  • Summary

  • Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on what's happening at Lake Texoma as of February 5, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the conditions. The water temperature is currently around 48 degrees, which is a bit chilly, but that's not stopping the fish from biting. The water level is about 1.02 feet below pool, and it's stained, so visibility isn't the best. However, this can actually work in your favor, especially when targeting species like striped bass and catfish.

    ### Weather and Tidal Report
    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 58 degrees and a low of 42 degrees. There's a gentle breeze out of the northwest, which can make for some excellent fishing conditions, especially for those targeting striped bass. Since Lake Texoma is a freshwater lake, we don't have to worry about tides, but the wind direction can still influence fish behavior.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at about 7:15 AM, and sunset is around 5:45 PM. These times are crucial because they often mark the periods when fish are most active.

    ### Fish Activity
    Striper fishing is good right now, especially in deeper waters around 60-80 feet. Look for areas with bait fish, as stripers tend to congregate around these schools. Use flukes or swimbaits slow-rolled across the bottom on structure and humps in 15-35 feet of water. Alabama rigs with shad are also effective, particularly on main lake points and creek points[1][5].

    Bass fishing is a bit slower due to the cold water, but you can still catch them using soft plastics off main lake points and creek points. Focus on structures and flats with stumps in 8-12 feet of water. As the weather warms up, expect bass to move up shallower to feed in the backs of coves and near rocky points[1].

    Crappie are active in 18-25 feet of water near drop-offs and rocky points. Jigs tipped with a minnow and using electronics to locate active fish are your best bet[1].

    Catfishing is slow, but you can find bigger fish near the rivers and on shallow flats in 10-25 feet of water. Drift whole gizzard shad or use anchored setups casting off ledges and drop-offs[1].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For striped bass, flukes, swimbaits, and Alabama rigs with shad are top choices. When targeting bass, soft plastics like curly tail grubs or plastic worms work well. For crappie, jigs tipped with minnows are highly effective. Catfish can be caught using live shad, chicken liver, or cut bait[1][2][5].

    ### Hot Spots
    If you're looking for some hot spots, I recommend checking out the Eisenhower State Park Bluffs on the Texas side. This area is known for its excellent striper fishing, especially during the fall and spring. The point below Armadillo Hill is particularly good when there are northwest winds[3].

    Another great spot is Denison Dam, also on the Texas side. This area offers a mix of deep and shallow waters, making it ideal for targeting various species, including striped bass and catfish[3].

    In summary, Lake Texoma is offering some great fishing opportunities right now, despite the cooler water temperatures. Make sure to check the latest fishing regulations, as they can differ between the Oklahoma and Texas portions of the lake. With the right lures and knowledge of the best spots, you're set for a successful day on the water.

    Happy fishing, and see you out there
