GOOD. Water stained; 86-88 degrees; 3.22 feet below pool. Striped bass are hit-or-miss with smaller sized fish being caught under the birds, then blind casting shallow flats in 1-6 feet of water for larger fish. Best baits have been pencil poppers, slabs and now swimbaits are in play. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors. Striped bass fishing is great. Big fish are along flats in 5-15 feet of water drifting gizzard shad, or working topwaters along the banks. Box fish are running the ledges in 30-40 feet of water on threadfin shad picking through a lot of smaller fish. Catfish are good drifting cut shad along flats in 15-25 feet of water and catching numbers on anchor in 30-40 feet of water off the bottom. Bass fishing is slow with the low lake levels but it’s a great opportunity to drop waypoints on exposed boulders or lay downs that will be covered this fall and spring. Crappie are slow on minnows fishing brush piles in the little mineral arm using electronics to locate active fish. Seeing a lot of small fish.
