Doug Shaw, Striper Guide at Lake Texoma

I found this in my shed. Two thoughts, I've got to enjoy Texoma for many years then you're getting old.

Catching stripers and sandbass in shallow water on top water and cohos. I was sure ready for them to
start feeding coming out of the deep water this year

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! My New Years resolution to post more often. I just got out of the habit.

We've been getting a lot of action. A lot of sandbass and keeping size stripers. A few nicer size most days. We've being throwing the banks. Fish are schooling in deeper water now and the size should improve.

Stripers are slow coming out of very deep water. Catching some nice size Stripers. Ready for water to warm for faster action.

Been a while since I posted. Went a long peroid catching a few bigger fish on top water then loads of sandbass and smaller stripers schooling. Water cooling getting nicer fish under the sea gulls

Good stripers are under the small ones surfacing on slabs. With any breeze lake is comfortable till around lunch.

Catching up on our fishing trips. We're still using top water and slabs. Starting at daylight till about around 11 then it gets to warm.

Trips since my last post. Skitt and John picked the right day. Big boys showed up and they wanted to hang them. Top Water and cohos still.

Fishing has been good. Top Water, cohos, sassy, and starting to hit slabs. Most of the trips since my last post.

The winds been incredible every day. My IQ drops about 20 points fighting it daily. I don't have enough to lose. Some top water should be starting.

Waters finally warming up and fish are moving into shallower water. It sure makes fishing easier with all this wind this spring. Sassy shads and flukes are what we're still casting.
