Local Species Breakdown

Lake Texoma's renowned fishery supports multiple species that require different approaches throughout the year. The lake's striped bass population provides world-class fishing opportunities, especially during spring and fall when these powerful fish move into shallow feeding areas. These hard-fighting game fish typically run 3-8 pounds with trophy specimens pushing 20+ pounds, and they're most active during low-light periods when they chase shad in open water. Understanding their seasonal patterns and preferred structure is crucial for consistent success, which makes them perfect examples for Tim's educational approach.

Largemouth bass represent another key species that anglers love targeting in Texoma's countless coves and creek arms. These fish relate heavily to cover and structure changes, making them ideal for teaching electronic reading and lure presentation skills. Spring spawning periods bring excellent shallow water opportunities, while summer and winter patterns require understanding deeper structure and seasonal movements. White bass also provide fantastic action, especially during their spring runs when they stack up in predictable locations. Learning to identify and effectively fish these seasonal concentrations gives anglers reliable action when other species prove more challenging.
