Lake Texoma Fishing Report – April 8, 2026
Quick Answer
Striper fishing on Lake Texoma is steady with a full limit caught on April 8, 2026. Fish are holding in 15–25 feet and biting live threadfin shad during early spring pre-spawn conditions. This bite is improving daily and is a great time to book a guided trip.
Early spring is lining up just right on Lake Texoma. We’re sliding into that pre-spawn window, and the striped bass are starting to group up and feed consistently.
Today’s trip with three anglers produced a full legal limit. Action was steady from the first stop. Not a wide-open frenzy, but solid fish coming over the rail all morning. Most of our bites came drifting live threadfin shad in 15 to 25 feet of water.
Water clarity is in good shape right now, which helped us stay on fish once we located them. With a light south wind around 10 mph and temps pushing the upper 70s, conditions couldn’t have been much better for this pattern.
Big fish of the day went 8 pounds, with several quality keepers mixed in. These pre-spawn fish are healthy and feeding, and it’s only going to get better as we move deeper into April.
If you’ve been thinking about getting on Lake Texoma, now’s the time. This bite is building momentum, and dates are filling fast.
