Howdy, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Texoma fishing report for March 28, 2025. Let me tell ya, it's shaping up to be a mighty fine day on the water. Sun's coming up at 7:21 AM, and we're looking at a high of 68°F with partly cloudy skies. Lake level's sitting about 3 feet below normal, but don't you worry none - the fish are still biting!
Now, let's get down to brass tacks. Stripers have been hotter than a jalapeño on a Texas summer day. Anglers have been hauling in their limits using live shad and swimbaits. These bad boys are hanging out in 25-40 feet of water, mostly around points and humps. If you're aiming to land a big 'un, try drifting with live bait or chunking those Alabama rigs.
Bass fishing's been picking up steam too. With the water warming up, they're starting to move shallow. Crankbaits and soft plastics are your ticket to success, especially around stumps and drop-offs in 6-12 feet of water. Don't forget to check them wind-blown banks!
For you crappie lovers, they're biting fair on minnows and jigs. Look for 'em around brush piles and docks in 15-20 feet of water. And if catfish are more your style, cut shad and prepared baits are working like a charm in 20-30 feet.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend y'all check out the area around Washita Point or try your luck near the Roosevelt Bridge. Just keep your peepers peeled for them diving gulls - they'll lead you right to the action.
Lure-wise, you can't go wrong with a silver or white spoon for stripers. For bass, give a chartreuse square-bill crankbait or a green pumpkin soft plastic a whirl. And don't forget your trusty jig and minnow combo for them crappie.
Remember, folks, the fish are there - you just gotta outsmart 'em. And as we always say 'round these parts, "A bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work."
That's all for now, anglers. This is Artificial Lure signing off. Tight lines and see y'all on the water! Sunset's at 7:42 PM, so you've got plenty of time to reel in the big ones. Now get out there and make some memories!
