  • Summary

  • Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing around Lake Texoma. As of today, January 31, 2025, here’s what you need to know to make the most of your fishing trip.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. We're expecting a partly cloudy day with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to the mid-50s, which is pretty typical for this time of year. Sunrise is at about 7:20 AM, and sunset will be around 5:45 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the water.

    Lake Texoma, being a large reservoir, doesn’t have tides like coastal areas, so you don’t need to worry about that. However, water levels can fluctuate, but currently, they are at a manageable level for fishing.

    ### Fish Activity and Recent Catches

    Striper fishing has been excellent lately. These fish are being caught in deeper waters, particularly on the northeastern side of the lake. Look for them in depths of 60-80 feet, especially near bait schools. Flukes and swimbaits slow-rolled across the bottom on structure and humps in 15-35 feet of water are working well[1][2][4].

    Crappie fishing is also promising, with fish found in 18-25 feet of water near drop-offs and rocky points. Using jigs tipped with a minnow and relying on electronics to locate active fish is a good strategy[1].

    For bass enthusiasts, soft plastics off main lake points and creek points off the banks are producing results. Look for structure and 8-12 foot flats with stumps for largemouth and spotted bass[1].

    Catfishing has been a bit slow, but bigger fish can be found near the rivers and on shallow flats in 10-25 feet of water. Drifting whole gizzard shad or anchoring up and casting off ledges and drop-offs with live or cut shad is the way to go[1][2].

    ### Best Lures and Bait

    For stripers, flukes and swimbaits are top choices. When targeting crappie, jigs with minnows are highly effective. For bass, soft plastics like curly tail grubs or plastic worms are good options. Catfish, as mentioned, are best caught with live or cut gizzard shad[1][2].

    ### Hot Spots

    If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the Eisenhower State Park Bluffs on the Texas side. This area is known for its good striper fishing. Another spot is Denison Dam, also on the Texas side, which is a favorite for both stripers and catfish. On the Oklahoma side, North Island and West Burns Run are excellent spots to try your luck[4].

    In summary, Lake Texoma is offering some great fishing opportunities right now. With the right lures and bait, and by targeting the right areas, you should be able to land some impressive catches. Stay warm, stay safe, and tight lines
