Current Lake Texoma Fishing Reports for Texas and Oklahoma
Texas Parks & Wildlife Lake Texoma Fishing Report | November 6, 2024, 2024
Striped bass are excellent on topwaters early or late in the day in shallow water. Follow the birds and cast slabs beneath for limits of fish.
Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
GOOD. Water stained; 66 degrees; 1.84 feet below pool. Striper fishing is excellent on live shad and topwaters. Fish are running river ledges in 25-40 feet of water and feeding on points and sand flats. Look for gulls on the main lake and birds on the banks near creeks. Catfishing is also great, with larger fish starting to show up thanks to recent rain and inflow. We’re still seeing good numbers of fish on cut shad in 40-60 feet of water on the main lake. Drift deep flats 30-50 feet of water with whole gizzard shad for bigger fish. Crappie fishing is picking up near docks and on brush. Use jigs tipped with a crappie nibble, using electronics to locate active fish. Crappie are still roaming near structures, with many sitting on the bottom of the brush. Bass fishing will improve with recent rainfall and inflow. Try topwaters and plastics in the backs of coves and creeks in 3-6 feet of water, and hard baits near docks during the day.

November 3. Elevation is 3 ft. below normal and stable, water temperature 73°F and stained. (Current lake level). Striped bass good on live shad and topwater lures around channels, flats, main lake, points, and river channel. Blue, channel, and flathead catfish good on cut bait, dough bait, live shad, and punch bait around channels, coves, docks, and points. Crappie fair on hair jigs, minnows, and nymphs around brush structure, coves, docks, and standing timber
Fishing this week has been good. Striper or biting on live shad near river channels and flat areas. Have seen some topwater action as well. Catfish are still good on live shad and cut bait pretty much everywhere on the lake. Crappie are good on jigs around brush piles close to docks

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.
