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 (May 31)

GOOD. Water stained; 75 degrees; 2.36 feet below pool. Striped bass are good with bigger fish biting on topwater along the banks in the morning. When the morning bite tapers off, look for pods of threadfin shad midlake. Casting into these pockets of shad with swimbaits will land catches of stripers. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Striped bass fishing is great on live shad with fish suspended in 50-65 feet of water around the islands. The shad spawn is still on as well, topwater baits and swimbaits are working early along rocky banks where the egrets are lined up. Crappie are fair on plastic jigs and minnows fishing brush piles in 12-15 feet of water. Use electronics to locate active fish then use a slow lift up to catch. Catfish are fair on cut shad and prepared baits fishing a couple reels up in 50-65 feet of water. Seeing a lot of small blues from the last couple years spawn and the occasional good keeper. Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing is good on live shad along the south end of the lake off the bank in 5-10 feet of water on the big boulders. Topwaters early on the rocks are working as well. Report by Jacob Orr Lake Texoma Guaranteed Guide Service.
