あらすじ・解説
As of December 22, 2024, Lake Texoma is offering some excellent fishing opportunities despite the cold winter conditions. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
### Conditions
Lake Texoma is currently at 100% full, with the water level at 0.73 feet above the conservation pool[2].
The water temperature is around 55 degrees, and the water is stained, which is typical for this time of year[1].
### Weather and Time
Sunrise today is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:00 PM. Expect cloudy days with some wind, which tends to improve the bite over clear, bluebird days[1].
### Fish Activity
Striped bass fishing is good, particularly when drifting with flukes in 55-65 feet of water near the islands and along the river channel. Pay attention to light bites and thumps. The deadstick tactic using a 4-5 inch weighted fluke is also effective in deeper waters. Fish are starting to move to their winter patterns on structure and humps in 15-25 feet of water. Following the bird activity will help you locate the deeper fish[1][5].
Crappie fishing is slow but can be productive using jigs around brush piles in 10-14 feet of water, aided by electronics to locate the fish[1].
Bass fishing is good along the bluffs using live shad and soft plastics with a slow retrieve. Catfish are biting well on cut gizzard shad chunks in 40-50 feet of water on flats[1].
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, use Alabama rigs, slabs, live shad, or weighted flukes. Swimbaits and topwaters work well in the backs of coves and creeks during early morning and late evening. For bass, live shad and soft plastics are effective. For catfish, cut gizzard shad chunks are the way to go. Crappie can be caught using jigs and dead minnows on brush piles[1][5].
### Hot Spots
Some of the best spots to fish include the Denison Dam, especially for striped bass. The Islands and the areas west along the river channel are also highly productive. Additionally, consider fishing around North Island, SandBass Pass, and the structure near TaDotTaDah Point[3].
Overall, Lake Texoma is in great shape for winter fishing, with a variety of species active and responsive to the right lures and baits. Enjoy your time on the water
