Fishing Report from TPWD (Jun. 18)

FAIR. Water stained; 74 degrees; 9.79 feet above pool. Striper fishing is improving with lake conditions. Fishing live shad on ledges and humps in 30-45 feet of water suspended above the muddier water on bottom. Start to watch for top water action as water temps rise, there is still a shad spawn going on near rocks and gravel banks. Catfishing is good for channels and blues on points and drop off 18-25 feet of water using punch bait on small treble hooks near the bottom. Key in on rocks and structure as fish move off the spawn and in the summer pattern. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good with some topwater action starting, and the live bait bite is great. Limits are possible targeting fish in clearer water. The water is clearing on the main lake and water is being released. Shad are still spawning. The small threadfin shad should start to run midlake soon improving the topwater bite. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
