Legendary Fall Fishing is Here - Lake Texoma Fishing Guides Report Part 1




Fall Fishing is Here!

October is the beginning of the legendary fall fishing at Lake Texoma.  The water temperature dipped a few degrees last week.  We are expecting another cool down this coming Friday.

That Means Top Water Striper Fishing Time!

Captain Chris and Jimmy both had some top water action this week.  They reported several stripers up to 5lbs and numerous blow ups.  A blow up is when the fish strike and misses your plug.

Ther is nothing more exciting than having a hungry striper attack your top water plug.  Ask any fisherman top water is the most exciting method of fishing. 

We go out early in the mornings and start casting big top water plugs at first light on the shallow banks.

Sarge Kellam had to say this about his recent trip; "Just wanted to Thank You again for a wonderful experience.  Mike at 92 years young was as excited as a new, young fisherman with each fish he caught.  Chris was an excellent guide.  He not only put us on the fish, he made us feel very comfortable with his warm personality.  I have fished with a number of guides over the years but this trip was the best one I have ever been on.  When we got on those fish at first light, that top water action was the best thrill we have had in a long time.  Your ladies in the office made us feel like family.  We look forward to our next trip with you all in November."

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.
