Striped Bass

Been getting sidetracked for some time since we fished the Lower Illinois River in Oklahoma last year. Been wanting to post the catch and cook video of the brunch we had following the trip. We caught a Striped Bass and two Rainbow Trout we kept for the table. Did get other fish but released them… [read more]

Had an awesome time on the water at Lake Texoma this past Saturday. Was a busy day on the lake being Labor Day Weekend, but it was manageable. Tried trolling at first and had a few strikes. Was hoping to locate balls of Shad with the depth finder, and then try to jig a slab… [read more]

Had a fun weekend making the run across the border from Texas to Oklahoma to have a little non-work time… Minor League Baseball, good food and drinks, fishing a river for trout and striped bass, and even a little catch and cook time! Had a great time… here is a quick recap of the fun…. [read more]

Chilly evening and work has us sidetracked from fishing. Was hoping to finish the underwater video edits from this past Sunday, but was not able to… luckily, we can always relive past fishing trips through videos like the ones below!  

No fishing this week so far. Been itching for more Striped Bass. Remembering the tasty striped bass fillets from a trip to Texoma earlier last month. Fillets went well with grilled brats and vegetables. Add the dirty rice to the meal, and all was good. Although the weekend approaches, not sure if we can sneak… [read more]

Finished the video of today’s kayak fishing action on Texoma sooner than later. Had a fun time even though we did not hook many. Cannot wait to give it another try again. Next time, will bring more Slabs and definitely the depth finder! Also, video has some snippets of a school of helicopters?, Denison Dam… [read more]

Cooler temps this morning but did make the run to Texoma and put in a Spillway Ramp. Had one school pass and was able to catch one Striper. Later, worked a school of shad and was able to catch a Gaspergou. All was quiet, trolling, jigging, and sight casting but no more schools breaking the… [read more]

Murphy’s Law struck hard today with one Striped Bass caught, then soon after our line broke. While re-rigging had schools breaking the surface as they passed near the kayak! Also, had issues with our second camera, so had to work with only one POV for most of the trip. Still had a fun time with… [read more]

Has been a busy work week but we did make it to Denison Dam Saturday for another round of fishing. Brought the 6-weight Switch Rod, lots of Clouser Minnows, and the dip net to catch Shad. Last time we were here, the fish were only taking Shad and did not want our Clouser Minnows. So, just… [read more]

This round we went back to Denison Dam Saturday morning for another go at Striped Bass. The generation schedule showed no planned generations until around 12:45PM. So, by the time we started fishing, we had at least three solid hours to fish the pools and runs! Last week we picked up a Lamson Waterworks Liquid 4… [read more]
