Texoma Fishing Report

Feb 18, 2026

FAIR. Water stained; 50 degrees; 0.26 feet above pool. Stripers are mostly suspended in deep water with the big wads of bait 50-70 feet of water. Glow and chartreuse Flukes or swimbaits are working on the right day, and live bait will start to produce as well. Fish are still on structure as well off man lake points and humps in 10-20 feet of water near the ends of the lake where the water is warmest. Catfish are cruising under the bait in deep water and starting to move up shallow in creeks and coves looking for warm water. Drifting with whole gizzard shad or cut rough fish in 30-50 feet of water. Crappie are moving up near creeks and on structures in 10-15 feet of water. Fish are scattered and in small bunches, the further west or north you go on the lake you’ll find dirtier and warmer water. Bass are moving to spawning areas and gorging on the large amount of bait in the lake. Main lake points with stumps or rocks in 8-12 feet of water. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Stripers are good on blue bird days, but excellent on cloudy days with wind. Some fish are on ledges and dropoffs in 15-25 feet, but bigger fish can be caught in deeper water beneath the birds. Deadstick flukes, shad or cast Alabama rigs. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
