Fishing remains tough on Texoma. Striper is very hit or miss with far more misses currently. The lake is still 15 feet higher than normal and is very muddy across the entire lake. Catfish have been consistent in roughly 25 fow on cut bait. The lake is coming down slowly, but I am not expecting it to clean up until late summer, likely in to august.

Today was the first day for me to see the large top water action with some birds working as well. I had heard of some earlier this week but saw it today. Water temp is right around 60 and the striper are coming in to their spring routine. The next few weeks should be very strong with swim baits and maybe even throwing top water lures. Blue Cats are active and being caught in shallow water. We should have another week or two of shallow bite but they will be transitioning to deeper water soon. Nows the time to book!

The fall pattern for stripers is in full swing. At daybreak and for about an hour or so after the big fish are shallow and exploding on top water lures. After that watch the sky and find the birds working. Using slabs or swim baits under the birds will trigger consistent bites. The lake turned over last week or so and the catfish were inconsistent for me but i expect that bite to pick back up. Now is the time to have your chance to land your biggest striper of the year. Many fish welll over 10 pounds caught recently
