Fishing Report

Tuesday, February 11, 2003

Water pool level: 613.97, normal annual pool level is 617 feet.

Water temperature: 46 degrees.  Water clarity: clear. Not generating.

Partly cloudy with a light north wind, low 34 degrees, high 55
degrees.
The forecast for the next two days is for cold mornings with afternoon temperatures rising to the lower 60s.

A great way to land a big striper is fishing live shad 30 feet deep in 35 to 50 feet of water.  Stripers are feeding on the upper ends of the lake where the rivers come into the lake.  Our stripers are already forming roe and milt, staging for an early spawn in the mouths of the Red and Washita rivers .Sassy shad are working well west of the islands east to TI Point.  This is a good time of the year to start your fishing trip around 10:00 a.m. or later.

Christine Flores from Mesquite, Texas won the free fishing trip plus lodging for two at the Mesquite Sports Show. She and the family came to Lake Texoma to fish February 10, 2003.  They left the dock around 
10:00 am.  The best action started late in the afternoon when a 19 pound striper was landed.  They ended the day bringing 17 silversides to the cleaning table, except for the big'un, which will go on the wall.
