Texoma Fishing Report

Jan 7, 2026

GOOD. Water stained; 53 degrees; 0.10 feet above pool. Striper fishing has picked up over the past week with livebait, and swimbaits being the main focus. Striper are reacting to swimbaits in 10-20 feet of water on main lake points and structures. Keep your eyes peeled for birds actively working as well, cast and reel through the area around and under the birds. Live bait is producing good fish 35-60 feet in open water and on main lake ledges as well as under the active birds. Look forward to the overcast and rainy weather coming to spike the bite. Catfish are scattered on deep flats 50-65 feet of water drifting med-large cut baits, patience is key as January can be a slower month for catfish on Texoma but can produce some big ones. Crappie remain active on structure in 15-20 feet with jigs being the main focus, day to day color and size preference can change so have the tackle box stocked with a variety of jig heads and plastics. Be patient and hang in there until you find that perfect combo they cannot resist. Electronics play a big role in finding active fish. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Stripers are good with Alabama rigs or swimbaits. Box fish can be caught on structure and ledges, while bigger fish are in deep water. A splash motor or thumper will bring fish to the boat. Birds are working. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
