Fished the evening of 11/9 with wildeyes and cocohoes in 36 feet of water. About every 4th fish was a good box fish! It is really starting to get better day by day. I have a trip with customers tomorrow and am really looking forward to see what it does in a 24 hour period. The wife caught the biggest of the day!

Fishing the past week has been real easy! Fish sizes are starting to pick up more but still picking up smaller fish to finish box. Defenitely seeing bigger box fish and some really nice overs, though. Starting to be like it should for this time of year.

Been starting out with some topwaters and swim baits. Been using papa dogs and pencil poppers on top. Using 4" glow cohoes and 3" storm wildeyes of various colors for swim baits. Our swim baits are all working, no matter the color.

We were catching fish right on the shoreline while they were chasing bait up and feeding. Caught fish on anchor in 36 feet of water. Our best fish came while drifting bait in 20 plus feet of water by the islands.

It is getting better every day now and throwing back quite a few fish just having fun. Come on to Texoma and let's go have some fun "fising"!

10/31. Fianlly got some lure fish going for us again. It started really good but slowed up after the sun got on the water with no clouds. Topwaters haven't been going real well. We were catching mainly on white jigs with white grub tails. We dropped bait after a while and it was fast and wild. We were able to throw back smaller fish that weren't injured and try to catch better size. We fished in water from 3 feet to 48 feet in depth. Seems like fish size is increasing a little each trip and they are getting a little fatter.

Fishing this past weekend was good. Friday we caught on lures and bait. Not any good sized fish for us on that day, even in the shallow. It was pretty windy out on the lake and we stayed out of it as best we could. We fished in water from about 38 feet on anchor and did drifting in water up to 5 feet casting at the banks.

Saturday was calmer, but we had bluebird skies. We did catch nicer fish today. It was a littler slower because of the weather change but still managed a good limit of fish. Fished mostly in the same area.

Had a 2 boat trip on Sunday. We fished half a out time with lures and half with bait. We were catching on lures but not real fast. Our best fish did come on lures and went up to about 12 lbs. We finally dropped bait under the birds up behind the islands and it was game on! We wanted to make sure we got a limit of fish so customers would have a good fish fry.

Fishing seems to be getting stronger by the day and hopefully the fish size will just keep getting better, as well.

10/16 We had a change in the weather. The South winds were gone and the North wind started with chillier temps and no clouds. Went looking for fish because I knew they would move with the weather change. Tried some topwaters with a little luck and cocahoes with a little more luck but bait was the ticket. We drifted in water from 24 feet up to 6 feet of water. The shallower we got the better the fish. Still catching a lot of small ones but the bite is picking up.

10/17 We still had bluebird skies and North winds. Hit the shallow banks at sunrise with lures. We only managed 1 or tow on topwaters and then a few more on cocahoes before the birds went crazy out in the 17 to 28 foot water. Game on! Still smaller fish but a lot of fun catching and releasing while getting the box full.

10/18 I got to fish a family with a couple of younger fellas so it was no trying lures. We had 3 boats looking for fish. We all started in different areas while looking for them. We started under the birds in 18 feet of water and started instantly catching. There were too many boats showing up and it turned the fish off rather quickly. We ran to another boat on the river ledge in 30 feet of water and almost couldn't keep bait down most of the time. We were still catching the smaller guys but had 2 really nice fish come in the boat. The big boys can't be more than 2 or 3 weeks out!

Saturday, Oct 10th, I fished for another guide that had a 3 boat trip. It was pretty windy out and I was hoping the fish would be on the banks in the area we were fishing at. They weren't! We dropped bait down after an hour of looking for topwaters. We drifted in the wind in 24 feet to 8 feet of water to catch our fish. It wasn't fast and furious but we did get a boat limit before we headed in.

Sunday, October 11th. Had heavy mist and white caps when we started. Headed toward the windblown banks to try the shallow fish. We got numerous hits and only 1 hookup that we lost at the boat. The gulls started banging the water out in the middle and we headed for them. I let the guys know that if we dropped down bait it would be "game on"! We got out in front of the birds and dropped bait. Didn't take all that long to catch 30 fish in those conditions. We drifted the same water as the day before. Our largest fish was the last one caught that went about 26". Good fishing in big winds.

Monday, October 12th. Started marking fish when I got close to the area we had been fishing and it was just barely daylight. It had misted on the way out and quit about the time we got on the fish. I had 2 adult and 3 kids so it was a bait trip only. We had a limit of 50 fish by 9:45. The 5 year old was hooking up just as much as the older members of the crew. It was a lot of fun and we left the fish biting even after letting several fish go back to catch another day. It just keeps getting better! Better get you're Fall trip booked now!

Sunday fishing was windy, wet & wild. Rained almost all day with waves up to 3 feet. Was hoping for some topwater action but the wind just wouldn't let us try where we were fishing. Dropped down bait and caught 2 nice fish pretty quick but they wouldn't keep biting. We moved around to different areas fishing mostly 12 to 17 feet of water on a "fast" drift. Did well with the bait on that for a while and they shut off. We moved over into Rock Creek and found some fish and finished them off in there pretty quick. Bait fishing was good but never took a shot at lures. Feeding fish are turning on!

Fishing is picking up again! Water temps have cooled and the fish are starting to feed. Still catching a lot of smaller fish but getting a mix of over 20 inchers. I am starting to clean fish that have been eating, which is a great sign! It should only get better with every day now. Cloudy & rainy weather is due in tomorrow and I am looking forward to the change that should bring. I haven't had any trips on days when the fish have been feeding shallow on lures but that should be different tomorrow! It's time for you to book a trip right now for the fall fishing. All of my October weekends are taken but I do have some weekdays open. Give me a call because the Fall fishing is on!

Haven't posted since my last trips and I had better get it done. We have had some rainy weather over tha past week and a half. On days when it was raining the topwater fishing has been very good. Fishing in water 1 to 3 feet deep for them. On days where the sun has been shining the topwater is over very quick and we have gone to bait. Fish are biting well. Larger fish on topwater and smaller fish on bait. Fishing in many different areas and having a good time doing it!

Feels like forever since I posted a report. I haven't had many customers this month and haven't fished all that many times. Fishing has definitely picked up and if you are at the right place you can get some good ones going on topwater and bait. Larger fish are being caught in VERY shallow water on chugbugs better than about anything. Bait is doing well and the small bait are getting the small fish while the big bait is getting the bigger fish. Lake should be turning over any time. Getting some very needed rains to help cool the lake down along with cooler temperatures and shorter days. Things are just going to get better from here on out!
