Stripers are Fat & Sassy on Lake Texoma

The weather forecast was for chilly rain and then more rain and some wind, but that didn’t deter Chris Carey, at Striper Express and his client, Paul Bandiera from Dallas TX.

Despite the cloudy overcast day, the stripers at Lake Texoma woke up hungry and Chris and the clients got into fish quickly on swimbaits. The morning continued to yield many fish plus 4 striped bass that weighed in excess of 10 pounds. This is a good day in the rain for sure! Fishing slowed a bit for an hour or so and t

Fishing Report from TPWD (Aug. 27)

GOOD. Water stained; 83-84 degrees; 0.38 feet above pool. Fishing has been really good. Some days are definitely easier than others, but it has definitely started to turn around. Mostly catching them on slabs. Sometimes catching them on topwaters. Some anglers are trolling for them and catching them. You can jig them up and down off the bottom. Water temperatures are still pretty warm around 83-84 degrees. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Striper fishing is good as they have schooled up and are feeding more frequently with the nicer weather. Look for fish surfacing with larger schools under them on river ledges. Slabs, topwaters and swimbaits are producing fish when you get on the right school. Fish can be found feeding throughout the day and in random places so keep an eye out for birds and blow-ups right now. Catfishing is good on punch bait off points and ditches in 20-25 feet of water for numbers of channel cats. Blues are on deeper flats in 40-60 feet of water on cut shad for numbers. Bigger blues are near coves and creeks in 18-25 feet of water drifting cut shad. Crappie fishing - look at brush near the mouths of coves and creeks in 15-20 feet of water. Temperature drops will have fish active near docks and structures throughout the day. Darker color jigs are working better with current water conditions.
