Lake Texoma

FAIR. Water stained; 50 degrees; 0.16 feet above pool. The striper bite is inconsistent due to the fluctuating weather, but the forecast is looking like spring from here on. Look to find the striper in 10-20 feet on points and structure casting swimbaits. There are a lot of fish in the open water 40-65 feet, deadsticking flukes over the active fish. We should start seeing a transition into a bait bite within the next week or two. Catfish remain scattered in the open water 45-65 feet, drifting medium to large cut baits such as gizzard shad or drum has been the ticket! Look for fish laying on the bottom using electronics. Crappie have been holding on structure and ledges in 20-25 feet of water, but be looking for them to be on the move to shallower water as the warm weather continues this week. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Stripers are good but the bite can be hit-or-miss. The primary action is on structure in 10-30 feet of water with swimbaits, or Alabama rigs. Bigger fish can be caught in the middle under the birds deadsticking flukes or using swimbaits. The bite is tough while high winds persist. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
