20 feet of water for the big blues. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are getting better with the cool weather. Topwaters around points and deep drop-offs early and switching to soft plastics 5-10 feet of water fishing fast. Crappie are good with a lot of small fish and a few big fish. Waiting to see those mid size keeper fish on the piles. 10-18 feet of water using electronics on brush piles.
