Anyone have any luck recently fishing on Texoma?

[white92coupe]

I'm wanting to go fishing with my family this weekend at Texoma. Is anyone having luck with any particular lure or bait?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Shad or shad imitating lures.

Thanks bassin. I've fished with guides in the past using shad, and one guide we did catch and release with sassy shad lures for a bit too. I've got some sassy shad, and crank baits ready to go. Hopeful we get on some this weekend.

Thread fins are hard to come by right now so if you are looking for shad expect gizzards. Umbrella rigs and chartreuse sassy shads are good now with a decent top water bite too. Lots of people are buying "black saltys" in place of thread fins.

Couldn't find shad anywhere a few weeks ago we had to go with some black salty's had a bunch of jug lines out caught about a 8-9 lb cat on one we were catching a bunch of gar on those also.

Not sure what they were using for bait but my dad said he and a buddy got into'em pretty good (stripers) Sunday morning.

How did it go? We didn't get to fish at all this weekend but I did see a couple "boat shows" south of the hwy 70 bridge.

We ended up not getting to fish at all the storms Saturday night kept us in, and only my dad and I wanted to fish Sunday morning. We decided to not do it and just hang out at the beach with my niece and nephew. Had a great time though! I might try to make it down on fall break.

You can get all the shad you want at newberry creek early morning or in the mouth of the river by oil wells in 8ft of water in middle of the day. and I am talking several hundred shad every time you throw the net. Fishing has been great down south by burns run early morning on the river ledge in 30-40 ft water evenings I would fish table top in 30ft of water drifting
