The Sheihing’s Story

Dwain and Shannon Sheihing moved to our beautiful and bountiful Lake Texoma from their farm on the outskirts of Austin because Austin is a crowded mess these days. Plus, they wanted to remain in Texas. The couple was like ships passing in the night due to their hectic work schedules and farm chores.

The Sheihings wanted a place where they could work and live together. They chose to buy the almost empty Gone Fishing RV Resort for that purpose. This RV park had witnessed unprofessional management for approximately the last three years, after filling up its RV sites for most of its history.

Dwain and Shannon are committed to further enhancing the resort with additional landscaping, additional rental services, and an expanded inventory of Texas-made goods. Bring your dogs.

The Sheihings came from farming stock, and they plan to continue their heritage and their love for Texas right here in Texomaland. The Sheihings have invested much love into their park’s property.

Guests can expect a warm Texomaland welcome and a rejuvenating escape. They have remodeled the park’s existing structures into beautiful laundry and shower facilities and added services like watersports rentals and an apartment.

Dwain and Shannon want to do so much more. They are not done yet!

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 11)

GOOD. Water stained; 75 degrees; 0.97 feet below pool. Striper fishing is good, using live shad on flats and across the river channels. Start looking for fish to stack up on ledges as the lake cools off. Big fish will be scattered in shallow water during early mornings and late evenings. Box fish are becoming plentiful on bait in 30-40 feet of water. Crappie fishing should improve as the water cools off. Look for fish suspended in brush in 12-15 feet of water, using minnows and dark-colored jigs. Use electronics to locate active fish under docks midday. Catfishing remains great as eater-size channels and blues continue to bite on punch baits and cut shad. Target shallow humps and points in 15-25 feet of water. Bigger fish will steadily show up, roaming the deeper flats as the thermocline disappears with the lake turnover. Bass fishing is still slower due to the abundance of bait in the lake, requiring more of a reaction to get bites. Use hard baits early and plastics late on main lake points and 8-15 foot humps, which are shallower now with the lake dropping. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Striped bass are good with most catches in 30 feet of water or less with some fish in the tributaries and creeks, which is new territory. Start fishing with topwaters in shallow water then gradually work out to deep water with slabs. Some fish are surfacing, but do not rely on this. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
