Lake Texoma spans over 89,000 acres along the Oklahoma-Texas border, creating diverse fishing opportunities throughout the year. The lake's clear waters and abundant structure provide excellent habitat for blue catfish, channel catfish, striped bass, and largemouth bass. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action, with catfish remaining active year-round in deeper channels and creek mouths.
Our guided trips focus on proven techniques like bottom fishing for catfish using cut bait and live shad, plus casting and trolling methods for striped bass and white bass schools. Russell's local expertise helps you understand seasonal movements, optimal depths, and the most productive areas based on current conditions and weather patterns.
Lake Texoma's fishing success depends heavily on understanding seasonal patterns and water conditions. During warmer months, early morning and evening trips produce the best results as fish move into shallower feeding areas. Winter fishing remains productive, especially for catfish in deeper channels and around submerged structure.
Wind direction significantly affects fishing success on this large reservoir. South winds typically improve conditions by pushing baitfish toward northern shorelines, while strong north winds can make fishing challenging in open water areas. Russell monitors weather patterns closely and adjusts fishing locations accordingly to maximize your chances of success.
The lake's thermocline during summer months concentrates fish at specific depths, making fish finders and local knowledge essential for consistent results. Our guided trips include instruction on reading electronics and understanding how seasonal changes affect fish behavior and feeding patterns.
