  • Summary

  • As of November 9, 2024, Lake Texoma is offering some exceptional fishing opportunities. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    **Weather and Water Conditions:**
    The water temperature is around 65 degrees, with the lake level at 2.68 feet below pool. The water is normally stained, which is typical for this time of year.

    **Sunrise and Sunset:**
    Sunrise today is at around 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:15 PM.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Striped bass fishing has been excellent, particularly with live shad. Anglers reported catching a significant number of stripers yesterday, with many fish suspended around 30 feet down in 40-60 feet of water. Look for diving birds to mark feeding schools, as they are still active despite the warmer temperatures.

    Largemouth bass are good on crankbaits, Texas rigged worms, and spinners. Drifting live baits in less than 20 feet of water has been producing the best results. Some bass are moving into shallow water, chasing shad in the 3-10 foot range.

    Catfishing is good on chunked up gizzard shad, especially when drifting along the bottom in 50-60 feet of water. Crappie are fair on boat docks and brush piles in 8-12 feet of water, using jigs and live minnows.

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For striped bass, live shad and slabs are highly effective. When there is surface action, swimbaits work well. Topwaters and swimbaits in 5-15 feet of water on flats and the backs of creeks are also productive.

    For largemouth bass, crankbaits, Texas rigged worms, and spinners are good choices. For catfish, cut shad and prepared baits in 40-50 feet of water are recommended. Crappie are biting on chartreuse paddle tail jigs and live minnows near brush piles.

    **Hot Spots:**
    Focus on the main lake points and the backs of coves for striped bass. For largemouth bass, the bluffs and rocky coves are good areas. Catfish can be found along the ledges in 30-40 feet of water, and crappie are often near boat docks and brush piles.

    Overall, Lake Texoma is in its fall fishing frenzy, with plenty of action across various species. Make sure to keep an eye on the birds and adjust your tactics accordingly to maximize your catch.
