I fished Texoma Saturday 7/18 and Sunday and the experience was dramatically different. Both days there were boat shows in the middle of the lake on Tabletop and in front of Mack Creek and Soldier Creek. I fished near Granpappy point on Saturday and the fish were travelling along the edges of the drop offs. I was able to spotlock on the edge of the drop off in 49-52' of water. There were huge schools of fish travelling through mid column and I was able to get multiple bites per school.

This weekend I fished N of tabletop in 30-35' of water and saw even bigger schools of striper and some smaller blue cats 12-14'. I was able to thump in schools of even more fish that were hugging the bottom but in this case they did not bite nearly as well so I ended up with 4 striper, 3 cats and a drum.

It was still fun to get out fishing and I was also finally able to catch up to John Blasingame to get him to show me how he fishes with his P-line Sassin jigs and drop off his thumper with remote. He was the first guide to try one of my thumpers and he asked for a remote for it so he can keep it in his console. If you have ever watched my videos you know my thumper is pretty loud so I actually stuck it in my rear under seat compartment which toned down the noise but still enabled me to thump in fish.

Let me know if there is anything you want to see in my videos!

Hey man that’s pretty cool. Nobody out here uses a thumper I should give it a try I live near Las Vegas. We have a Lake Mead out here that has a lot of Striper that we catch but we’ve never tried a thumper. Do you make your own?
By the way I went and checked out your YouTube channel and I subscribed.

Great write up, thanks for sharing the info. I don't get up to Texoma much anymore, but I sure long for it, the days I used to spend on it and the days I will again, someday, so your write up bring up those memories and hope for me. Take care and great fishing!

Darren, I have a friend out there that has one. Give me a call and I can try to link you up with him! 972 689-4245. I do sell them and it’s much easier to buy one than make one!
