Lake Texoma Fishing Report. Wednesday, October 24, 2001. Lake level: 617.43. Water Temperature: 68 degrees. Water clarity: Clear. Generation: 3:00pm to 10pm. Weather: low 73 / high 88 / windy / 4.55 in. rain in October. Fishing time: 7:00 a.m. till noon, Sunday, October 21. Captain Joe Grigar took the Joe Bowyer family for an exciting family outing. They returned to the dock with 25 silversides around noon. The silversides will be feeding in large schools until the water gets to cold in December. Get out your cold and wet weather gear for the early bite in the morning. After the sun comes out, fall days are perfect to enjoy the excitement of catching the hard fighting stripers. Stripers to 8 lbs. are eating flukes, white spinner baits and Sassy Shad on windy points. Live bait in deep water working well in the afternoon. Stripers were generally slow over the last weekend. Bass are slow to 6 lbs. Buzz baits, jigs and flukes or spinner baits are working best in 1-15 feet of water. Try windy points. Catfish are good on jug lines and cut shad is working well around boathouses on rod and reel. Crappie are being caught off deep ledges and deep brush piles on small shad. Sandbass good in 10-35 feet of water in the mouths of major creeks using live shad and small plastic baits under feeding birds.
