  • Summary

  • Hey there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene at Lake Texoma as of February 7, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the conditions. The water is stained, and the temperature is sitting at a chilly 48 degrees. The lake is currently 1.71 feet below pool, which can affect the fish behavior but also opens up some new spots to explore.

    For those targeting striped bass, the action has slowed down a bit due to the colder temps, but it's still worth the effort. Look for stripers on humps and structure in 10-30 feet of water off the river ledges. You can also find them in deeper water, around 55-75 feet, near bait balls. Alabama rigs or shad on structure in 15-25 feet of water are your best bets. When the bite on these rigs slows down, switch to deadsticking or using Alabama rigs in deeper water to catch the bigger fish.

    Crappie fishing is slower with the colder temperatures, but you can still find them in deeper water. On warmer days, they tend to move up shallower. Use small paddle tails and split-tail jigs, and slow down your presentation to increase your chances. Bass fishing, both largemouth and smallmouth, is also slower, but warmer days will see them moving up shallower to feed in the backs of coves and near main lake points. Target areas with brush and structure, and again, slow down your presentation.

    Catfishing remains on the slower side as well, but you can still catch bigger fish by drifting shallow water near creeks and coves in 12-25 feet of water using whole shad. Electronics can help you locate individual fish roaming the flats.

    Now, let's talk about some hot spots. The Washita River arm and the Red River arm are always good places to start, especially around the river ledges and humps. Another spot to check out is the area around Eisenhower State Park, where the structure and brush piles can hold a variety of species.

    In terms of lures and bait, for stripers, those Alabama rigs and shad are hard to beat. For crappie, those small paddle tails and split-tail jigs are your friends. For bass, use something that mimics a baitfish, like a crankbait or a soft plastic. And for catfish, live bait such as shad or chicken liver is always a winner.

    Sunrise today is at 7:16 AM, and sunset is at 5:38 PM, so plan your day accordingly. While Lake Texoma doesn't have tides like coastal areas, the solunar activity can still influence fish behavior. Today's solunar activity is average, but it's always a good idea to fish around sunrise and sunset when possible.

    Remember to drain the water from your boats and onboard receptacles to prevent the spread of zebra mussels, and always check the latest fishing regulations before you head out.

    That's it for now, folks. Stay warm, and tight lines
