Lake Texoma Fishing Report - AWESOME Winter Texoma Striper Fishing




Winter is the best time for BIG fish. And big stripers are on a rampage! The water temperature has cooled and Lake Texoma striper fishing has heated up.

Striper Express' Lake Texoma fishing guides fished every day before the recent ice storm, and are back on the water today. PHOTO: Alan Garcia and friends with BIG winter-caught Texoma stripers

GREAT STRIPER ACTION YEAR ROUND

Stripers bite year round and are most comfortable in the winter months. When the largemouth bass, speckled trout and redfish are lethargic, the striper fishing is on fire.

When Hunters are going through withdrawal and having cabin fever, these fighting "line sides" are calling your name. Just before the last weather change, reports of 50 fish per day were becoming more common. Our customers were catching some nice fish up to 15 pounds. Lots of "overs."

Allow me to explain, "overs" are 20 plus-inch stripers that we release after you have filled your big fish limit. When you luck into a 30" striper, you just landed a hefty 17 pound fish.

GO WINTER STRIPER FISHING

Many serious fisher folk can't wait for the superb winter striper fishing on Lake Texoma. They come for the big fish - and I mean BIG - line stripping and rod bending monsters!

Do you like the sounds of this so far?

Striper fishing with lures separates fisher-men from fisher-boys. We take a lot of pride in offering this special technique exclusively.

It puts you in the game from the get go. You are engaged catching, fighting and landing fish - the sporting way!

BEST TEXOMA STRIPER LURES

You will catch most of your fish with 4-5 inch white-glo Sassy Shad, soft plastic with a 1 ounce white jig head.

Another go-to big fish bait is the Blakemore BuckTail RoadRunner. A secret tip is to put a 9 inch white soft plastic worm on the hook and use a garlic scent attractant. Big bait = Big fish!

Striper fishing with lures is so much fun that fishing celebrity Jimmy Houston will soon film his RoadRunner show with the help of Striper Express.

Oh Boy! Don't miss the fantastic winter striper fishing. Learn More...

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 1)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 67 degrees; 0.33 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is great on top waters early along rocky shorelines and sandy flats around coves. Watch for birds on the banks and fish the direction the birds are moving up and down the rocks. Live bait is still very effective fishing ledges and humps near the river channels in 35-45 feet of water. The shad spawn is on and catching will only get better. Crappie fishing is good near boat docks and on structure also using electronics to locate roaming fish in 12-15 feet of water. Glo and milk are colors of choice with a crappie nibble tip. Seeing females in the creeks 2-5 feet of water as well. Catfishing is getting better on cut shad and prepared baits anchored on ledges in 40-50 feet of water a few reels off the bottom near rocky banks. Slip cork with a cut shad down the bluffs are producing channel cats preparing to spawn as well. Bass fishing is good using top waters early, spooks or closed face glide baits and fish crawl baits later. Fish are roaming near the beds and hitting white chatter baits as well. Live shad down the bluffs are producing numbers with the occasional big fish off the rocks in 5-8 feet of water. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Hybrid stripers are excellent with limits coming on topwaters along the bank early in the morning watching for Egrets. Then switch to swimbaits on flats and points in 10-20 feet of water. Shad are spawning along the banks. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
