Yesterday afternoon and this morning Terry Coats, Wes Coats, Jay Borth, Kirk Friend and Robert Amerin from Plains, Kansas enjoyed catching limits of stripers both trips fishing with guide Roger Hill. The group fished in the rain yesterday until thirty minutes before dark. The sun came out and they experienced a spectacular sunset and a beautiful double rainbow that went from horizon to horizon on both sides of the boat.
Stripers feed great when the lake is cooling and on the rise. Afternoons have been super for both striper and catfish. Many of our anglers prefer afternoons when the temperature is much more pleasant than early in the morning. You will be on the lake late when fishing an afternoon trip. Make plans to stay overnight in our free guestrooms and enjoy the new game room.
Stay alert and always practice safe boating and respect the other fishermen while having a fun-filled day on Lake Texoma.
