Texoma Fishing Report

Feb 4, 2026

FAIR. Water stained; 42 degrees; 0.80 feet above pool. As a result of the arctic blast water temperatures have cooled 8-10 degrees across the lake pulling the shallow water fish deeper. These fish are now hanging on structures, and ledges in 20-30 feet of water. With the warmer sunny days back we should start to see those fish return to the shallower structure. Deadsticking 50-70 feet of water is producing good fish on 1-1.5 ounce jigheads and 5 inch flukes. Do not be afraid to move around looking for more active fish in the deeper water and keep an eye out for active groups of birds working schooling fish below. Catfish are staying in the 45-65 feet of water with medium to large pieces of cut gizzard shad being the bait of choice. Be patient as with the colder water temps they will be moving slower and a little more spread out in the deep water. Crappie are staying around deeper structures in 20-30 feet of water, with the colder water temps patience is key as they will be moving and feeding a little slower. Be patient once you find them on structure, and have different jigs and bodies to try till you find the one they can’t resist. Lures are king right now. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. The cooler water temperature has ignited the deadstick bite. Drop 4 inch flukes straight down and hold them still until you get a bite. Stripers are good with Alabama rigs or swimbaits on structures in 12-20 feet of water. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
