Striper Fishing With Live Bait-Top 3 Essentials for Lake Texoma Success

1) Bait Tank:

Lake Texoma Striper DO NOT like dead shad.  If you want to be a Big Time Lake Texoma live bait angler you will need a bait tank that has proper aeration, filtration, and good design.  Putting live shad in your live well on your boat will not work very long.  We see this a lot and most live well bait anglers drift dead cut bait for Striper and end up catching a few catfish!  Most Lake Texoma Fishing Guides own a Sunshine Tank!  

2) Cast Net:

Cast Nets are a personal preference, but you will need more than one.  The angler that rolls out on Texoma looking for shad with one cast net will get hung up on a boat dock or tree stump and lose the net!  It’s very hard to fill up you bait tank with a dip net 🙂  The Big Box Stores carry what you need and most common sizes are 10 foot, 3/8 to 1-inch mesh, and 1 pound lead weight.  Please make sure you check local cast net regulations on all lakes you fish before your trip.

3) Electronics: 

Catching shad on Lake Texoma can be very tough and we are currently buying shinners!  Texoma can run out of shad or they run off and hide from guides for months.  Side imaging electronics can save the day.  Some days you can pull into a cove and see shad popping out of the water!  Once cast and you have a full bait tank!  Other days you buy shinners!  Electronics help, get the best you can afford.

Lake Texoma Fishing Guide Aaron Sharp-Live Bait Fishing Equipment Essentials

Here are some other pieces of equipment that will make anglers better live bait fishermen.  A good anchor with a few hundred feet of rope will help anglers when you are not drifting live bait.  At times we will anchor up and 2-4 other boats will tie off and this calls in schools of Striped Bass!  You will want a splasher for the back of your boat.  We put a small trolling motor by our big engine with a splasher blade.  Clients ask does the splashier blades and thumpers really work?  The simple answer is YES!  If you are going to drift live bait on Lake Texoma for Striper we suggest a sock to slow your boat speed.  Some Lake Texoma Fishing Guides use two drift socks.  The last is rod holders. There are many different brands, but most Lake Texoma Striper Fishing Guides have them.

Lake Texoma is a very special Striper fishery and we hope everyone comes up for a visit.  If you want to enjoy a day on the water with the best Lake Texoma Fishing Guide, give Aaron Sharp a call at 580-380-5357
