Introducing Lake Texoma Community News and Articles




We launched LakeTexoma.com in 2008 with the goal of creating a valuable resource for Lake Texoma locals and visitors. Since then we've become the leading online community for Lake Texoma real estate, vacation rentals, fishing guides, marinas and campgrounds. While a great accomplishment, we've only just begun. Each month we receive email requests for local information such as entertainment, shopping, fishing reports, events, real estate news, etc... We believe the locals that live and breath the Lake Texoma air are the best source for this information. So I'd like to announce a new feature, Lake Texoma Community Articles. Each month local enthusiasts, business owners and domain experts will contribute unique articles about Lake Texoma life, real estate, fishing, travel, entertainment, shopping and more. Are you willing to invest a few hours into your community by contributing articles? With a large percentage of visitors from outside the Lake Texoma area, local interest stories are an excellent opportunity to promote interest in the lake. As a business owner or expert, articles can build credibility and help generate visibility for your business. Below are few ideas for local interest stories but clearly you are welcome to come up with additional ideas. Please contact us if you'd like to learn more about contributing articles.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 58 degrees; 1.53 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is great drifting live shad around the islands or past the bridges near the rivers. Rain should finish off the spawn and look for bait on the banks with feeding fish near them. Top waters are working on sandy flats in 2-8 feet of water. Smallmouth bass are good on live shad along the bluffs on the banks in 2-4 feet of water. Also fair on spooks early and look for largemouth off the banks in 6-12 feet of water on main lake points near rocks. Catfish are fair on cut shad along the rocks in 30-45 feet of water. Drifting cut rough fish or gizzard shad in 5-10 feet of water near the river could produce a big fish after a rain with an inflow of dirty water. Crappie are good on brush piles in 12-18 feet of water on jigs using electronics to locate active fish working in and out of the brush. Look for spawners shallow with warmer temperatures in the forecast. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Threadfin shad are spawning along the banks. Hybrid stripers are good on topwaters in the morning along rocky banks. Some days the egrets are working leading the way to fish. Some schooling activity under gulls. After the morning bite ends switch to swimbaits and Alabama rigs in 10-25 feet of water on the edges and dropoffs. This pattern should hold for the next 4-6 weeks while shad spawn near docks and banks. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
