Got a last minute trip with Chris Carey today, left work ran home and met up with Jake and Brandon at Mill Creek
We head to the first stop looking for some birds to start, don't see much but start catching stripers right off, nothing big but steady and fun. Stay there for a while then move across the lake and ran into a maylee of good sized striper in 30 - 50 ft of water, some where busting top and finally the birds start working hard and we started catching the good ones. It was a circus for a while, at one point all four of us where hooked up and tangled up with each other. These big fish where mad and broke one of my reels. Can't tell you how it feels to hook up with an angry healthy striper but you don't want it to stop. We all caught a lot of fish, we all caught many overs. I didn't keep track maybe Chris will chime in with the count but it was a lot. Fishing is good at Texoma, get you a guide and get out there.

Chris and Myself:

Very nice.

Steve, I've been out with Chris so is it safe to assume yall were using plastic?

Great looking fish!!!! Looks like the big pond is on fire right now.

Yes we caught them on sassy and other soft baits but also slabs. Soft swim baits seem to work best, either tossed out let it go to the bottom, lift up reel let fall back or in deeper water count down 10-15 then slow reel back. I didn't see the graph but at times Chris would say that they are stacked from 15-35 feet.

haha, the name is Jack, nice to meet you today Steve...

Just like yesterday! Fish are looking really good!

Nice fish guys!

Sorry Jack, it was late and my arms were tired from fighting fish. Nice to meet you and Brandon, hope to fish with you again sometime. If you or Brandon have some pics to post please do, these were just the ones I had in my phone.

Awesomeness!!!

best part was we fished from 230-5pm we pulled a serious about of poundage in a short time
released way to many to mention but the best part was the big school was all 22-28 inch fish that were pissed off and mad about it. stripers love this water temp i got canceled for tomorrow if anybody wants to be crazy "weather looks horrible"

Saw you out there Wednesday Chris. Was in my Key West dual console, not the one you mentioned with the black 225.

Greatness!

ALL RIGHT Steve. Glad you got up there and got you some of those. Also great job Chris putting them on the fish. Nice job Jack and Brandon. Texoma is the place to be. And guess what? I have to work this weekend LOL

Great report and nice job Steve and crew.

Chris - call me on cancellation for tomorrow. PM sent. Thanks

Great job guys. From the look of the stripers I'd say the shad kill last winter didn't hurt them too much. Congratulations on a great trip. I wish they would move Texoma closer to the metro-mess.

The shad kill created a shad explosion this year.

Guys, getting my new boat this week: 2001 pathfinder 2200V... Cant wait to get it up to texoma. Am i nuts or will i be fine in a 22ft CC bayboat on texoma?

The boat is plenty large. It is not the boat but the operator. Play it cool until you get some experience and stay off the lake when the weather is bad and you will do well.

Nice fish boys

Your title says it all, Steve!!

Nice Ones!
