Lake Texoma Fishing Report: Stripers, White Bass, and Catfish Biting Strong
Good morning folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Texoma fishing report for Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
We are sitting at the tail end of May and Lake Texoma is fishing about as good as it gets right now. Water temps are holding steady in the upper 70s, with the lake slightly below pool but nothing to worry about. Sunrise today is around 6:15 AM with sunset coming in close to 8:32 PM, so there’s a big window to get out and wet a line[2][5].
Tides aren’t a factor up here on Texoma, but barometric pressure is steady and the weather for today looks warm and mostly clear, with a chance of some wind picking up in the afternoon. Keep an eye out for those windblown points because that’s where the action has been hottest lately[2][5].
Stripers are the star of the show this week. The bite is excellent on live shad, which are still fairly easy to net in the shallows right at daylight. Most guides and locals are limiting out drifting live shad over points and humps in 25 to 40 feet of water. There’s also a solid bite on swim baits and soft plastics on those same points and creek ledges in 5 to 12 feet, especially early and late[1][2]. If you’re after surface action, toss topwaters at first light near rocky and wind-blown points—stripers and white bass are schooling up on the bait pods[2][5].
White bass are in full swing. Find them on slabs and small swimbaits in 20 to 36 feet, particularly around the main lake humps. Umbrella rigs are getting hit in 15 to 30 feet, especially if you’re trolling through bait schools or along sand points with standing timber nearby[2].
Catfishing stays strong with cooler water and higher lake levels than usual for late May. Drift cut shad on deep flats off the river channels in 25 to 55 feet, or hit the ledges and standing timber in 25 feet where eaters are plentiful. Blue cats are mixed in with the stripers at times, so be ready for a rod to double over unexpectedly[1][2].
Crappie are good on brush in 25 feet, with both minnows and jigs getting the job done, and you can find them on deeper structure or brush piles. Bass anglers are reporting solid catches on jigs, swimbaits, and crankbaits off rock piles and points in 5 to 12 feet[2].
For hotspots, look toward the Washita Flats area for stripers and white bass, and check out the rocky points near Soldier Creek for topwater action at daybreak. Don’t overlook the timber and ledges on the Oklahoma side for a mixed bag of blues and channel catfish.
Best bets for baits right now are live shad for stripers and catfish, slabs and soft plastics for white bass, and traditional crappie jigs or minnows on the deep brush. As always, stay safe and watch for submerged trees—the recent lake levels have put plenty just under the surface[2].
That’s your Lake Texoma report. Tight lines, and I’ll catch you on the water!
