Striper Tactics 101

On Lake Texoma, light tackle is the name of the game for striper fishing. We'll be using a mix of techniques, from trolling to casting, depending on where the fish are biting. You might find yourself working a topwater lure as the sun starts to dip, or jigging in deeper water where the big ones like to hide. Our guides are masters at reading the lake, so they'll adjust tactics on the fly to keep the action hot. And let me tell you, when a big striper hits your line, you'll be glad we're using light tackle - it's a fight you won't forget. We'll teach you how to play these powerful fish without losing them, and before you know it, you'll be reeling in stripers like you've been doing it for years.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass are the stars of the show on Lake Texoma, and for good reason. These powerful fish can grow to impressive sizes, with 20-pounders not uncommon and the lake record tipping the scales at over 35 pounds. Stripers are known for their aggressive strikes and hard-fighting nature, making them a favorite among anglers. They tend to school up, so when you find them, the action can be fast and furious. Spring and fall are peak seasons, but summer afternoons can be red-hot too, especially when we target them in deeper, cooler water. The thrill of battling a big striper as it tries to dive deep is something every angler should experience.

Blue Catfish are another prized catch in Lake Texoma. These whiskered giants can grow to massive sizes, with some specimens topping 50 pounds. They're bottom feeders, so we'll use different tactics to target them, often fishing near underwater structures or in deeper channels. Blue cats are known for their tenacity - when one takes your bait, you're in for a real tug-of-war. They're most active in the warmer months, making them a perfect target for our afternoon trips. And if you've never tasted fresh-caught catfish, you're in for a treat if you decide to keep your catch.

Barred Sand Bass, also known as sand bass or white bass, are the unsung heroes of Lake Texoma. These scrappy fish might be smaller than their striped cousins, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers and fight. Sand bass often school in large numbers, providing non-stop action when you find them. They're particularly active in the spring during their spawning run, but we can catch them year-round. Pound for pound, sand bass put up an impressive fight, making them a blast on light tackle. They're also excellent eating fish, so if you're looking to take home dinner, sand bass are a great option.
