  • Summary

  • As of November 15, 2024, Lake Texoma is offering some excellent fishing opportunities, especially with the cooler weather setting in.

    ### Weather and Water Conditions
    The water temperature is around 69 degrees, and the lake is slightly stained with a level 0.28 feet below pool. The weather has cooled down significantly, which has improved the fishing conditions.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:13 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Striped bass fishing has been great, with many anglers reporting daily limits. These fish are actively feeding on live bait, particularly live shad, in depths of 25-40 feet near river channels and creeks. The topwater bite is also picking up, especially early in the morning in the shallows. You can expect to see some surface action, especially with the presence of diving birds marking feeding schools.

    Catfish are also biting well, with blue, channel, and flathead catfish being caught on cut bait, live shad, and prepared baits like punch bait. Look for them around channels, coves, and main lake points in 15-50 feet of water.

    Crappie fishing is fair, with fish being caught on jigs and live minnows around brush piles, boat docks, and creek ledges in 8-20 feet of water.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, live shad and topwater lures are highly effective. When the fish are deeper, using slabs under gulls can be very productive. Swimbaits are also working well when there is more surface action.

    For catfish, cut bait, live shad, and prepared baits like punch bait are the way to go.

    Crappie are biting on chartreuse paddle tail jigs and live minnows.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots is around the river channels and creeks where striped bass are feeding on live bait. Another good area is the brush piles and creek ledges for crappie. The main lake points and coves are also productive for both striped bass and catfish.

    Overall, Lake Texoma is in great shape for fishing right now, so grab your gear and head out to take advantage of the excellent conditions.
