In my 25 years of guiding I would have to say overall the summer has been above par. Some of the over 20 inch fish are thin but I have seen it many times before. Few months back Shad were scarce and now they are everywhere. Mother Nature always finds a way to fix things and both Texas and Oklahoma biologists are active in the monitoring of the lakes species.I always try to live in the positive instead of the negative and Texoma is just one heck of a fishery. I have noticed though that negative posts sure get a lot more views and just a lot more action than positive fish reports.its does bother me a little but It’s because of all of the crazy people and friends I have met on here that I keep posting.
Lake is full “also amazing we went over three weeks without a drop of rain” and is in good shape water temps 83-85 and the turnover is very close I’ve been smelling hints of it for a couple weeks now. The fish are moving so fast but there is some top water schooling action and when you’re on out it sure is a lot of fun. On most days they prefer a top water bait over a swim bait so lots of “be careful “
Fall is right around the corner and while lots are thinking about hunting there is some of the best fishing of the year. Doves and deer lower the lake traffic and that is always a plus.
