Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
FAIR. Water stained; 48 degrees; 2.46 feet below pool. Striper fishing is good with the best bite on overcast days with north winds. Look for gulls feeding over loons and active fish in river channels and on ledges. Structure fish are holding to humps and ledges in 15-35 feet of water using soft plastics. As water temperatures start to fall, look for crappie in deeper water on brush and structure in 18-25 feet of water. Use jigs or a spinner near the bottom of the piles for bigger fish. Bass are hitting soft plastics and slow moving baits off the banks in 8-12 feet of water as fish are pulled to deeper water due to falling water temperature and lake levels. Bait fish are plentiful in deeper water along the bluffs and near rocks off the river channels. This is a great time of year to mark spots on the banks that may be underwater come spring and summer. Target catfish on shallow flats near the river and creek inlets. Trophy blue catfish will be roaming shallow water looking for big gizzard shad. Anchor up or drift whole shad in 10-30 feet of water off ledges and in ditches Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma Guaranteed Guide Service.

Bighead and silver carp were first brought to the U.S. in 1973 and have since overtaken many Mississippi River drainage waterways. Anglers can help protect Lake Texoma waters from invasive species by not releasing carp back into the water and reporting bighead and silver carp catches to the Oklahoma Wildlife Department or the Texas Wildlife Department.
