Striper Fishing 101

Never been Striper fishing before? Here are a few tips on what to do during your first Striper fishing adventure:

• Embrace Quiet – get up and to the lake early or head in during the late afternoon into the evening. Stripers tend to be more active when the world is still quiet. When the lake isn’t cluttered with many fisherman is the opportune time to reel in your big catch.
• Live Bait – consider using live bait. Stripers have been able to differentiate between artificial bait and live bait, with live bait always being more successful in catches.
• Patience is a virtue – sometimes you’ll cast a line and nothing will happen for hours, but you can catch a fish when you least expect it. So have some patience and wait for that great catch.
• Be quick on your feet – stripers swim quickly, reel them in as soon as you feel that tug or they could get away.

The perfect place to start your striper fishing hobby is at the beautiful Lake Texoma. To book a fishing guide call 903-814-5566.

How to Cast

Want to cast like a pro? Remember practice makes perfect and soon enough you’ll be casting effectively and reeling in fish! To ensure a great cast every time, start by lowering your lure about halfway between the tip of the rod and the reel. On a spinning reel, flip the bail open and hold the fishing line using your preferred hand. Take hold of the lure with the other hand.

Before casting out your line, draw down the tip of the rod pulling the lure back towards your chest. Take aim, looking straight down your fishing rod. Release the lure as well as the line you are holding with your finger. As the line comes off the spool, the lure will help move it forward, out into the water. Reel back in the excess line. Now all you have to do is grab a seat and wait for the fish to start biting!

Cold Water Fishing

All fishers know that when it comes to the cold season, it gets hard and harder to get a bite on the line. That does not mean you have to hang up your rods for the season which is why we have provided a few tips to help you with your winter fishing

Stick to fishing lower or higher water. Fish like bass tend to stick to shallow water for food or head into the lower water. If the water is clear, stick to deeper water and shallow water when it is murky as bass will use dirty water as camouflage. Fish slow as to not startle the fish and use bait that will move slowly in the water.

Rather than struggle, seek the assistance of a professional angler. Texas residents can look to Captain John Blasingame at Adventure Texoma Oudoors.

Nothing Fishy From Flooding

Lake Texoma has risen and fallen a good thirty plus feet over the span of four to five months, churning up sediment and making for rougher waters during recent floods. But never fear! We are happy to report that the fish have resumed a more consistent pattern at a more stable elevation and with cooler water temperatures. The fish currently being reeled in are ranging from fifteen to thirty inches and even larger. That’s not us blowing bubbles, that’s just a fact! So come cast a line where the water is fine, at Adventure Texoma Outdoors!

Freshwater Fishing

Tips for Fishing in Freshwater

Freshwater fishing happens in lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers. The species found in freshwater are different than those found in saltwater, making the two types of fishing completely different. If you enjoy freshwater fishing, here are some tips for you.

Use a Slip Bobber

This is basically a bobber with a hollow hole going through it so you can tie a knot and a stopper above the bobber. The knot allows you to decide where on your line the bobber stops so you can get any depth you want.

Bait

The best bait to use when it comes to freshwater is worms, minnows, and soft shell. In the end, it comes down to the specific type of fish you want to catch, and using bait based on that.

Wash your Hands

When fishing in water with little salt washing your hands is very important. Fish can smell a foreign scent on your bait and lures and that can turn them away.

Use these tips the next time you go fishing in freshwater. You can try a trip with Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
