Lake Texoma Fishing Report – Best Summer Striper Fishing in Years




What a summer it has been up here on Lake Texoma or the big pond as we locals like to call it. The summer striper fishing has been way above our expectations. This wonderful lake never ceases to amaze me time and time again. Many of the Lake Texoma striper guides and locals agree that the Big T (Lake Texoma) is poised to have another big run.

I have been fishing a lot and wanted to take time and thank all the customers that fished with Striper Express this summer. We can't do it without you!

June and July fishing blew us away. Good top water most days and even better slab-fest catching. Rippin Lips in deep water for quality and quantity.

How about this August fishing? The isolated summer thunder boomers have triggered a lake wide top water bite. About every 2 weeks, just about the time you're ready to "crow" the stripers will show you who the boss is. We will have that tricky, bluebird dink catching day, but not this month!

The fishing has been awesome. Lots of double digit fish with the largest this week weighing over 20 lbs. Top water at first light then off to the slab-fest. Yesterday we caught and released 65 stripers and tossed back 12 overs up to 10 pounds. The fish caught on slabs are running up to 1-4 pounds.

We are past the hottest weather of the summer. The big stripers are roaming the shallows early in the mornings ready to crush bait. Fall fishing is about to begin and we are ready. I wonder, if the striper fishing can be this good right now how good will it be come December?

Fishing Report from TPWD (Jul. 9)

FAIR. Water stained; 84 degrees; 1.87 feet above pool. Striped bass fishing is hit and miss but fish are starting to surface on shallow sand flats and in cuts. Top waters and swimbaits are working as well as live bait drifting shallow 10-15 feet of water or anchoring on main lake ledges in 15-25 feet of water. Catfishing remains excellent on punch bait in 25-30 feet of water on humps and main lake points. Bigger blues will be cruising the deeper water drift while gizzard shad or rough fish off of the river channels on flats in 40-55 feet of water. Bass fishing is good on hard baits and reaction baits near docks and the backs of coves early in the mornings and late evenings. Fish main lake points and rock bluffs mid day off the banks. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Striped bass are good on topwaters in shallow water, switching to slabs as fish move out to 15 feet of water. Water clarity is improved. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
