The strangeness of Texoma

Posted by admin on October 10, 2016

Got to spend a couple of days on Texoma late last week goofing off, only the second time this year I went fishing to well, go fishing. Couple of observations, first, based upon the photo, can you guess where the baitfish are? You got it, dead in the middles of the drains, was interesting to watch, early in the day they were in the backs, then as the day warmed they backed out, you can see here late in the day they were all the way back out, the drain you see there is about 300 yards deep and they had backed to there as the water warmed.

The other thing, Texoma, I bet I have spent way less than 5% of in my fishing time on Texoma, yet in that time I have caught 2 fish on the same bait (other than an a-rig, had 3 triples in one day on an a-rig at Toledo) 5 times total, 4 of those at Texoma. I have had one owl come down and grab a frog I was fishing, Texoma. I have had one loon eat a fluke, Texoma. I have been pooped on by one seagull, Texoma. I have seen one bobcat swimming, Texoma, and I have caught one needle nose gar on a Senko, Texoma. Number five, one cast double, came Friday.
