Fishing has been sporadic in the mornings for the last few days.  Our afternoon trips produced 7 fish weighing between 15 and 22 pounds.  The stripers are still scattered all over the lake in small schools.  Most of the schools are located in the river channels and on the edges of the channels in 35 to 45 feet of water from Washita Point to the dam.  

Buy a couple of dozen large shiners, find a hump or drop-off and have some fun.     

Bruce Hysmith, Texas Fisheries Biologist, reported TPWD has been stocking Lake Texoma with threadfin shad on a regular basis.  Five thousand have been stocked so far.  Their goal is to stock 30,000 threadfin shad before they stop.
