Fishing Lake Texoma this past week has been an adventure. High winds have made for rough water. The stripers on Lake Texoma must be enjoying these conditions and have been giving us fisherman a high time all week.

Over the past week fishing on Lake Texoma, I have seen a big change in the size of striper's being caught. Some very good sized fish are being caught early in the morning, just after sunup, on shallow waters, 2 feet and less on "Pencil Poppers". A lot more seagulls are also starting to work the water. It seems that every year around this time they show up overnight.

Our last four weeks of striper fishing on Lake Texoma has been outstanding. I have spoken with guides who have fished Lake Texoma for twenty years and more and they all agree that the fishing has been the best they have ever seen. Limits of good 17 to 24 inch and larger fish have been the norm. Catching a limit of these fish in a very short time has also been the norm. . . .

The Lake Texoma pool elevation of Lake Texoma has hovered just under 624 feet for the past week which is about 7 feet above normal. The water temperature is 71-76 degrees depending where in the lake you are and the water is off color.

Striper fishing is incredibly good right now and most guides are fishing two trips a day. I'm using live bait and fishing in 65-90 feet of water . . .

With the arrival of May the arrival of one rod fishing has come. The past week's striper fishing on Lake Texoma has definitely been the best of the year. I have spoken to several other guides who all agree that fishing is at a peak right now. Fish are grouped up in good schools and on the feed.

I'm anchoring down in 40-70 feet of water in the river . . .
