あらすじ・解説
As of November 17, 2024, Lake Texoma is offering some excellent fishing opportunities, despite the changing weather conditions. The water is stained, with a temperature of about 69 degrees, and the lake level is 2.59 feet below pool.
The weather has been cooling down, which is typical for this time of year, and this has triggered some significant fish activity. Striped bass fishing is particularly great, with thousands of gulls showing up to indicate the presence of these fish. You can catch striped bass using live bait and slabs under the birds in the main river channels or by drifting flats in about 30 feet of water.
Crappie fishing is fair, with live minnows and small shad working well around docks and on brush in 8-12 feet of water. For largemouth and smallmouth bass, live shad along the bluffs on the main points and swimbaits on the gravel banks are producing some good catches.
Catfishing is also good, especially when drifting cut gizzard shad along flats in 50-60 feet of water off the river channels. Smaller fish can be found on ledges and humps in about 40 feet of water.
For the best results, focus on midlake areas where striped bass are active on slabs, swimbaits, and even some deadstick action. The west end of the lake between the islands and the 377 bridge has been a hot spot recently.
Sunrise today is around 6:55 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:10 PM. While there are no significant tidal changes to note on Lake Texoma, the cooler weather and longer nights are dropping the water temperatures, making it an ideal time for fishing.
If you're looking for specific hot spots, try the Little Mineral Arm of the lake for crappie on paddle jigs and live or dead minnows, and the south end of the lake for largemouth and smallmouth bass on live shad along the boulders and gravel bars. Topwater action late in the evening near creeks can also yield some great catches.
Overall, Lake Texoma is in great shape for fishing right now, so grab your gear and take advantage of the excellent conditions.
