Lake Texoma Fishing Report – “AWESOME Top Water Striper Fishing”

Texoma Top Water Striper Fishing season is officially OPEN. The arrival of consistently warm weather has stimulated striper appetites to a frenzy. Anglers and Guides agree, “Texoma is experiencing  Awesome Top Water Striper Fishing.”

Texoma was so clear yesterday that anglers could see shad schooling deep in the water. Then the stripers started “attacking” top water lures right off the edge of the boat.  Fish were hitting so hard that they were launching themselves up out of the water!

The shallows are the place to be now. There you will find fish just boiling the surface of the water. The Cordell Pencil Popper will be be your plug of choice – just cast your plug then reel with a jerk of the rod and get ready. The motion of the ‘Popper simulates a crippled bait fish – irresistible action to stripers.

Top Water Striper Fishing
What can you say about top water striper fishing?  It truly is the ultimate technique for catching bass that will bend your rod double and every yard of line off your reel.

Going out at first light and catching a top water fish is one magnificent way to start the day.  The sunrise is beautiful and the air so crisp you can taste it.  Then all heck breaks loose. Shad start surface schooling around your boat – stripers are driving them into a tight knot at the water’s surface and the shad frantically try to escape the hungry predators.

Stripers are ferocious feeders. Today the fish were knocking bait 3 feet out of the water while running a school towards the bank.  Anglers aboard our boats were having multiple hook-ups during the catching frenzy. It happens so fast there is no time to stow the caught fish – they cover the deck of the boat. Later we practice catch and release. Fast and furious would be an understatement.

Another Awesome Striper Fishing Day
Today’s charter trips had another perfect catching day. “We couldn’t get the fish out of the water fast enough; they were one right after another. We lost count there was so many striped bass!!” says Thomas Jones from California. ”Once we got the hang of it THE RACE WAS ON!  I caught a 15-pound fish and let it go!” The excitement in the voice of these anglers just gets your blood pumping. You can only imagine the angler’s campfire stories tonight. “Top water fishing is something else. Now I know why they call Lake Texoma the striped bass capital of the world.”

Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Report – BIG Texoma Striper Fishing!

January is the best time for BIG Lake Texoma Striper Fishing. HOLY MOLY they are large!

The winter season has crept into the North Texas area a bit. Fortunately, the cooler temperatures in January have turned on the big fish bite.

The Lake Texoma Striper Fishing is year round and has been so good that the StriperExpress boats are catching some limits along with the bruisers. When I say bruisers I mean the knock-your-socks-of, hang-on-for-dear-life bruisers. Nothing better than finally exhaling after getting that dude into the boat… whew!

january best for big striped bass fishing

What a catch! Just one guided group this week!

 

How can this be?

Lake Texoma is a world class fishery for Striped Bass.  These Stripers are a cold water fish and they feed on shad even when the water temps are in the low 50 degrees. Adjustments are necessary and change occurs often so fishing daily keeps StriperExpress guide staff in touch and up to date.

Fishing Techniques Change in Winter – Catch HUGE Stripers at Texoma

Lake Texoma striper fishing is a little different in winter time. You have to present the lures to them slower now but they bite it just as well as they did in November. We have a saying if you’re reeling too slow, then slow down some more.

More large fish are caught in January – February – March than any other months of the year. Last Thursday one of our customers fishing in just 15’ of water near a windy point boated a 27.49 pounder and a 21.11 pounder Striper on lures. Both were caught in the same afternoon.

The limit at Lake Texoma is 10 fish per day per angler. Remember eight (8) of these Stripers have to be under 20” long (3-4lb striper) and that is the challenge – most all our stripers we catch now, and the next 30 days, will be over that 20” length by a lot!

We like this problem!

Beautiful winter day and beautiful big fish!

Stripers seem to want a lure presented with less motion in cooler water so the “fluke” minnow style baits work very well now. Drifting with the wind quietly over large schools of Stripers with these flukes is HOT this winter.

Wonderful Lake Texoma striper fishing is calling your name. Come experience the fantastic winter fishing. This is perfect for company trips, family and friends.

Come and get in on your HOLY MOLY BIG FISH adventure. We promise to send you home with a memory that will last a lifetime. You can contact us at www.striperexpress.com or call today 903-786-4477. We guarantee excitement!

Lake Texoma Fishing Report – December Striper Fishing “ON FIRE!”

Comments Off Written on December 5th, 2012 by

Tags: , , , , , ,

Lake Texoma Fishing Report – Lake Texoma striper fishing is on fire! The word is out about our striper fishing shrine. Devout fishermen are now making pilgrimage to Lake Texoma .

On Lake Texoma we catch fish year ‘round. This December the striper fishing is awesome. My son Chris Carey, Pro-Guide and guide team leader with StriperExpress, worded it perfectly, “The fishing has been getting better every day, and now it’s as good as it gets.”  Chris and his team of striper fishing guides have been catching up to a hundred fish per day.

Twin 11 pounder striped bass caught in Lake Texoma

Twin 11-pound stripers.

“Best Fishing Trip Ever”
That’s what Terry Neugin from Amarillo, Texas had to say. Terry is one of our customers that has caught the Lake Texoma striper fishing bug. He and a group came in for some December striper fishing this week.  They have been on several fishing trips to Lake Texoma just this year. “Now I have fished every season on the Big T and have never had a bad day. I love it!”

