Best Lake Texoma Fishing Guide

Lake Texoma

Located on the border of Texas and Oklahoma, Lake Texoma is an outdoor paradise for those looking for adventure and relaxation. Stretching over 89,000 acres, the lake offers a range of activities such as fishing, swimming, boating, and water sports. It is home to numerous fish species like largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, striped bass, catfish, walleye, white bass, black crappie, and sunfish.

• Crappie are best in the fall and winter months. Try brush piles, submerged trees, and creek channels. Boathouses are also a good place to fish.
• Channel catfish are good year-round at creek mouths. Use cut shad gizzards or shrimp, blood bait, dough bait or smelly bait also try drift fishing with shrimp along the rocky shorelines and riprap.
• Lake Texoma Bluegill fishing is great just about year around on live worms or crickets. Target rip pap in deeper water (8ft or more) near the start of the slope.

Pool level is approximately 615 ft MLS with a fluctuation average of 5 to 8 ft annually. The normal lake water is moderate to clear. It has a surface area of 74,686 acres with a maximum depth of 100 ft.

To say the fishing is great on Lake Texoma would be an understatement. Black bass, sand bass (white bass), crappie, bluegill, and catfish (one Texoma blue cat weighed in at 118.5 lbs.) are abundant, but the king of the lake has to be the striper. Texoma is known for some of the best striper fishing in the Southwest.

“Sandies” (white bass) receive a lot of attention in spring and summer. “Blacks” are pursued all year long!

Get ready for a great fishing trip at Lake Texoma

Bass fishing is a sport that can require a box full of tackle for the dynamic bass fisherman. Keeping all of your tackle organized and easily accessible is a formula for the proficient bass fisherman.

Black Bass– Spinner baits and crankbaits are both producing. Work the shallower water early and move to 8-12 feet later in the day. Look for ledges with deeper water close by and points with cover and deeper water nearby.

Stripers- Striper fishing has been great. Sunset and Wilfa Woods in 70 feet of water will produce some keepers. Also around the dam area in 45-50 feet of water will produce a few. Smaller stripers are top water-feeding early in the day.

I am no perfectionist on this organization topic and have even been called sloppy and unorganized by my fishing partners at times but in an instant if I want to throw a specific lure that I have in my boat, whether it is a lure that I haven’t thrown in years or days I know right where it is and can be fishing that lure in moments.

If you have the intuition to throw the bait and you know the bait will work in a situation, whatever it might be, then you have to put that intuition into action. If the exact location of that bait that fits your intuition is unknown and it would take you five minutes to find it, the timing of the intuition is thrown off and it is lost. Your frustration of not knowing where the lure has overpowered your intuition and the feeling is wasted and unfulfilled. You might not even take the time to look for the bait if you don’t know exactly where it is and the same thing happens. You cannot fish instinctively to your maximum potential if you don’t know where all of your baits are.

There are certainly plenty of other reasons to be organized in the boat, however, this is one of my main reasons for being organized, so that I can act upon instinct in an instant.

I keep most of my crankbaits, topwater, rogues, hooks, weights, and soft plastics in clear plastic boxes. The boxes are labeled: shallow cranks, mid cranks, deep cranks, worms, craws, french fries, soft jerk baits, hula grubs, topwater, rogues, diving rogues, etc.

The labels are all in plain view and facing up at me when I open the deck lid in my boat. It takes constant maintenance to keep these boxes organized. All of the baits you use in a day have to be put back where they came from at the end of the day to keep up with this system. After a while, you will memorize the location in each box where every single lure lies and this will even speed up your lure location when you need one.

This all goes back to the “little things” that I refer to. If you constantly strive to do the little things, they will eventually all add up to making you a more effective bass fisherman and lead you to catch more fish.
