    Hi John,

    Welcome to Ido!

    I’ve been on Texoma all of one time and it was in late Sept. So I don’t know how much this will help you.

    We hired Trophy Catfishing Adventures the day after Hurricane Ike came through. Two to three foot waves…what fun!

    We fished mostly flats with a three way set up drifting (with two drift socks out)using shad as bait.

    I’ll be back with a link to our fishing report.

    Sooner ‘n I expected! I’m going up&down the list answerin’ folks. The answer is: I fish from shore most frequently. I do have a couple of boats, 10 & 14 ft. flat bottoms and an old Vivian i/o [needing a transom seal] so it’s OOC. Short ans. bank, cut bait, shad, punch bait. THANKS jaybow :

    Fish shallow with fresh shad right now. Cleaning stations produce good also on Texoma.

    Howdy TXcat, I been busy followin’ yer advice. Gettin’ some shad and fishin’ shallow. Catchin’, but with most bites on punch bait of allthings! Better fish of coarse on cut bait[buffalo,shad]. Windy shore best. I do mean windy, 46mph one day. Welcome Aboard! jaybow
