As its deep in midsummer, now, fish are deep, and slow to feed. Water temp surface is 86 degrees! What does this mean? They dont feed, eat, bite, as fast as their preferred 30 -40 degree water! So what does that mean? If you dont hit the water earlier after night, at least 6 am, you wont be carching before it gets so hot they “turn off “! Be early, dress cool, and bring sun screen! Its great fishing between 7-11, then they go deep and less bites! Better have a bunch or it gets slow to nada! Yesterday we did it exactly as We got lots, big, and fun, then the heat worsens conditions! You can be using slabs, A rigs, bait but whatever its still hot out and uncomfortable! This will be this way until cooler weather hits and then its getting better in Fall! Book your trips with all this in mind! I dont like the heat but then I get paid to be out in it, but prefer a limit of fish (10 per person) during this time too! So with Fall heading this way, book the fall dates to get your hat in the ring! And the dates you need. Hope see you and have a great day fishing, beautiful Lake Texoma, the striper capital of the World! “JD”.
