  • Summary

  • As of September 29, 2024, Lake Texoma is offering some exciting fishing opportunities, especially with the cooler weather setting in.

    ### Weather and Tidal Report
    The water temperature is around 75 degrees, and the lake is currently 1.37 feet below pool. The weather forecast shows increasing clouds with a high of 95 degrees today, but a significant drop to 66 degrees tonight, with a chance of thunderstorms. This cooler weather is expected to enhance fish activity.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 7:23 AM, and sunset will be at 7:14 PM, providing ample time for both morning and evening fishing trips.

    ### Fish Activity
    Striped bass fishing is improving significantly with the cooler days. These fish are schooling up and can be found in shallow water, particularly in the early mornings and late evenings. Some striped bass are also moving into the tributaries and creeks, which is a new and promising territory. Topwater lures are effective in the shallows, and as you move out to deeper water, switch to slabs. Live shad on flats and across river channels are also producing good results.

    Crappie fishing is starting to pick up as the water cools off. Look for crappie suspended in brush in 12-15 feet of water, using minnows and dark-colored jigs. Catfishing remains excellent, with eater-size channels and blues biting on punch baits and cut shad in shallow humps and points in 15-25 feet of water.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, start with topwaters in shallow water and transition to slabs in deeper areas. Live shad on flats and river channels are highly effective. For crappie, minnows and dark-colored jigs around brush structures are the way to go. Catfish are biting well on punch baits and cut shad.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots is around the ledges and ditches where striped bass are schooling up. Another good area is the shallow flats, especially during early morning and late evening when the big fish tend to scatter in these areas. For crappie, target the brush piles in 15-20 feet of water.

    Overall, this is a great time to be on Lake Texoma, especially if you're looking to catch some big striped bass on topwater lures or fly fishing gear. The cooler weather is setting up ideal conditions for a productive and exciting fishing trip.
