FAIR. Water stained; 74 degrees; 5.41 feet above pool. Striper fishing is hit-and-miss with so much outflow but fish are consistent in shallower water 15-25 feet on live shad. Also seeing fish on humps and ledges in deeper water 40-55 feet of water on live shad. Be on the lookout for topwater action as bait moves off the banks and into deeper water with the warming temps. The bite will bust loose once they shut the flood gates and we are at normal pool level. Catfishing is good for blues on cut shad in 40-55 feet of water and channels are still along the rocks in 25-30 feet of water on punch bait. Bigger blues fish near the rivers with cut rough fish/gizzard shad drifting or anchored in 15-25 feet of water. Largemouth and smallmouth are improving with the lake conditions and water clarity. Watch for things to clear up quickly in the coves and creeks especially when they slow the outflow. Smallmouth will be on the boulders and rocks off the banks in 8-15 feet of water. Largemouth will shade and suspend in the clearer water under docks and marinas. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. The water is dropping nearly 9 inches a day, and should be normal around Independence Day. Striped bass hit-and-missing with live bait in 20-30 feet of water. The small threadfin shad should start to run midlake and when this happens the topwater bite should be good. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
