Summer Fishing Vacation Time Created Especially For You By Striper Express




June Fishing Is Awesome on Lake Texoma

The stripers have finished their annual spawn. They have migrated back into the main lake. The fish are beginning to group up into large schools. You can locate these schools of fish almost anywhere on the lake. Our favorite spots are from the North Island up to Washita Point.

The baits of choice are 5-inch Zoom fluke in Baby Bass color and 4-inch sassy shad in white glow or chartreuse. Place your soft plastic on a ¾ to 1 ounce white jig head. Use your electronics to locate the schools on the ledges and in the deeper river channel. You can use slabs after mid-month when the schools are really grouped up. In late June, the traditional surfacing topwater action begins. Acres of stripers will push the shad to the surface in

In late June, the traditional surfacing topwater action begins. Acres of stripers will push the shad to the surface in early morning. Cast Cordell Pencil Poppers, Zara spooks, and magnum chug bugs for some great action.

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.
