"Striked Bass and Topwater Action at Lake Texoma in the Cooler Fall Months"

  • Summary

  • As of October 4, 2024, Lake Texoma is offering some exciting fishing opportunities, especially with the onset of cooler weather.

    ### Weather and Water Conditions
    The water temperature at Lake Texoma is currently around 75 to 88 degrees, with the water slightly stained and the lake level at 1.51 feet below pool.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at about 7:30 AM, and sunset will be around 7:00 PM, providing a good window for both early morning and late afternoon fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Striped bass are the main attraction right now. They are being caught in shallow flats, particularly in 1-6 feet of water, using topwaters like pencil poppers and slabs. Larger fish are being found along flats in 5-15 feet of water, where drifting gizzard shad or working topwaters along the banks has been effective.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, topwater lures such as pencil poppers and slabs are working well. Swimbaits are also starting to become more effective. Live bait, especially gizzard shad, is producing good results when drifted over flats.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best areas to target is the shallow flats, especially where diving birds are marking feeding schools on the surface. The backs of creeks at daybreak are also productive for striped bass. For those looking to catch catfish, drifting cut shad along flats in 15-25 feet of water or anchoring in 30-40 feet of water off the bottom has been successful.

    ### Additional Tips
    The fall topwater fishing experience is in full swing, with big fish seeking the shallows where the water cools first during the early morning. Stealth is key, as too many boats can disrupt the fishing. With the cooler weather approaching, this pattern is expected to improve further.

    Overall, it's a great time to be on Lake Texoma, with plenty of action on the surface and in the deeper waters. Just remember to keep an eye out for those diving birds and be prepared for some thrilling topwater bites.
