サマリー
あらすじ・解説
As of December 20, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake Texoma is quite promising, especially for those targeting striped bass.
### Water and Weather Conditions
The pool elevation at Lake Texoma is currently at 617.69 feet, which is slightly below normal levels[2]. The water temperature has dropped significantly, making it an ideal time for striped bass fishing. The weather is cool, with water temperatures around 55 degrees[5].
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise today is at approximately 7:23 AM, and sunset will be around 5:04 PM, providing ample daylight for a full day of fishing.
### Fish Activity
Striped bass fishing is excellent, with fish forming large schools in river channels and along ledges. These schools can be found in depths of 8-15 feet of water, particularly near coves and humps[1][5].
Crappie fishing is slow, but using electronics to locate brush and structure in 15-20 feet of water can help you find them[1].
Bass fishing is fair, with fish becoming more active around midday along structure and main lake points. Shad have mostly moved to deeper water, though gizzard shad can still be found in the backs of coves and marinas[1][5].
### Best Lures and Bait
For striped bass, live shad are still producing limits of quality fish. Flukes (dead-sticking) on a jig head are effective when fished suspended in deep water or along the bottom on flats. Swimbaits and slabs in 32-60 feet of water are also highly effective, especially when bird action indicates the presence of fish[1][5].
For bass, using live shad off the banks in 8-15 feet of water on main lake points and mouths of the coves is recommended. Suspending jerkbaits along main lake points can also be effective[5].
### Hot Spots
Some of the best spots to fish include the Denison Dam, where striped bass are often found in large numbers. SandBass Pass and the areas around North Island and The Islands are also productive[3].
Additionally, the west end of the lake near the mouth of the Red River is a good spot for catching striped bass using flukes and live bait. Keep an eye out for gulls working and birds on the banks near deep coves, as these can indicate the presence of active fish[5].
Overall, Lake Texoma is offering some great fishing opportunities right now, especially for those after striped bass. Make sure to check for any local regulations and to drain your boat and livewells to prevent the spread of invasive species.
