  • Summary

  • As of January 24, 2025, Lake Texoma is offering some excellent fishing opportunities despite the cooler temperatures. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:

    **Lake Conditions:**
    The pool elevation is currently at 615.42 feet, which is about 0.58 feet below normal. The water level is stable, and the conservation pool is 97.41% full[2].

    **Weather and Time:**
    Today, you can expect a chilly morning with temperatures in the mid-40s to low 50s. Sunrise was at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM. The weather is mostly clear, making it a great day to be out on the water.

    **Fish Activity:**
    Striper fishing remains great, with many anglers reporting limits of fish. Stripers are actively feeding on points and humps in 25-40 feet of water, where live shad are producing excellent results. Swim baits are also effective on shallow points and humps off creek ledges in 5-12 feet of water[1][5].

    Catfishing is also strong, particularly on deep flats off the river channels closer to the ends of the lake in 25-55 feet of water. Drifting cut shad or using prepared baits on flats and ledges in 40-50 feet of water is yielding good results[1][5].

    **Best Lures and Bait:**
    For stripers, live shad, swim baits, and Alabama rigs are the go-to choices. Deadsticking flukes along river channels and deep flats in 40-60 feet of water is also highly effective. For catfish, cut gizzard shad and prepared baits are working well[1][5].

    **Hot Spots:**
    Some of the best spots to try include the Eisenhower State Park Bluffs on the Texas side, Denison Dam, and North Island on the Oklahoma side. West Burns Run in Oklahoma is also a hotspot for stripers[3].

    Overall, it's a great time to be fishing on Lake Texoma, with plenty of active fish and clear weather conditions. Make sure to slow down your approach and stick with the fish if you're getting bites, as they tend to turn on longer into a drift. Good luck out there
