GOOD. Water stained; 53 degrees; 0.08 feet above pool. With the arctic blast and some wintry weather coming at the end of the week we will be seeing colder temperatures over the next week, and that makes for good conditions for a midday or afternoon fishing trip. Striper fishing into a winter bite. Deadsticking in 50-65 feet of water in the main lake is producing good quality fish. Swimbaits are producing good fish as well on structures and points in 10-20 feet of water. Be on the lookout for active working groups of birds as well to throw swimbaits or drop a deadstick under and around. Catfish have settled in on deep flats 45-60 feet of water. Medium to large cut baits are the bait of choice as the winter is the time to catch trophy blues on Texoma. Drifting at a .5-1.5 mph using drift socks or a trolling motor will help cover water. Crappie are hanging on structure and stumps in 18-25 feet of water, be patient and have a variety of jig color and styles as it can vary day to day. Bigger fish can be found roaming stump flats and creek channels this time of year. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. The cold front will lower the water temperature and improve the deadstick bite. Stripers are good with Alabama rigs or swimbaits on structures in 12-20 feet of water with Alabama rigs and swimbaits. Fish are feeding up and stuffed full of bait. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
