Striped Bass

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]

This round we do a quick recap of the local ponds fished this past week – Bethany Lakes, Sonic Pond, Eagles Nest aka “Pond Behind In-N-Out Burger”.  And then, we go into Saturday’s trip to Denison Dam. Was a tough go but did catch and release a couple of Carp as well as hook into… [read more]

Planned to fish the Blue River for Rainbow Trout today but heard the recent rains muddied the river. Was still wavering yesterday on where to fish, so just in case decided to tie some Clouser Minnows to go along with the Near Deere, GRHENs, and Rainbow Warriors. Good thing we had the Clouser Minnows! Ended… [read more]

Been itching to go to Denison Dam with all the water being released and reports of Striped Bass being caught! Made it Saturday afternoon and saw lots of water and some fish being caught. After taking some video of the area, pulled out the surf casting rods and began fishing. Fished for several hours with… [read more]

Water went over the Spillway at Lake Texoma this weekend! Denison Dam Tailrace should be looking good for Striped Bass this year; hope the action gets as hot as it did back in 2007! Follow COAF Field Team’s board Lake Texoma Fishing on Pinterest.
