Well 2014 is behind us, and we are looking forward to another excellent year on Lake Texoma, striper fishing.   Right now, dont get me wrong, I do not like the cold.  Although it is a good time to catch big fish, I like the Spring, Summer, Fall, as I catch big fish year round, even when it is 90 degrees or higher.  I have a top on my boat to block the sun, rain, so come on warm weather.   The fish during the winter have a tendancy to feel the same way, and are sluggish, down there in fornt of some fire place like I like to spend these cold days.    This past year I have had my best year, for big fish, and there are still lots our there, and I expect the same this year.   I am in the BLT Striper Tournament the 31st of January, and this is sort of a kick off, for that battle against the big fish, and winning a prize catching two big fish per boat.   My friends from Oklahoma, love this challenge, and with the Pottsboro Chamber of Commerce sponsoring it also, it sweetens the pot to some degree.   The fish I have caught recently can be in anywhere from 60 feet to 30 feet, and some even in the shallow water.   I use all artificial, the simple method, trolling with rigs, so the hard work is lessened, and the the big fish love them.   I have a good size off shore triton boat, which I keep clean, with the latest and newest of fishing quipment for my customers.  I have guided for over 20 years, on Texoma, so give me a hollar, and lets go catch a bunch of big, nice striped bass....JD
