Well Ole Texoma has had some abuse for mother nature. FOR REAL its been a LONG hard 5 months more alot of struggle,worry and doubt,SIGNS of hope every few trips but still very hard most days,terrible turn-over poor water quality,re-scedules re-fishes and lost of lost revenue we was hurting in a bad way. We kept our chins up best we could and listened to and kept up the positive talk. At times we all were near cracking Then november came with cold fronts and rain "lets not go there lake has rose a foot plus TODAY" and a pattern emerged on slabs and soft plastics. The gulls are working all over the lake you just have to check if its schooled up stripes or the random dink making gulls work. Also pounding structure with cranks,topwater plus cocamoes and slabs from www.moestackleshop.com was getting some action and fish of all species caught. Thx mike foe exceptional service som of those new colors deadly! Before i let go on the eye candy i want to STRESS how much MORE i have come to cherish each fish and am CHOOSING to keep only what they need for table fare. Texoma not back 100% but MAJOR improvement! Most days releasing a few to an unreal number of good quality fish to give somebody else a thrill. We are looking forward to a great dec/jan bite call us or your favorite guide and book a trip. okay enough pics from trips last few weeks...

Great report and pics Chris. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the report Chris. I thought Texoma had dried up and all the guides were selling cars. But we couldn't find which dealership, cause they kept it to themselves. Just kidding. Nice fish and glad to see the Big Water on the mend. Wish my boat was.

Love seeing the come-back!

Awesome pics! White bass look like over inflated footballs lol

Glad someone was taking pics last couple of trips I was on I was so excited just to catch Striper I did not want to do anything but get my lure back out there.Waiting to see if the big girls are still around,and show up soon.Great post Chris!

That is awesome Chris. It looks like the big pond is turning the corner and coming back.

Big spotted bass, and nice smallies! Now you got my attention. My favorite bass to catch is the spotted bass. Prettiest of the bunch for sure.

Way to go guys!
