October at Texoma




This has been a very awesome year for striper fishing on beautiful Lake Texoma. I am still fishing the same way, and doubt I will change since it works.   I guess I do my best with bigger fish, as artificial seems to bag the larger fish.   If you dont like to troll for big fish,  and want to catch a lot of small fish, I am not your man.   Yesterday with 4 people, whereas we alternate after every fish, we brought in 8 fish, between 8 to 5 lbs each, with a total of 26 fish.   We do not get a limit as we have to throw back some big fish, as there is a 2 fish over 20 inches per fisherman.   Also most small fish are so skinny, there is not much meat, and even it is mushy.   Our lake seems to be turning over, which leaves a grayish tent, but does not have anything to do with the quality of the filets.   My time on the water is getting limited, as suffering from an ole football injury as a kid, and will probably go into the hospital for a new left knee.    With the fall period upon us, you will find the eagles moving in, which is a wonderful site, along the edges or points of the lake.   There is not a lot of fishing going on during the winter, although stripers bite the entire year, with some times better than others.   I will probably be out of business for a while, after my surgery, but all in all, I look forward to some time on the bank, and sitting around, playing with our three Bostons, who do not realize they are not humans.   Have a good fall, and hope God blesses you in whatever endeavor you choose.......CrossCreek Guide Service....JD

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

FAIR. Water stained; 84 degrees; 1.87 feet above pool. Striped bass fishing is hit and miss but fish are starting to surface on shallow sand flats and in cuts. Top waters and swimbaits are working as well as live bait drifting shallow 10-15 feet of water or anchoring on main lake ledges in 15-25 feet of water. Catfishing remains excellent on punch bait in 25-30 feet of water on humps and main lake points. Bigger blues will be cruising the deeper water drift while gizzard shad or rough fish off of the river channels on flats in 40-55 feet of water. Bass fishing is good on hard baits and reaction baits near docks and the backs of coves early in the mornings and late evenings. Fish main lake points and rock bluffs mid day off the banks. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good on topwaters in shallow water, switching to slabs as fish move out to 15 feet of water. Water clarity is improved. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
