 Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Texoma fishing report for Friday, May 23, 2025. We've got ourselves a beautiful late May morning on the lake today.

The water's currently running stained with temperatures around 65-70 degrees, and the lake level is sitting about 14.91 feet above pool. This high water is creating some interesting fishing conditions, so pay attention to those submerged trees that are starting to show their tops.

Striper fishing has been hit-or-miss lately, but there are still opportunities out there. Early morning topwater action can be productive, especially near shallow flats and creek entrances. Once the sun gets higher, shift to fishing flats and ledges in 15-25 feet of water with live bait. By midday, those stripers are suspending around 40 feet down over deep flats in 50-65 feet of water. With the lake levels up, some fish are moving into the flooded trees, so watch for some exciting surface strikes there!

The shad spawn is winding down, but there's still plenty of bait in the system. If you're targeting stripers, try swimbaits in 10-20 feet of water after that early morning topwater bite fades.

Catfishing has really fired off in the murky flooded waters. Look for channel and blue cats around flooded willows and rocks in 5-15 feet of water. Cut shad and prepared baits are working well for numbers and good-sized fish. Flatheads are hitting live shad near stumps off the bottom.

Crappie fishing remains good on jigs and medium minnows around brush piles in 12-15 feet of water. Most are smaller fish with the occasional spawned-out female.

Bass fishing is good on the south end of the lake. Try live shad along gravel flats in 5-10 feet of water. Jigs, swimbaits, soft plastic worms, and craws are also producing around points and rock piles.

For hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the windblown points for white bass action, particularly at daybreak. The flooded timber areas on the north end are holding some nice catfish, and the rocky points near Washita River entrance are producing mixed bags of stripers and white bass.

Remember folks, this is Memorial Day weekend, so expect heavy boat traffic out there. Keep your eyes open and practice safe boating. Take a moment to honor those who've made the ultimate sacrifice for our country while you're enjoying the lake.

This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. Tight lines, y'all!
