March 2015




March and Spring break has been a really great month for fishing on Lake Texoma. Usually high winds and rain, this year it has been lots of rain, and some cold days.   Most days the lake has been completely calm, the nicest March I have seen in years.    I have still been very successful each trip in getting lots of fish, and lots of big fish.   So far with lots of 17-18-19 pound fish, we are also getting 20s.    There is a challenge each trip as the fish are sometimes in 50feet of water, then I catch them in the 18-20 feet range.   The water temp is of course different at different locations but range in the 53 degree range, surface temp.  I even had the break where I got to take out my grandchilderen and they had a ball.   Fishing is great so get that trip booked, as I do morning and evening trips, both with very similar results.   The BLT Striper tournament is coming up soon, so try your luck, or is it skill.   I have come close to winning it three times, and if it was on a point system, I would be leading...  I think April 4, we will win it, as I have been catching too many big fish.   Good Fishing JD

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.
