Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Spots
Updated November 3, 2026
By Guide Steve Buckley
Lake Texoma has fishing access for bank anglers and boat anglers. The locations below offer different shoreline, point, flat and channel conditions. Use them as starting places, then look for baitfish, wind direction and depth changes rather than assuming fish will always be in one spot. Check access, weather and water conditions before heading out.
Lake Texoma Bank Fishing Spots
Denison Dam
Denison Dam offers access for bank anglers, but it can be crowded. Early mornings or weekdays may mean less competition. The Lake Texoma Spillway Boat Ramp is another place to check. Striper, catfish and white bass are among the species discussed here. Check the fishing regulations for the water you intend to fish, especially around the dam and downstream boundary.
Eisenhower State Park
Eisenhower State Park is near Lake Texoma Dam and offers shoreline access and a public fishing pier. Rocky shoreline provides structure to investigate for shad and stripers. The park also offers family recreation including hiking, biking and camping. Anglers pursue striper, white bass, crappie and catfish here.
Lighthouse Marina
Lighthouse Marina offers lakefront access, a store, restaurant, playground and cabins. For boat anglers planning a multiday visit, it is close to Table Top, the dam, and the Washita and Red River channels.
Juniper Point Public Use Area
Juniper Point Public Use Area offers waterfront access, a public fishing dock and a campground. Bank anglers visit for catfish, crappie, white bass and striper.
Burns Run West
Burns Run West and East offer shoreline for bank anglers, campgrounds and boat ramps. September can offer topwater fishing near shore. Striper, white bass, smallmouth bass, crappie and catfish are among the species anglers pursue here.
Highport Marina
Follow Highport Road to the marina shoreline. A north wind can push bait toward this bank, making it worth checking for stripers. This well-known spot receives fishing pressure; assess access and conditions before choosing where to fish.
Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Spots-Boat Anglers
Cardinal Point
Cardinal Cove Marina is on the Oklahoma side of Lake Texoma. Look for threadfin shad early in the morning, then check the bank line from shallow water to about 20 feet.
Sand Bass Pass
Sand Bass Pass is a place to investigate from September to January. Use caution: this area is very shallow. In September, stripers may push threadfin shad onto sandy beaches, creating opportunities for surface plugs.
North Islands
The North Islands are a September topwater location, where stripers may push threadfin shad onto sandy flats. Approach quietly with the wind or trolling motor. Do not run your outboard through the shallow fishing area.
Platter Flats
A northwest wind can push shad into Platter Flats. Humps and ridges provide structure to check with artificial lures or live bait, and stripers use these flats throughout the year. Start by checking shallow water and consider deeper water as the sun rises, guided by the bait and fish you find.
Burns Run
September can offer topwater fishing along the Burns Run shoreline. Stay quiet when approaching shallow fish. When the surface bite ends, checking water around 20 feet is one option rather than continuing to work an empty shoreline.
Preston Point
Preston Point is a year-round place to look for stripers chasing shad. Check the point and nearby coves when bait is present.
How to Find Active Stripers
Look for threadfin shad, wind-blown shorelines, points and flats, depth changes and bird activity. These clues help you decide which areas to investigate. Fish location and depth change with conditions, so use what you find on the day rather than relying only on a familiar spot.
