Man oh man people things are crazy on Texoma. In my 40 years 21 of which been guiding plus my dad Bill Carey been fishing Texoma and also a guide since mid 70's i have seen several floods and many high/low water times. This was so fast of a rise and i have NEVER seen the lake get this red all over. I'm talking neon orange. 98% muddy! We are at an all time high water and records have been broke. Several trees and BOATDOCKS are FREE FLOATING out there! Fishing has been on and off to say the least. May is the prime time for us and everything has been making adjustments trying to survive and doing best we can. From no breakwater killing our dock and having to move to the back and generators and using rowboats to get to the boats and making make shift platforms to load up its been ongoing. We have got into some fish on most days but not anything close to normal. Right before the spillway and floodgates the RAMBO style fishing i named in 07 started up we were catching and for almost a week all was great. This should go on all summer. here is a little teaser video this stuff takes me a LONG time to do...

This poor doe worked for 30 minutes AFTER swimming across the lake to get in the woods. She was so tired we had to scare her to a cove so she could get out of the water. Such impressive animals.
So then the floodgates opened and spillway rolled over and our fish quit being consistent "how could they lake was rising so fast" and it sucked the fish right out of the trees...last few days they have kind of returned but not much clear water at all. The crowd was growing daily so I decided couple days ago to try a different approach...
my oldest says "dad are you really going to fish in that?