Let’s Try An Experiment
For two days Terry’s group had been catching fish in the river channel, chasing deep-water schooling fish under the seagulls. For their third and final day of their striper fishing adventure Chris said “Let’s try something new today”.

Chris tied on Moe’s Nanna Shad soft plastics on a three-quarter-ounce jig head for each angler.  He had figured out that the sand bass and stripers were stacked in coves and creek channels.

The group motored to the back of a marina and caught 28 sand bass and 17 stripers in an hour. This is a wonderful lake!

Fishfinders
While moving to another sheltered cove Chris spotted a hundred seagulls wheeling and feeding on shad. They were just a bit out from the south shore in the open lake. Abandoning the cove and creek strategy, he positioned the boat upwind of the airborne flock. Then he set up a drift above a HUGE school of fish.

The digital fishfinder showed a perfect picture – stripers forty-foot thick within the submerged river channel boundaries. Everyone grabbed a rod rigged with a two-ounce slab while the stripers continued their voracious feeding. Cast lures couldn’t hit the bottom without a strike. All heck broke loose with rod-bending and line-stripping action!

The State Of Striper Fishing
Catching and releasing fish after fish, they drifted and drifted with multiple hookups most of the time. The striper feeding frenzy ended only when the drifting boat reached the far shore.

One of the fishermen noticed and said “We never even started the motor! How far did we drift?”
“Over three miles” came the answer.

They had found their schooling stripers at the Texas shore and fished them all the way to Oklahoma.

“I love this lake” said  Mr. Nuegin.

Bill’s Striper Fishing Tip: Analog Beats Digital.  Fishfinders that is. Digital fishfinders are great for confirming fish in the space below your boat. Analog fishfinders – seagulls, herons, etc. -  show a guide from miles away exactly where the boat needs to be to use that digital finder.

“Blue Bird” Striper Fishing – Lake Texoma Fishing Report

Comments Off Written on November 19th, 2012 by
Categories: Lake Texoma Fishing Report

Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Guide Bill CareyTo a striper fishing guide a “Blue Bird Day”  has cloudless sky, dead calm water, and there is not a puff of wind.

Normally we’d be cussin’ a Blue Bird Day.

Seasoned Anglers Know
You have to hunt these magnificent stripers. For the last two weeks we have experienced some fantastic striper fishing action in the afternoon. It has been so good that we have changed our board and depart times to 11 a.m. This works out perfect. It’s an easy drive for our customers when they don’t have to wake so early. When it’s a cool day a little solar heat on your back never hurts. Hence, the solution to the “Blue Bird” day. This is November striper fishing at its best. We have large schools of stripers working under the birds (seagulls). It’s simple, cast your jig let it fall, begin reeling, and HOLD ON.

Lots of Big Ones
Lake Texoma fall striper fishing is in full swing. Steve Strasemeier brought in six anglers for three days this week.
He said:

“Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we caught over 200 fish. The weather was fantastic! The light wind was cool and warming that afternoon. Striper Express’, Chris, Jimmy, and John provided the fantastic fishing and great experience. I thought last year was as good as it gets but this year topped it. Heck we caught and released 30 stripers that were over 10 pounds! If you can, get to Lake Texoma now!”

The Secret Is Out
In November, when lots of people are in the deer blind there is a certain type of outdoorsman. The fisherman is on a personal quest to wrestle the infamous Lake Texoma striped bass. So much of a quest, that we have had 108 fishermen on 28 charters in the last seven days. All of us together have met adversity head on and conquered the “Blue Bird” fishing days.

Texoma Striper Fishing Guide Bill Carey

Striped Bass are moving out of the deep water and roaming the flats in September.

The lures of choice are slabs and jigs. Vertically jig one-ounce chrome, white and chartreuse slabs along the bottom in ten to thirty foot depths. Coho minnow jigs in white glow color with a ¾ ounce jighead and a four-inch tail are perfect for these hungry stripers.

Cast the jigs and use a medium retrieve. If you find surfacing or swirling fish, cast the jig, hold your rod high and keep the jig subsurface.

Big stripers fish move onto Lake Texoma’s flats in August.

Early mornings cast Pencil Poppers and Chug Bugs on the shallow banks. Mid morning, change your lures to Sassy Shad soft plastics.

Concentrate on the flats that run about twenty feet in depth. Locate the creek channel and drop offs, these are the routes the fish use to move up from deep water. Later in the month the seagulls arrive, pay close attention to the birds as they are the best fish finder

Lake Texoma Fishing Report June – Spawn Over, Striper Schools Feed In A Frenzy

Striper Fishing Guide Bill Carey

Striper Fishing Guide Bill Carey

It is JUNE and the striped bass have finished their annual spawn. The fish are grouping up in large schools and roaming the lake in a feeding frenzy.

Early mornings, cast topwater plugs on shallow banks with deep-water near-by. There is nothing more exciting than having a big striper explode on your plug.

Mid mornings, tie on your 1.5-ounce chartreuse, chrome or white slabs.

Locate your large schools in the river channels and main lake areas. Drop your slab and let it free-fall to the bottom and reel it up quickly. Stay in contact with your slab, they will hit it on the fall.

By mid month, look for the traditional surfacing top water action in the same areas.
