Conditions
: LAKE TEXOMA: GOOD. Water normal stain; 57 degrees; 1.84 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is great drifting live shad in 20-25 feet of water. Seeing some spawned out females and some yet to spawn on the flats. Plenty of smaller fish can be found anchored in 55-65 feet of water. Topwater bite will be starting soon, so keep an eye out for birds along the banks. Catfish are fair, anchored in 5-15 feet of water near the creeks and rivers after the rain this week using cut buffalo/carp or gizzard shad. Crappie are fair on brush in 10-15 feet of water and some in the creeks 3-10 feet of water on warmer days. Baby shad jigs and small minnows are working. Lake has been going down so look for the fish to move in with the next rain. Bass are fair on hard baits in the backs of the coves and creeks on warmer days. Plastics off the main lake points in 5-15 feet of water and we are catching smallmouth on live shad along the bluffs really well. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Striped bass are peak spawn and the bite is good. Bigger fish can be caught on the flats with 5 inch imitation shad, and smaller sized fish in 10-25 feet of water on ledges and drop-offs. Live bait is catching stripers in deep water. Threadfin shad should start any day, increasing schooling action for predator fish. A few birds are starting to work.
