I am just a reader here on TFF, but I'd like to say thank you for all the great information that you relay back to us here. Some nice looking fish also.

Thanks! I fell in love with Texoma! It’s such an amazing lake! I wish I could fish everyday but have to deal with that 4 letter word that takes up my weekdays and then have kids stuff on the weekends. I know people that can and do fish almost every day and are willing to share information with me and don’t mind me sharing it with you all! Hopefully it helps anyone making a long trip (or even a short trip) to fish Texoma! Between my thumper business, the occasional guided trips that I run (mostly instructional trips on how to use thumpers) and a lifetime of fishing memories, anything I can do to give back is worth it!

Thank you for reading it!

Thanks! I hope its helpful to you!

Fishing on Texoma has been hit or miss in March! Fish are spawning and even when you thump in a school they are lock-jawed and it’s hard to get bites. They are either hungry and willing to hit deadsticked lures and bait or not. We have been trolling Thundersticks 200’ back or Captain Mack’s and JD and Ed have been catching them either way! Can’t wait for the spawn to finish and the striper to focus on feeding! There are plenty of healthy fish!

Since the striper fishing is a little hit and miss, Josh Sutton from Southern Wind Guide service offers jugline and striper fishing trips. I fished with Josh and clients Friday and we caught 4 over 40” with the biggest going 48” and 57 pounds. We kept 30 catfish to fillet for a Homeless No More Church in Fort Worth catfish fry!

Striper action was better this afternoon and Brad from Circle B guide service thumped in a bunch in 17’ of water! Thumpers do work in shallow water!




It’s about to get crazy! The striper will spawn and be hungry!

Fishing has been much better! Ed from Ed's Guide Service caught these using bait and trolling! Can't wait until they start to school!

Ryan was coming to Texoma and wanted to know how to catch fish without bait. I let him know we have been catching them North and West trolling thundersticks. He caught a few nice ones!

And full of eggs ??

it certainly looks that way

Fun to catch, just wish they tasted better.

. Try this cleaning technique and recipe (starts at 4:40. My 7 year old and 9 year old daughters absolutely love them!





The water temperature has been right around 60 degrees so they should be spawning! Last trip all the big ones like this were males!

The saying remains intact, if one doesn't like the way stripers taste, its the cook !!

Lol cooked plenty of fish, just prefer others. I'll let yall have em!

Right there with you. They taste like dirt to me even if its fried. I fill my freezer with red snapper in June andJuly and leave the stripers for whoever else wants to eat them.
