Spring has arrived, and with it comes one of the best seasons for striper fishing on Lake Texoma! As water temperatures rise and the fish become more active, anglers are seeing fantastic action across the lake. At Bonefisc Striper Guide Service, we’ve been tracking movement, adjusting tactics, and helping clients haul in quality striped bass week after week.
🎣 Spring Conditions: What’s Happening Now
As of April 2025, Lake Texoma water temps are ranging between 58–65°F, depending on the time of day and location. This warming trend is triggering a strong pre-spawn striper bite, especially in shallower areas and along ledges.
The recent weather patterns — a mix of sunny days and light rain — have created ideal conditions for consistent action. We’re seeing a lot of movement near the south end of the lake, with fish cruising through points, rocky shorelines, and submerged structure.
📍 Best Spring Striper Fishing Hotspots
Here are some of the areas producing the best catches right now:
Washita Point – Mornings here are electric with active schools.
Platter Flats – Great structure holding mid-size and trophy fish.
Near the Dam – Deep water plus warmer surface temps = prime staging zone.
Our guides are watching the sonar closely and targeting suspended fish just above thermoclines.
What’s Working Best This Month
We’re seeing the best results using:
Live Shad – Especially effective on downlines and free lines.
Soft Plastics – White flukes on 1oz jig heads mimic fleeing baitfish well.
Topwater Lures – On calm mornings, pencil poppers are crushing it around sunrise.
Clients are reporting solid hookups before 10am, with a second window of activity from 4–6pm.
✅ Pro Tips from the Bonefisc Team
Keep your bait just above the fish you’re marking — not below.
Don’t overlook windy banks — bait gets pushed there, and so do the striper.
If the bite slows, try a slow-trolled umbrella rig along drop-offs.
We’re tailoring every trip to current conditions to make sure our guests leave with big smiles and even bigger fish.
