Texoma Fishing Report

Sep 18, 2024

GOOD. Water stained; 75 degrees; 1.22 feet below pool. Striper fishing has fluctuated, much like the temperatures lately! Fish are schooled up moving fast near ledges and ditches fishing live bait in 25-40 feet of water a few reels off the bottom, adjusting as fish move through. Also seeing fish in shallow flats drifting live bait and bouncing slabs in 8-15 feet of water on sand flats. Crappie are turning on as water temperatures slowly start to drop. Seeing fish come off structure in 15-20 feet of water on brush piles using crappie minnows and small chartreuse jigs, with darker colors as the lake starts to turn over. Catfishing remains great for numbers and filling the box. Smaller channels and blues are on main lake points and ditches in 15-25 feet of water using punch baits and cut shad. Bass fishing is lagging with the falling water levels and prolific number of shad. Look for fish around the boulders and on shaded banks 8-12 feet of water. Use electronics to find structure and stumps as bigger bass will be roaming looking for larger gizzard shad. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Striped bass are good with most catches in 30 feet of water or less with some fish in the tributaries and creeks, which is new territory. Start fishing with topwaters in shallow water then gradually work out to deep water with slabs. Some fish are surfacing, but do not rely on this. Striped bass fishing has been tough while the lake is turning over. Target striped bass with slabs under surfacing fish. As the water continues to cool fish will relate in shallow water in the tributaries and coves. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Numbers of crappie can be caught but very few keepers. Target brush in 7-25 feet of water with ⅛ ounce jig heads tipped with minnows. Report by River Bottom Boys Guide Service.
