Had the pleasure of fishing Mike Brandt and Mel on a beautiful Tuesday morning. Lake Texoma served up a big helping of humble pie. Fished several different areas in several different depths. Was a nice day for a boat ride with good company.

Weekend report
starting to see alot of small fish show up. sometimes you have to move to get away from them. the bigger fish seem to be holding to structure like points and ledges.

Windy weekend
the striper don't seem to mind the wind. the shad are spawning right now so it is a good opportunity to do some top water fishing. drifting live shad on points and ledges is also producing.
