Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonFallStructureDocksI fished the lake for 5 days straight from October 23rd to October 27th with my tournament partner Iain for the Team Trail Outdoors TX Championship. Over the course of the 5 days, the lake ranged anywhere from 68-73 degrees and from about half a foot to up to 4 feet of visibility, with the backs of the creeks being cooler and more stained than the main lake was. Over the course of our time there, the weather remained pretty stable, with outside temperatures starting in the low 60's in the mornings and warming up to the mid to high 80's during the daytime, mostly sunny skies (except the final day of the tournament which got very cloudy) and steady southeast winds at 5-15 mph. We spent most of our time targeting fish on flats, secondary points, and under marina dock slips with chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, walking topwaters, crankbaits, jerkbaits, small finesse swimbaits, and drop shots. The fishing was overall pretty tough, but we were able to grind out a 2 day total weight of 15.14 pounds which was good enough for 32nd place in the event out of 121 teams, and helped us lock up a 6th place finish in the Angler of the Year points race out of over 200 of the best teams in Texas. Anchored by our day 1 limit of 10.68 pounds (pictured with the report), we were just a couple bites away from finishing inside the money, but unfortunately trolling motor issues on day 2 took us out of the game. The key was making sure baitfish were present in the areas we were fishing, and then fishing our baits thoroughly and efficiently through the area. Skipping chatterbaits and spinnerbaits into the marina dock slips was our main pattern that did most of our damage. The fishing on Texoma is tough right now, but they still gotta eat, so get out there and wet a line!

The ned rig was catching some nice smallmouths around deeper boulder and largemouths around docks. A spinning rod with 10# braided line with 8# fluorocarbon leader works well with this bait. Moving this bait fast around rocks will get bites on Texoma. Green pumpkin, PB&J, watermelon candy are all good colors for Lake Texoma. Check out the attached video and see the ned in action.

Fish are on points and are currently transitioning to coves and pockets. There will be fish scattered and a topwater is a great bait to cover water and get bites with. The fish will be following the baitfish.
